corresponding secretary of the For
eign Missionary Society, addressed
the conference, saying the giving of
the gospel of Jesus Christ. to every
living soul was the greatest work in
the world and the women should have
a part in it. 1t is the mother, with
her children at her knee woh can keep
alive much of the mission spirit in
the world. She told of some of the
missionaries sent out and how God is
still honoring the work, for number
of young girls are ready to go out.
Missionary teaching should begin at
home at mothers knee"
Mrs. Watkins then urged that the
girls, children and women be told of
this great work and of the needs of
these great foreign lands for until
we know of these conditions we can
not realize the need of missionaries.
I know of lands that are in darkness,
but there is Name that will set these
lands on fire."
She told of the medical work in the
ZELDA hospital in Soochow, China
which the natives call the gate OF
Heaven
Mrs. Watkins asked earnestly that
each preacher have a Foreign Mis-
sionary Society" in his church. Don
think you can't have both-it is wei
to give to the extension work of thu
Home Mission Society," but the foreign
lands should be thought of, too"
"And the children should be on thu
Foreign Missionary roll" she added
go home to your congregation ant
preach it; there may be some one whit
is Gwaying as to what to do with hi
or her life?"
Mrs. Watkins closed by telling of

another thousand this year, showing
that the women are waking up.
