Of Wonfans Organized Work.

In 1860 devoted women in New
York City under the leadership of
Mrs. Thomas c. Doremus organized
the Woman's Union Missionary So
ciety. This organization was inter-
UNCONVENTIONAL and has always re-
NAMED so 1t is thus fitting that
Christian women of all communions
should unite in this Golden Jubilee.
To celebrate this notable year 1t has
seemed wise to the Central Commit

onded by the Womans Boards of the
various denominations, to hold a
series of meetings in thirty of the
largest cities of the country, begin
ming at Oakland, Cal, in October,
1910 and eliminating in great gath
ering in New York in April, 1911.
Albany and Troy are favored in
being two of the cities chosen for
these Jubilee meetings. but they are
not intended for these cities alone
but for all women in this section to
whom this good news comes.
The meetings will be of varied in
terest. The mornings will be devot-
ed to parlor meetings for especially
invited guests, while at the same
time conferences for workers will be
held at noon Of both days lunch.
con will be served; one in Albany
and one in Troy, at which it is expec-
ted a large number of women will
avail themselves of this opportunity
to meet socially, and to listen to mes
sages from the foreign field presented
by wide awake missionaries and 9th
ers.
In the afternoons UNCONVENTIONAL
rallies will be held, and representa-
tiyes from the Boards of each church
will be present TO suggest new meth
DDS of work which will lead to larger
gifts and greater interest
