THE WOMEN OF NORWICH
Joyousness and Spontaney of Reception and Hearnes of
Hospitality Gave Rare Test Big Convention
sitiveness of Spiritual Atmosphere

for a peculiar blessing on this gather
ing.
Those who from their Iabors rest .
especially Miss Gilman. SO many years
the beloved president of this branch,
seemed present in spirit, and in re-
membrance Of them hearts We're welded
closer and became even more DESTROYS
to serve their Master. Nor could 1t be
anything but an atmosphere of deepest
sympathy when we remember the
group of missionary sons and daugh-
tiers who have gone out from these
Norwich homes. Among these are
Della LeAvenS of Tung-chou and her
brother Dickson Of Changsha. China, a
member of the Yale mission, and Mrs.
Erownen Gage, the gifted daughter OF
DR.. and Mrs. s. H Howe, pastor of
of the board were held. Mrs Gage
aud her family are also with the Yale
mission at ChangghG; Susan Hunting
ton, directora of the international in
stitute for girls at Madrid. Mrs. Eliza
beth Barrows USHER of Van, Turkey,
whose parents now reside in Norwich
Town, Mrs. Harriet Hyde Zumbro of
the Madura mission and Rev Edward
H. Smith of 1nghok, Foochow. These
and others not now in the field, in
Guiding Miss Caroline E. Bush. who
was baptized in the GreeneVflle church,
made q background for such meeting
not to be ignored. Another happy cir
cumstance was the presence and as
sistance Of the pastors of the Congre-
gational churches of Norwich and vi
cinity. DR.. Howe. Rev: Edward s
Worcester. pastor of the Broadway
church, Rev Herbert J Wyckoff Of the
Second church, whose sisters. the
Wyckon twins, are missionaries in
Pang- Chuang, China, and Rev. G.
Henry Ewing, formerly of Paoting-fu,
China, pastor of the Norwich Town
church, each took part in some service
while other pastors were present and
helpful in many ways. The two devo-
tionaI meetings. Wedne sday and
Thursday, led by Mrs. s. H. Howe and
Mrs. D. o. Mears, were largely at
tended and notably earnest.

now Sister Boniface and is located in
Michigan City. A brother lives in
Cleveland O.
Was an Excellent Nurse.
Sister Arnolda first entered the order
on Sept ., 1899, and was graduated as
a nurse from the mother institution. At
different times she was located in Ev-
anston. Cleveland Omaha and Denver.
and she came to Hammond last Deem
Der. At st. Margaret's hospital she
was regarded of the finest
nurses, especially for operation cases,
that the institution has ever had. Dur
ing her Illness she was visited by the
reverend mother of the order, Sister
Josepha, and by the superior of the
order. Sister Bermuda of Lafayette, and
these two readily gave their permission
last fall to the effect that Sister Ar
nolda be transferred to Hammond,
where she could be under the direction
of Sister Eusebia. whom the patient re-
garded as one of her dearest friends.
The request was regarded as a dying
request of a faithful worker, and ev-
erything possible was done for her to
prolong her life, but without avail.
Sisters Mourn LOSS.
At st. Margarets the death of Sister
Arnolda, while cause for deep regret
and grief among the sisters, is bring
forth a manifestation of their unshak-
able faith in divine providence and an
exemplary bearing of preparedness for
which the women have steeled them
selves.
At the hospital this morning it was
pointed to a matter of significance
that Sister Arnolda should have passed
away on the anniversary Of the death
of her friend, Sister Luncina, and at
moment when Father Badina was at
the most sacred part of the requiem
high mass, the conservation which he
said for the repose of Sister Lucina s
soul.

their Incorporation papers and this
body will also have the election OF Of
ficers in charge.
Mr.. Mclean was entertained at
luncheon at the South Bay hotel, and in
the afternoon he met with the nominat-
ing committee to whom had been en-
trusted theresponsibility of selecting
directors for the organization
Those present were Mayor Schlieker,
Rev. NJ. NJ Day, E. N. Canine, Mrs.
Fred stephens. Mrs. Charles Egbert and
Frank Callahan Later DR.. Schlieker
took the distinguished guest to East
Chicago in his auto where he met 9TH
ers interested in the United Charities
movement
There was a large crowd present to
listen to Mr.. McLeans talk at the
Commercial club in the evening. The
speaker gave an interesting talk,
dwelling upon the advantages to be
gained by organized charity over those
provided by a number of societies, un-
affiliated. who in many instances
would simply duplicate each others
work through ignorance of the fact
that anyone else was working on the
case.
This method, the speaker declared,
was likely to have one or two ef-
fects upon the unfortunates whom the
charities sought to benefit. Either
they made grafters of those who re-
ceived help, or else, being approached
by SO many trying to give them aid
therecipients of so many attentions
grew to look upon the charity work
ers as intruders
He told how to best economic both
work and funds in order to do the most
good. and related incidents in his own
experience and in that of other char
| ity workers of his acquaintance.
