TO HOLD PRAYER
SERVICE, TUESDAY
Fiftieth Anniversary of Start of
Woman's Work in Foreign Missions
To Be Observed Here.

The year 1901 marks the fiftieth
anniversary OF the beginning of wo
mans organized work for foreign mis-
sions In America.
II seemed advisable to the central
committee on united study which rep
resents the leading denominations
with the approval OF woman's foreign
mission boards, to hold series OF
meetings. beginning In October, 1910
covering more than thirty OF the larg
est cities. east and west, and culminat
ing In a great gathering In New York
The object Of these meetings was to
enlist the attention and interest OF
thousands OF women who do not un'
derstand the need and significance OF
the rpecial work for women and chill
dren under the care OF womens
boards.
The great Edinburgh conference
recognized in a marked degree the dis
tinctive share that women must have
In Lleeting the unprecedented needs
arising from the changes taking place
among women In all parts OF the
world. II becomes a challenge to the
most profound study and deepest con-
p secration that women may learn their
definite responsibility TO their less for
tunate sisters. These meetings were
. held with the hope that Christian wo-
men might have new vision OF the
greatness OF their task and to advance
the spirit Of unity that Gods work for
oppressed womanhood might be In
creased.

nent. organization has been effected
