Baptist Women Confer On Missions
Semi Annual Meeting of Eastern Connecticut Foreign Missionary Conference Held Central Baptist Chur1h.

troduced by Mrs Roath as the next speaker, giving particularly vivid ad- dress on missionary conditions in Bur nah
 She went cut to the missionary serv ice in 1896. and she answered emphat- ically No to the question of wheth- CT the religions Of the east are good enough for the east No one who has seen the religions of the east as they are could return any other answer She spoke of the temples, some oD- scene in their sculpture, some filthy and dirty some the abodes of priests to whom the people give up their little girls body and soul Is there any , thing uplifting in all thiss You cannot argue that the religions of tEs east are good enough for them or that We should not go over to them with the truth of Christ The people of India are without hope. stultified, degraded.
 The work in Burmah is growing in S wonderful way. The answer to prayer is coming, but it is coming faster than we can meet it, and, friends, unless you can rise up to the results, please withhold from praying.
 The great demand for English is giving our mission schools great power, for the people generally prefer that their children should come to the mission schools. The people recognize the influence of the mission schools upon the lives of the boys and girls. We have the key to the situation in this wonderful influx of young people. You have got to live up to the answer to your prayers
 The Kemfnendine school grew from a first enrolment of about 65 girls, To- cated in the suburbs of Rangoon, in the early mission days. The people now are flooding the schools, making them short in buildings, teachers and funds. There are now over 300 in the school Miss Craft represents. with about 125 in the boarding department. Seed is being sown that IS sure to bring fruit. There is a kindergarten with 50 children who even at this age sometimes show how they are absorb ,ng the Christian truth. We are train ing them in a threefold way, and 1t IS seldom that they do not come out as Christians. Education with the Bible means BurInah for Christ. We are saving the race for Christ. The peo- pie in the jungles are glad to hear the story and as soon as they have re- ceiveG it, they are anxious to nave their children receive it also.
 Miss Craft closed with affecting story Of the life of an earnest Bur mese woman in the search for some thing that would bring peace to her soul. who eound this satisfaction in the message brought by the mission aries.
