>shurch women should unite to help the
komen of foreign lands. The idea
luickly spread, but was killed by the
american Board of Foreign Missions
gbecause "the women were stepping out
Gde of their legitimate province. So
b was not until seventeen years later,
h Mrs. Doremus's house again, that
he Woman's Union Missionary society
vas organized to include all denomina-
ions. 1t has ABB foreign missionary
5ocieties in the United States and Can
