Seelye, secretary and treas urer. was presented, and a report was pre- sented as well by Miss Elizabeth Noble of the Bishop Winner scholarship fund, whose final figures indicated deficit of sf. With the promptness that distin- guished this meeting of women the rep resentative auxiliaries through their dele gates pledged the necessary amount to the support of the girl student in Am nston. The poonday prayer for missions was succeeded by tempting luncheon spread for the delegates at the parish house. This luncheon was In charge of committe of ladies from St. Andrews church.
 The afternoon session opened with re- ports of officers of baby branch, junior branch and the Church Periodical club Mrs J. H. Legare, Mrs. c. M. Beckwith and Mrs. Stewart Mcqueen, with other routine matters to follow. The address presented by Miss Clara J. Nicely, united offering worker in Tokio. Japan. for the past IA years, was the chief matter of the afternoon session
 Miss Nicely is splendid speaker and the story she told of her work among the Japanese presented an Illuminating picture of conditions in that remarkable country and among a great people. She plead for missionaries of a high intellec- tual order, saying for the reason that the Japanese are so acute, keen and so logical that their own mentality demands teach ing of superior type; they are so strong in penetration that they are not easily de- ceved by one who is not in reality fa- nliliar with the subject Miss Neelys en- tire address was intensely interesting
 At it's conclusion reports from parish branches were heard and Mrs. Watkins Vaughn's report of educational work were presented before the adjournment A motor trip to Holy Tnnocents hospital followed by a sightseeing trip around the city was the final pleasure of the dele- gates.
