rollment certificates, birthday cards and
flowers, and invitations to special day
Papers, books and magazines should be
circulated among the mothers.
Graded lessons suited to the needs of

Missionary teaching and temperance
instruction should be up to date ana

He asked that after 4 gathering of this

do something We have been TOO long in
coming to realization OF this, and have
been trying too much for results that
look large in the eyes Of the world
