Mrs. A. c. Mute Entertains
Woman's Missionary Society.

WIS. ~. y. lNute EnteTtalnS
Woman's Missionary Society.
The beautiful hospitality rendered tn
Woman's Missionary Society last Mon
] day afternoon by Mr.. and Mrs. A. G
Mute in their lovely spacious home vii
, long be remembered in Union City a
one of the most delightful, enthusiastic
meetings we have ever enjoyed.
We were greeted at the door by on
host and hostess, when bevy of Lowell!
maidens, Misses Theresa Arm, Pauline
Barney, Roberta Tisdale, Louise Adams
and Helen Richards, took us in charge
refreshing us with delicious fruit nectar
and ushering us to comfortable seats.
The meeting was called to order by
our president, Mrs. w. w. Adams, anc
we sang Nearer My God to Thee, ,
which we might at most call our ma
tional religious hymn, followed by
| prayer ny our PRESIDENT.
A notable feature Of the occasion was
the presence of our two missionaries,
Mrs. Nance from China and Mrs. Neb-
lett from Cuba, our two guests Of honor.
Union City is always happy to welcome
theseaatgo home girls whenever they
l. surn. When we heard their glow
crds it delighted our hearts and
w 3ok courage. With them in for
eign lands
Love took up the harp of life
And smote upon all the chords with might;
Smote upon the chords of self
That trembling passed in music out of sight. "
They have learned the lesson we'll
that all must know who are Christ
taught; they serve God best who serve
His creatures most.
Next on the program was beautiful
duet by Misses Adams and Barney, and
next query box, the ladies asking
questions concerning Cuba, Mrs. Neb-
lett answering. 1t is needless to say
how much we enjoyed the information
Mrs. Neblett gave us in her bright and
entertaining way, but we know we are
much more interested in the Cubans.
She was followed by her two little chill
dren, who sang hymn for us in the
Spanish language and were much ap-
plauded. Perhaps the world does not
know that in the division of missionary
work Cuba was given to the Southern
Methodist Church. This queen of the
seas lies at our very doors. The same
waters wash her shores. Our nation
broke for her the shackles of Spain.
Can't we share with her our God, our
Christ?
Mrs. Nance was then introduced, who,
in imprisoned and enthusiastic Ian
guage, told us of China, that wonder
full sphynX of nation that was old,
old in the days of Abraham. She illus
trated the work being done there by
giving us the life story of three Chinese
girls-one taken from the lowest rank |
in society and adopted by a missionary,
one from the middle classes and one
from the highest rank. Each life was
touched and transformed by the knowl-
edge of Christ as given to them by
these devoted missionaries.
We certainly spent the afternoon on
The heights, and like the apostles at the
felt it good to be there.
We realized more than ever that the
world is of one blood and God was in
Christ reconciling it unto Himself.
If christian fellowship here below is so sweet,
What rapture shall we know when round the
throne of God we meet"
Dainty refreshments were served and
njoyed by all. Not half could be told
# this delightful afternoon, but at the
lose the ladies expressed their appreci-
ton in very touching but substantial
Fay, unanimously pledging themselves
0 educate little Chinese orphan girl
Tho is now in the care of Mrs. Nance :
nd being cared for by her. The Ameri-
an name given to the little girl by the :
adies is Florence Keiser - for Mrs.
lance. ,
Let us consider how we spend our .
me and money for that which is :
ought when we know we are not our :
wn but bought with a price. He !,
led for all that they which live should :
OF henceforth live unto themselves but !.
nto Him which died for them and rose !:
