noon at the Christian church. A
large number of attendants testified
to the interest manifested in this
subject. American social and re-
/ ligious conditions we're ably presented
in papers read that showed careful
preparation had been given to the
subjects by the women presenting
them.
The women of the Christian Mis-

pared fine program on the subjects
given them, also good music cheered
the occasion.
Mrs. George Cooper, president of
the society, presided The church had

as far north as Manitoba Many fine
points were brought out by this care
fully prepared paper and many urgent
calls upon our loyalty to the Red
Men emphasized.
An inspiring song "As Goes Amer
ica, So Goes the World" was sung
with vigor Mrs. Lavina Allspach
followed with her subject, Americas
debt to the negro" This paper
brought out the fact that it takes
greater courage to work at home than
to create a halo around your head
abroad. She told the story of brave
black man who returned to Africa to
labor for the uplift of his race. When
he graduated in this country from an
Industrial School the president of the
school gave him square, saw and
hatchet and said to him, whenever
you find any thing crooked in your
work, square it up. If you find any
thing a misit, saw it off. If you find
anything good, nail it down." BY
following this advice he wrought a
great good among the natives. Miss
Gladys Hogsett sang Ninety and
Nine" in most pleasing manner.
Mrs. Rudisill followed with paper
on the orientals and Asiatics and our
work among the Chinese and japanese
in the United States. All the papers
showed that careful thought had
been given the subjects and were both
profitable and helpful.
Then an open discussion was held
upon the topics of the afternoon and
the good meeting closed with Amer
ica, the song which thrills every true
citizen.
