WOMEN'S AUXILIARY TO BOARD
OF MISSIONS.
Covington. July l. 1913.

The Women's Auxiliary to the
Board of Missions of the Protestant
Episcopal Church has departed from
its usual custom of having all its
meetings centralized in New Orleans.
At the Invitation of the country par
ishes they meet at outlying places:
believing that by SO doing they inn
press upon the members the fact that
the cause is Diocesan work
At the annual meeting, held at the
time of the Diocesan Council, an In
vitation was received and accepted
by the Auxiliary from the branch
connected with the Grace Memorial
Church, Hammond.
Yesterday the trains brought in
delegates from all directions. Many
came to New Orleans from other
parishes and came on with the New
Orleans delegation. A little girl on
the train, seeing so many ladies. and
not understanding that their pres
ence was not due to politics but re-
ligion. jumped up in the car and
cried votes for women.
The Christ Church Branch of the
Auxiliary was represented by four
ladies and their Rector. The men,
bers of Grace Memorial Church en-
tertained all the visitors at the Oaks
Hotel. There were members of the
reception committee ut all trains to
conduct the members as they arriv-
ed, to the hotel that they might fresh.
en- UP before the work of the day
commenced
Preceding the meeting of the Aux
Hilary proper, there was q celebration
of the Holy Communion, Rev. r. s.
Copeland, Rector Of Trinity Church

of the Bible. Matthew %, verses Is.
10 and 20, and Jesus came unto
them and spake unto them saying,

me in heaven and on earth, go ye
and make disciples OF all
the nations, baptizing them into the
name of the Father, and Of the Son
and of the Holy. Ghost. teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever
/ command you; and 10 / am with
you always, even unto the end o.
the world"
