The report on womens work read
by Mrs H. Bawden, of Perth Stmboy,
was received with great appla use by
the delegates, most OF Whonl were
women. Mrs. Bawden read statistics
showing that 63 per cent. of Sunday
congregations and 81 per cent, of the
attendance at devotional exercises in
the association territory were women.
The feminist movement said Mrs.
Bawden, in concluding her address,
is heing talked about a great deal
at present, but it is nothing new; it
has been going on for a long time
in the church. She praised the move

harry ;. Myers. secretary of the
missionary education movement, de-
livered the report on mems work, and,
like most of the speakers who pre-
eeded him, he deplored the lack OF
funds with which to work. He dwelt
on the opportunities for social service
that the church offered men.
The excellent chances for mission
airy work in foreign lands, especially
China and Japan, was the burden of
the address our Providential Lead
ing" by Arthur L. Smell secretary
of the American Baptist Foreign
Missionary Society. With these coun-
tries waiting for the church to come
TO them, it was up to the Baptist
denomination, he told his auditors, to
know its opportunities He again
sounded the call for assistance in the
work. Funds were needed, he said,
TO send men into the field to
bring Christianity to the waiting
Chinese and Japanese. Lack of funds
had already resulted in three candi-
dates being notified that they would
not be sent to do missionary work, he
asserted. Attention was called by
him to one of the reports which
stated that if contributions were not
forthcoming forty or more workers
would have to be recalled
