ference is a ca use for much serious
thought and concern to our women.
She considers this lack due to the
failure of our women to obey the
Saviour's command of Praying
the Lord of the harvest to thrust
forth laborers into mis- harvest" and
made an earnest appeal TO our wo-

The sermon of Sunday morning
was preached by DR.. J. w. Kilgo,
presiding elder of the district, who
brought us message from the life
of Mary Magdalene to whom Christ
gave the first message of his resur-
rection and ascension. Will we not
be like Mary, eager and glad to go
tell of the risen and ascended Christ?

vice-president, had charge of Sunday
afternoon service to children and
Y. P. and made it an interesting and
instructive service.
Sunday evening at $3.50 o'clock
Mrs. Bourne gave toa good congre-

Christian America was failing

that unless we mended our ways
God would bringeus to our knees in
deep sorrow and humiliation.
The Columbia district conference
