The Woman's Mission Society OF
the Presbyterian Church wishes to
take this public means of expressing
its gratitude to those good people OF
Monroe who so cordially opened
their homes and churches for the
entertainment of the visiting women
of the synodical and to those who
gave so generously of their time and
talents and money, and placed at
our service anything we needed
from plants with which to decorate,
to automobile in which to ride.
There was nothing we asked for
which was not cheerfully turned
over to us. 1t was the knowledge
that this helpful spirit prevailed in
our little town which made US dare
to invite a state convention to be
held in our midst, That sisterly
co.oneration and the general hos.
pitality were the qualities most
cOmplimented and commended by
our guests The press has been
Generous to us in the good notices
in their papers and now we are
asking this last favor of telling all
the fine helpers we had how much
VIC appreciate them and hope to
have an opportunity in the future
to repay their kindness.

John b. Henderson a large marine
painting picture of the sea in mid
ocean-by Lucien w. Powell has for
some time hung on the stairway in the
Public Library. Recently, likewise
through the interest and kindness of
the same collector. another painting by
the same artist has been placed on the
opposite wall of this staircase. The
latter Is picture of the Grand Canyon,

best and most characteristic style. Not
only is this work very realistic, but
also very decorative, splendid in color
and of genuine interest.

years ago Mr.. Powell made journey

painting such scenes as these. and that
at that time he made special study of
the great canyons. At this time, when

of a single impulse toward religious
awakening and social reform. 1t is the
purpose of this discussion to bring to-
gether these many streams of religious
to one another may stand clear and
that their common bearing upon the
main current of East Indian life may
become apparent. The chief sources of
this general movement. as well as the
principal agents in shaping and .di

dealings with the country and the
Christian missions in their work. AR
illuminating introduction to the full
study of this subject outlines the his
tory of the British in India and re-
views the adjustments by which the
missions were permitted to take root
there and develop their widespread in
terests. AS a broad foundation for de-
tailed study the author sets out the
general character of the oriental mind
and upon this traces the quality and
character of the native religion as Il
soil for modern reform. With this
point as the light in which subsequent
events must be examined, Mr.. Far
quhar goes well into an intimate de-

now stirring India. considering these

bespeak for the future Of the country.
