Those who attended the evening meet
ing at the Congregational vestry last
Thursday were fortunate indeed, and were
rarely entertained by the interesting and
informal talk given by Miss Olive Gibson,
of the American Missionary Association.
Not only were they interested in the sub
ject of the speaker, but they were delight
ed with her witty and opportune stories
of the work of the Missionary Association
in New Mexico. Miss Gibson told hu-
morous as well as pathetic stories of the
Mexicans, and the difficulties the associa-
tion encountered in teaching them. She
spoke of the financial assistance given
by the churches, and of how much every
little bit meant to the association. Miss
Gibson, who was formerly a teacher of
mathematics in an eastern college, gave
up this work and it's salary to teach in the
schools of New Mexico Her manner of
speaking is unusually bright, and she has
rare humor.
