There developed during the debate a
sentimental side to raising an army.
Men talked about the entrance of the
United States into the war as If the
same sentiment influenced the country
now as influenced the north on one
side and the south on the other side
during the civil war. There was an
assumption that the whole country was
as vitality interested In the war In Eu-

Country Voted For Peace.

OF course the men who took that
position did not consider the fact that
the country no longer ago than last
November voted against war-that Is,
they relied upon President Wilson to
prevent war and voted that way. In
consequence of that situation 1t can
be understood that there is no great
desire on the part of all the people Of
the United States TO rush off 1000 900
or 100000 or 100000 men to the
trenches Of France and Belgium TO
fight against Germany.

emigrant mother and child. Credit is
due Mrs. Rheingans for this number of
the program; the song, "My Own Unit

was well received; the address, "Amer-

masterful and should have been listen.

After greetings by Mrs. Wiber and
Mrs. Coy, the minutes of last meeting
were read, and the story of the last
year told. The reports of work done
during the past year by both Home and
Foreign Societies was most gratifying.
A duett by Mildred Rub and jeanette
Curtis was very sweetly rendered, and
messages from missionaries in foreign
lands received with great interest, fol.
lowed by prayer by Mrs. Wight.
The quiet hour was in charge of Mrs.
Coy, after which the session closed for
the noon hour.
The afternoon session was opened
by a responsive reading, followed by
prayer by Mrs. Montieth, Mrs. Cochrane
again singing a sacred song. The chief
features of the afternoon were" Echoes
from Siam," by Mrs. f. Z. Kelsey, of
Cass City, whose son is In the work in

vice, led by j II. RheiDgans, the visit
ors were given royal welcome to Y ale
in neat little speech by Mrsl Rhein-
gans, which was responded to by Mrs.
w. M. Hanley, of Marlette.

lprayer by Mrs. Il. w. Montieth, of Port
| Huron.

by devotional service led by Mrs. j

talk on "Children's Work." by Miss
Florence Park, of Adrian, Synodica
Secretary. Miss Mary Lucock, of De
troit, secretary for Westminster Guile
outlined the work Of the Guild Chap
ter and Circle, which was very inter
esting to the young people in attend
ance.
Next came the address, "Go Forward
and Possess the land" by Mrs. ID. Il
Wiber. The speaker dealt mainly will
conditions, needs and oppOrtunitie,
for service among the peoples of Cubs
and Porto Rico. Mrs. Wiber is OPTIC
mistic, enthusiastic and inspiring. Sb,
is Field Secretary of Home Missions
and has visited all the mission stations
of which she gives such vivid descrip
tlons. She therefore knows whereof
she speaks"
After the hymn, "The Morning Ligh
is Breaking" Mrs. Mitchell told of {
visit to Dorland Institute at Hot
Springs, N. q. This is a mission schoo
for the children of the Mountain
Whites" Miss Emily Sidebotham
whose father was former pastor oi
the church in Yale, is teacher in this
school, and the women of Flint Pres
bytery have for the past twelve year:
paid for scholarship there
The duett by Frances Andreae and
Marion Learmont, was most pleasing
after which came the election of officers

by Mrs. j. X. Mitchell. The afternoon
session closed with the singing OF
"America" and bepediction by the pas.
tor, Rev. j. III. Rheingans
