first day OF the session.
The Memorial and Petitions pre-
scented by the women were referrrd tn
the proper committees, and later
reached the body for action. All the
requests Of the Woman's Missionary
Council were granted. The Memorial

From the beginning it was evident
that a very large majority of the body

committee was informed that some
sharp opposition to the form Of the
Memrial had developed in the COM
mittee on revivals, to which It had
been referred.
On May 13 the Memorial came be-
fore the house and after less than 80
minutes debate, was passed by an ov
erwhelming majority, despite the fact
that rider" involving the Const:'
tuition of the Board of Missions. had
been attached to it by the committee.
When the chair announced that the
measure was adopted, the enthusiasm
was so great that the men rose from
their seats and tourned to the women
in the galleries, waved hands and
handkerchiefs, and cheered with hear
ty, sympathetic approval.
The following morning in a formal
paper the College of Bishops declared
that the admittance of women to the
councils of the church was consti

decided by even two-thirds vote OF

7 The women of the Council believe
that Gods time has come for woman
to assume her full responsibility in
the church. They realize that it

on the part of the friends Of the

Owe must not let this talk of peace
affect in the slightest this coming great
united war work campaign. Even if
peace were to come tomorrow, which it
will not. the need for the magnificent
work Of the seven organizations who
have Joined together in this campaign
would be quite as vital and in some
ways more vital than it is to-day.
"On the assumption that peace is close
at hand let us consider for a moment
the situation that will develope, First of
all at least two million of our boys win
be overseas in land that is not their
home land. 1t viii not be possible to
transport these boys in less than a
years time Time will hang heavily on
their hands because their daily task of
fighting in the field will be over. Dis
cipine will naturally fall Of consider
ably. These boys at such critical time
must be surrounded by good influences
such as the seven organizations can ere
ate for them. They must have their
wholesome entertainment, their clean
gathering places, their substitutes for
home. They must have the companionship
Of these splendid men and women of the
seven organizations who stand for the
proper kind of companionship.

we cannot directly administer TO them.

workers strive to make him content

"These boys have offered their all for
us. If occasion demands it we should
gladly give them all we possess,
