Then came the Women's hour in

Then came the Women's hour in
charge of Mrs. Secord of Alexandria.
Mrs. Trafford Jayne was the speaker
and she held the audiance for half an
hour as she outlined the program for
the "Woman's Conquest Campaign
1t was a wonderful address and in
spired and encouraged the women to
undertake the great task which lies
before them. In concluding the Wo-
mans hour, Mrs. Secord reminded the
moderator that his warning to keep
within the limits of the time given
them was unnecessary and they were
through five minutes ahead of time.
At tie close Of the at ernoon ses-
sion the delegates and visitors were
taken to the Home School for Girls
in automobiles. Mrs. Jury received
them in behalf of the school and for
nearly two hours they inspected the
work that is being done at the institu
tion. This was especially interesting
to the ministers and they expressed
themselves as amazed at the great
work that is being done.
The resolutions committee at the
evening session brought in a resoln.
tion thanking the business committee
for giving them an opportunity OF
visiting the school and commencing
the splendid work that is being done.
The evening session commenced at
z o'clock and after "a sweet devotional
servlze fby Rev. Buck, of Monticello,
. the moderator gave a report of the
National Council Ito which he was a
delegate. It is to be regretted that he
could not allow himself more time to
the subject, but he was as severe to
himself as to the other speakers and
did not trespass upon their time, but
in half an hour he took his hearers
into the very spirit Of the National
Council and IN one OF the very finest
addresses of the association, he chal-
lenged the churches to meet the call
to the tsUncomfortabls Faith. " This
address was marvel for It's range of
vision-its depth of thought and its
splendid appeal.
Rev. w. E. Griffith, Of Minneapolis,
state superintendent of southern
Minnesota who had just returned
from the National Council, added to
the moderator's message, taking up
the points which the previous speaker
could not deal with. Rev. Griffith was
never heard to better advantage.
The whole spirit Of the assembly
was one of enthusiasm and when the
final address of the meetings came
everyone was skeyed up" This adj
drss was given by Rev. Andrew Mac
Neill, of Osaks, and it had the effect
of giving real hot finish to the meet
ings. Speaking with passion and with
power, the speaker went from thought
to thought as he outlined the work OF
the church for the New Day. 1t was
a glorious finish to the splendid as.
socian gathering. One of the dele
! gates who has attended every annual
gathering for the past eleven years,
said that he was the best association
meeting he had ever attended.
The visiting delegates were en-
thusiastic over Sank Centre, its
church and its people, and remarked
on the splendid spirit which prevail
ed; they also commented on the neat
ness of the city, it's inspiring school
buildings and well kept lawns. The
members and friends of the entertain
ing church stood behind the associa-
tion meetings and nothing was left
undone to make the visit of the min
listers and delegates good one.
The choir under the dictatorship OF
Mrs. j. w. Ward added to the ses-
sions by rendering some splendid
music and the solos of Miss Grace
Iverson and Mrs. Ward were also ap-
preciated by the visitors.
The entertainment of the guests was
organized by Mrs. L. j. Irish SO very
efficiently that their coming and go
ing was hardly noticed.
The local pastor was honored by be
ing nominated for a place on the state
Board of Directors but declined the
honor in favor of another who had
served the association for longei
| | period and to whom he thought the
honor should 60. The Association viii
