Widow Of Former Bishop of South Da-
kota Speaks Twice on Work
Here at Horne In
America
FIND PLENTY OF WORK
One Address at st. Johns Church and
Another at Church of ST. Mary
the Virgin, Afternoon
and Evening.

Mrs. Edna Beller, wife of the late
Bishop Beller, missionary bishop OF
South Dakota, was guest of the wo-
men of St Johns Episcopal church
yesterday. She spoke az a well attend
ed meeting in the parish house yester-
day afternoon, as representative or
the general board of missions OF the
Episcopal church.
She spoke last night at O'Clock at
st. Maryis, the Virgin Episcopal
church telling in particular about the
educational features of the negro In
stitutes IN America.
Rev. w S. D. Lamont presided and
in introducing the speaker said that
she was one OF the most helpful work
ers in the church, particularly IN the
branches OF the women's auxiliaries.
Mrs Beller outlined the growth OF
the missionary work done by Episco-
pal women and said:
Until 1872. there was no definite
organized work for missions among
Episcopal women, and then there We're
only four hundred women belonging
10 the Woman's auxiliary. Today after
forty-seven years, we have $500
branches, with a membership of 2o0,-
600 women These branches work at
home and abroad
The work at home is for the In
dams, the negroes. the mountaineers,
the mill people and TO all in this coun-
try, who are without church.
Statistics show that sixty-five per
cent OF the people living in Iowa have
no connection with organized chris
tianity. Edghty-three per cent OF the
people In Missouri, seventy per cent
in Kansas. sixty-five per cent in Ne
braska and eighty-two percent in Ok
lahoma have no church relationship.
You see there Is wide field OF
opportunity for mission work right
here at home" said Mrs. Beller.
