of missionary enthusiasm and calls the church to it's most daring venture oc faith and conservation"
 Many people ventured the opinion, Mrs. Lipscomb continued, that it was an irrational movement, a ridiculous dream that so much money had been gwen for war activities, the various welfare or ganiza tions and everything else and that it would be foolish to try to raise the tremendous sum of 0,000. But, let me tell you how mistaken these people were. It seems as if the war has taught us how to give and when to give, and in in- stead of missionary contributions during the war being reduced, they were more generous than ever, ana our work has been more successful, financially, than at any time in the history of the church.
 Which brings me to say that the Womans Missionary council is in the 'askings' during the centenary movement, but we are not functionng it as a socie- ty By that I mean we will be given

1A II O more charming or cultured won-
 UNl an has ever visited Birmingham ~ than Mrs. B. W. Lipscomb. home base secretary of the Womans Mission ary council of the Methodist Episcopal church. south, who is here attending the meeting of the Woman's Missionary so- ciety of the North Alabama conference.
 Mrs. Lipscomb makes her home in Nashville, but only by adoption, for she is a native Mississippian, having lived in Jackson during her girlhood, and her early married life.
 Her husband, Dr. George Lipscomb roted Methodist divine, was native of Columbus, Miss, and his family is asso- ciated with Methodism for generations
 back.
 Mrs. Lpscomb's lovely face and gentle manner. her softly modulated voice that passing sweet enchantment in a woman, makes her an ideal representative of that
 part of womans work in the church which requires the highest type of wom- anhood Christian character and deep spiritual devotion.
 Mrs Lipscombs interest in missions ex- tends far and wide, even into far-away
 China, where her lovely daughter, Olive Lipscomb, for four years has given her life to missionary work in Soo-ChoW. Mrs. Lipscomb is beloved by all who know her, and the cordial reception she
 has received in Birmingham is but a sim pie testimonial of the high regard in which she is held; her appearance be- fore the Womans Missionary society yesterday at the initial meeting was an : inspiration and an encouragement of tremendous value to the many hundred delegates who sat within the sound of her voice and heard the wonderful mes sage she delivered so eloquently. For few moments between the morn ing and afternoon session of the confer ence 1t was my pleasure 10 renew a most delightful friendship with Mrs. Lips comb, begun far back in the old sweet days in Mississippi and 1 gathered in the short time allotted to me a few fundamen. tai ideas in regard to the work of the Womans Missionary council and also n- teresting data regarding the great cen tenary movement in southern Methodism. "It was a thrilling and historic hour when the last general conference of our church. after pausing in it's business for an hour of prayer, gave it's unanimous Endorsement to the centenary movement" said Mrs. Lipscomb. This action repre- sented the high water mark, so to speak
