Methodist Women and the Centenary

M SIX any Methodist what the most
 A\ important activity is today in
 that church and the answer will promptly come:
 The Centenary
 Men. women and children are lending their energies toward the fulhliment of this great Methodist movement which will be initiated on Sunday, May IS. and to which the great leaders of
 Methodism all over America are giving their prayers and talents.
 At every meeting in every Methodist church these days it matters not what ubject is under discussion. the meet ing devotes itself for d space of time to d word for "The Centenary" and to this end the work of the women in the church is proving of tremendous impor- taEce.
 Mrs. George D. Reynolds, president of the Woman's Missionary society of the Highlands Methodist church, and one of the most earnest and ardent church. women in the membership of that church, talked interestingly yesterday of the part the women will have in the
 success of the centenary movement. Apropos of the district meeting of tae Womans Missionary societies WI oh includes the societies of all the hAs -hodist churches in this immediate dS5trict, which convenes at the First >venue and Fifty-fourth Street Method ist church, Woodlawn, today, she said: "The two days meeting of the Wom ans Missionary societies will make place in it's programme of course,s for the centenary movement. On Wednes la tnrr o,a ha second day of the session, a luncheon will be the occasion for word in be- half of the centenary.
 The main expression, of course, for the district meetings of our missionary societies is to touch the individual and to create inspiration among the mem bers. Analysing this in comparison with the North Alabama conference. we find that the conference touches the mis- sionary societies as societies-collect- ively, as it were-while these district
 meetings are purely individual. At the meeting at Woodlawn, Mrs.
 Reynolds continued we are to have
 two very interesting speakers, Mrs. G.
 c. Nunn, returned missionary from China, ard a woman of beautiful char
 acter and wide experience in the for
 eign mission field, and Mrs. Tsiang, a
 native Chinese, who has done splendid
 work in the missionary field; she is
 what is known as Bible teacher mis-
 sionary' and will bring great mes sage to us. She and Mrs. Nunn are both
 qualified to inspire and encourage us tremendously.
 The missionary work and centenary work are synonymous Mrs. Reynolds said, "and to my mind there arises the threefold mission in the centenary movement; first, the raising of s35,000.- 000 second, the prayful life-consecra- tion-and third, 800 active volunteers
