lures of the whole convention was
the inspiring presence of Sister
Elizabeth of St. Johns parish, Char
lesion. She told the story of the
growth Of the deaconess work, from

own years Of service.
On Saturday night the program
was opened with a colorful pageant
from the pen Of Mrs. Kreps. "Called
to the Colors' was the name of this
beautiful Offering. The church, the
world, truth, Righteousness, saliva
ton, capital, labor and various other
things were impersonated. The dia-
logues were interspersed with spirited
hymns. The tableau at the end when
the Christian flag foated with the
Stars ard Stripes over the heads Of
the participants, most beautiful ef-
feet was achieved and made a fitting
finale. This pageant was planned to
instruct through the eye as we'll as
the ear and surely carried the les
son home.

talk by Mrs. Stirewalt, the recently
returned missionary from Japan. In
her quiet way she gave vivid pictures

country sides and ended by holding
up to view a small idol begging that
Christ be sent to them instead.
