"In our committees and in the clubs
some time will be given to the study
of the work of the Worlds committee
of the Young Women's Christian as
ISOLATION in other lands. No girl has
realized all the Bible means until she
has watched the expansion of the
Kingdom in other lands. In our own
country the work with foreign-born-
the extending of protection and help
to bewildered strangers-is an out
reach of the missionary spirit.
Publicity-Mrs. Walter Flieth, Oh.
"This committee is responsible for
local publicity concerning our regular
work, and special occasions. They are
studying the publicity helps from the
field Office and natieRal headquarters
and are planning from time to time
to secure films for association events,
and to publish bulletins giving a re-
view of local work and a resume of
the national work so that the MEM
bership shall catch vision Of what
the bigger organization of which we
are a part is doing.
EducatiOn-Mrs. II. w. Jones, Oh.
This committee has not actively
promoted classes as yet and it's per-
sonnet has not been completed. Clas-
SEES in Home-making, Citizenship, Ma

ISOLATION. The Girls Work committee
looks after the young girls between
the ages of II and IS. This movement
is known as the Girl Reserves and it
aims to give girls through natural ac-
tivities the habits, insights, and ideals
which will make them responsible wo-
men, capable and ready to help make
America more true to its best hopes
and traditions. The young girl is the
reserve force. of the association and

Service Mrs. F. 0. Croker, Oh.

I'VE as Christian organization will
fall far short of our ideal if we do rot
render service to the community.
Most OF our service activities thus far
have been carried out through the
clubs, and centered largely around the
Christmas season. The older girls
sent toys to the Federated charities
for boxes, Grade school girls packed
boxes for the Children's Infirmary, the
High School Service committee distri-
buted posters for the Mount View sa-
natorium. Older girls formed a carol
band and sang old traditional carols
on Christmas eve for an hour and
half in below zerow weather to peo-
pie who could not get out to Christ
mas services, and to the patients at
the Wausau hospital.
"We do not aim to let the spirit of
service spend itself with the passing
of the Christmas season. The younger
girls are working on Scrapbooks and
quilts for the Infirmary: the older
girls are planning some pieces of SER
vice for the community through the
council. At the association building
there are many opportunities for SER
vice. People have come for informa-
ton of various sorts; two people have
been helped to find rooms; seven have
been given employment help; twenty
people have received Travellers Aid.
This committee is planning a piece
of work that will be of vital interest
to the girl away from home and of
lasting service to the community.
With the aid Of a special worker from
National Headquarters in New York,
who will be here sometime in Feb
ruary, this committee will establish
Rooms Registry Bureau which will
keep an accurate list of available
rooms in the town, endeavor to secure
closer cooperation and better under
standing between the housekeeper and
the applicant, and create a sympa-
thetic attitude on the part of the pub
lie toward the girl who has to live
away from home
'"The above report of activities for
the past two months, and a forecast
of the work to be accomplished only
partially and rather imperfectly repre-
sents what the association stands for.
Creation of friendly spirit, develop
ment of Christian character are mat
tiers of growth, and growth is not
visible process, reducible to statistics.
All we are doing and all we are plan
ming to do, we do in the name of Him
who came that we might have life,
and have it more abundantly'
