Tarrant.
! Mrs. Nellie Mirandi of Columbia,
president of the Travellers Aid and
assistant superintendent of Social
Morality made a short talk at this
time.
Two very important and instruc-
tive addresses were made on the
health question, which were splendid
adjuncts to the report Of Mrs. w. NJ.
Waters on Child Welfare. Miss Eliz-
abeth Rohrback of Columbia, repre-
senting the Bureau of Child Hygiene
of the State Board of Health, spoke
very intelligently on the Sheppard
Towner bill and how it is working in
our state, and how we may cooperate.
She was followed by Miss Ruth

was MATERNITY and Infant Mortali-

Saturday Evening.
Before the regular program began
on Saturday evening DR.. E. Paul
Knots, health officer for 'Newberry
county, made talk on the progress
{ of medical science.
The devotions were in charge of
Rev. E. D. Kerr, D. D., pastor of the
Presbyterian church. The program
was arranged as young peoples night
by Mrs. Leon Holley, secretary of
the Young Peoples Branch. On re-
quest of number of the delegates
, Mrs Mirandi was given more times at
this evening service and spoke more
fully on the work of the Travellers
Aid, and gave incidents showing the
continued need of the work. Mrs. Mi
randi is very forceful speaker and
carries enthusiasm to her hearers,
creating an interest for the subject
she is discussing.
Mrs. Maude B.. Perkins of Sycs;
cuse, New York, was expected at this
evening hour, but the train was de-
layed,, and the audience was in an ex-
,, pectant mood for more than an hour,
not knowing just what minute Mrs.
Perkins would walk into the chruch.
Mrs. Holley, who had charge of the
, program was the one upon whom the
burden rested, or it would have been
burden to most people, but to her
it was an opportunity of which she
herself was wholly unconscious and
during the hour of suspense, she held
{, the audience with miscellaneous, and
unexpected features and music, and
talked herself most appropriately
and charmingly on the sentence "Fol-
low the Gleam." The hour was passed
} before one could realize it, and Mrs.
Holley was congratulated on doing
: one of the most difficult accomplish
; ments which anyone has to expert
} ence, to entertain and soothe an ex-
: pectant congregation who has come
to hear a distinguished speaker. Mrs.
Holley is very young and pretty and
many people wondered how she had
the ability to bear the strain. On in
vestigation it was discovered that
Mrs. Holley had been educated in the
Nashville Training School for mis-
sionaries and Christian workers Of
:. the M. E. Church South, and had
served in the big position of deacon
ess in the Southern Methodist church.
