The Missionary Societies
Not every one realizes the great
and wonderful work in Christianiz-
ing the world, which the missionary
societies of the Methodist Episcopal |
church, both home and foreign, are
doing. In the church in Blackfoot |
there are both organizations, of
which Mrs. Albetrson and Mrs. West |
are president and vice-president.
The home society is doing great
20
lea, their chief aim being to Chris
our shores and make good, loyal,
two branch organizations for the
young people and children They
are the Queen Esthers and Mothers
Jewels, and both branches are con-
tributing greatly to the advancement L
Of the cause.
The motto of the home society Is
to help win America for Christ.
Then the foreign society is doing a
work equally as great in sending the
gospel to those who sit in darkness
in foreign lands and are hungering
Tor the light which comes only thru
/ knowledge of Jesus Christ, who
said, go we into all the world and
preach the gospel to every creature"
The foreign society also has two
branch organizations for their young
people and children. They are the
Queen Esthers and Little Light Bear
,rs They, too, are contributing their
part financially and spiritually to
his work. Idaho should be very
proud of the fact that she has a rep

Missionary societies, we appreciate
he opportunity of placing our work
efore the public.
