THE w. H. M. S. OF THE
Methodist Episcopal church held
its Nineteenth Annual District
convention at the church in Sank
Centre, Friday, June 18th. Mrs.
N. A. Wifi, of Minneapolis, con-
ference secretary, presided and
Miss Margaret Palmer, of Scran-
ton, Pa, National field secretary,
took charge of the music. Miss
Palmer's pleasing personality and
most beautiful voice captivated the
audience at once. She was very
generous with her songs, singing
without use of printed words or
music, stressing the thought and
sentiment of her numbers rather
than the music.
The district was well-represented
by delegates and visitors from the
various auxiliaries; among the
number were Mrs. A. l.. Molander,
Vice President, and Mrs. Paul E.
Welch, of Bemidji; MRS. J. E.
Ramsey, district treasurer, Sta
pies; Mrs. Geo. B. Hanson, secre-
tary of Young Peoples Work, Mrs.
J. R. Davies and several of her
Queen Esther Girls and others
from Alexandria; Mrs. C. Robin
son, secretary of temperance, Sta
pies; Mrs. Mae Jeppeson, Park
Rapids; Mrs. Calkins, district cor
responding secretary and Mrs.
Lillian Truax, district supply Sec
rotary of Sank Centre.

which furnished the women with
suggestions enough for interesting
programs for at least the coming
Missionary year. She is "sold on

her hearers in a wonderful way.
Then followed an impressive Me-
mortal service in charge of Mrs. P.
E. Davis, of Sank Centre. The
convention was then beautifully
served at "Queen Esther Lunch
con" provided by the ladies of the
Aid Society of the church, and.
graciously presided over by Mrs.
Geo. B. Hanson, of Alexandria,
secretary of Young Peoples Work,
in the district.
The Queen Esther delegates
gave their reports followed in the
auditorium by an address "The
Queen Esther Girls in Service"
by Miss Palmer. She told the
girls, in most interesting way, of
her experience as a teacher of
music in the Francis De Paw In
dustrial School for Mexican girls
located in Los Angeles. This school
was established by the w. H. M. S.
in 1889 and is the oldest of this
type in the southwest.

presented MRS. Cass with a perpet-
