at all times. To the girls and their
beloved leader, Miss Mary Collins, of
Muncie, Indiana, assisted by Miss
Moss, Miss Anderson and DR.. and Mrs.
Bancroft, is owed debt of gratitude
for helping to visualize for the girls
the missionary work and its needs by
means of demonstrations and dramati-
cation during the entire week.
These were given in native costumes
and settings and required much effort
and no little thought.
One great feature of the school was
presented by Miss Mary Collins on
Sunday evening, who presented the
service flag, showing the names of six
young women who had received inspi-
ration from Camp Clean in years past
and who are now serving in different
fields, both home and foreign, as fol-
lows: Miss Sara Nay, Mississippi;
Miss Nellie Davis Hancock, India.
Miss Hancock, who is now home Oh
furlough, was in the school and
brought inspiration to those attending
Miss Florence Harper, who has been
stationed in Mexico; Miss Esther Van
tine, Algiers; Miss Grace Davis, Chi
ma; Miss Laura Williams, India.
Miss Williams, who made decision
this year to become missionary, fol-
lowing additional preparation for the
work. So each year the work is grow
ing and calling more young girls into
the Masters service.
Place of Meeting.
The tabernacle in which the school
was held, was fairly we'll Transformed
from a barren room to a place of at
Effectiveness and absorbing interest by
the many curios and articles brought
from mission fields, including many
examples of hand-work done by pupils
in the schools. Beautiful art and
hand-work from China and India were
also on sale.
The literature tables showing pub
locations from several denominations
were in charge of Mrs. Arthur C. Day
and her niece, of Baltimore, and they
all were we'll patronized.
1t was interesting to note that the
purchases were not confined to indi-
vidual denominations, but selections
were made from every table by the
buyers, which is proof evident that
missionary women are "all one in
Christ Jesus"
Officers Deserve Credit.
In giving a general resume Of such
a far-reaching institution as this
school has become, it is very difficult
to give credit to all who have helped
to make it possible, but we cannot
close without paying tribute to the
untiring efforts of the local chair
man, Mrs. Benz. H. Sincell, of Oak
land; the assistant chairman, Miss
Mollie Hamill, of Mountain Lake
Park; the secretary, Miss Emma
Hamill, Mt. Lake Park, and treasurer,
Mrs. j. L. Stratton, of New Castle,
Pa.
1t requires money as we'll as leader
ship to conduct a school of missions,
and these officers were responsible for
raising the necessary amount to
finance the undertaking and for adj
vertising it so that there would be an
enrolment of members sufficient 10
justify the expenditure.
1t took faith and vision to put such
a big venture across, but "they build
ed even better than they knew" and
at the close Of this, one of the most
successful years in the history of the
Mountain Lake Park School of Mis-
sions, they are looking forward TO
even greater achievements in the year
1929, with Mrs. Johnson serving again
as general chairman.
