MISSIONARY WORK
THEME OF TALK
BY MRS. KENYON

My Impressions Of Missionary
Work in the Far East" was the topic
discussed by Mrs. Fred Kenyon at
yesterdays meeting Of the Presby-
terian Missionary society held in
the church.
Mrs. Kenyon'S talk was based on
her experiences and observations
made in her recent trip around the
world and was centered in the coun-
tries OF China, Japan and India.
Her talk proved Of great interest
10 the women and in it she ex
pressed her feeling of the wonderful
work done by the missionaries, not
only in bringing enlightenment in
a religious way but also in regard
to problems of education, industry,
health and sanitation.
She pointed out that while many
people claim they are opposed to
missionary work since they feel the
religions of the various countries
are adequate for their peoples. she
felt that when a traveller sees the
result of these religions, particular
ly in India where the degradation
and misery are caused by the re
ligion, the realization for the need
of Christian religion is apparent at
once.
Mrs. Irving T. Raab led the de-
votional period during which Mrs.
Don Rex and Mrs. Earl Trey were
heard in a beautiful vocal number.
An invitation was read from the
Presbyterian guild to the mission
ary society, inviting that group TO
hold { joint luncheon on January
8. This invitation was accepted and
the missionary society will supply
the program.
The women enjoyed a pot luck
luncheon at noon, Mrs. H. w. Witt
and Mrs. Gerald Shaw being hos
teSSeS.
One of the highlights Of the af-
ternoon was the fine exhibit OF
needlework, bronZeS and wood cary /,
ing which Mrs. Kenyon displayed.
A large number Of guests as well
as the society members attended /
both the luncheon and program.
