SUMMER MISSIONS SCHOOL
CLOSES SUCCESSFUL YEAR

the old, will afford inspiration for
years to come.
Equally inspirational were the
daily talks of DR.. Rebecca Parish, who
gave imporsonated devotions morning
and evening, as she has used them in
her missionary work in the Philippine
Islands, where as a physician, she has
given a life Of service. She has also
established the Mary l. Johnson Hos
pital there.
Mrs. Alvin Sherbine, State Direc-
tor Of Child Welfare of the W. C. T.
u, gave talks on alcohol education,
methods and materials.
On Sunday afternoon the Commun-
ion service, conducted by DR.. J. M.
Knight, of Charleston, w. Va, was
refreshing time of quiet meditation
and prayer. Included in this service
was brief memorial service held for
Miss Ida King, valued member and
friend of the school, who died during
the past year.
The Mission study classes were con-
Quoted by Mrs. F. l. Johnson teaching
the foreign book, "Women in the
Way" and Mrs. C. E. Undertake the
Home Mission book, Homeland Har-
vest" These were both outstanding
teachers.
The school has been very fortunate in
having as the general chairman Mrs.
F. l. Johnson, who is internationally
known as a teacher and leader. She
brought evidence of her work and eX
periences that gave an outstanding
background and atmosphere TO the
program.
Mrs. Harry L. Goedke, member Of
the National Council of Women's
Church organizations, gave a splendid
message on cooperation. This subject
is uppermost in the minds of the
churches today.
The work of Camp Clean, the
junior organization, which is a most
important part of the school, will be
lasting and far reaching in its infu
ence. We covet a girl from each and
every home to come under the infu-
ence of this camp. Mrs. Irene Lovett,
of Chester, is our camp leader, as
sisted by Misses Frances and Emily
Miller, and with Miss Helen Knight at
the piano, they gave inspiration in
music.
Miss Mary Johnson, teacher or
methods, gave to the girls enthusiasm
and zeal to go forth to be workers.
Miss Ruth Juram gave many fine
ideas in program building.
The camp closed with a conservation
service under the direction of Mrs.
Lovett
Two pageants were enjoyed during
the week. One was given by DR.. Par
ish, assisted by the girls; the other by
Mrs. Paul Naylor, assisted by the choir
of the Oakland Methodist church.
A delightful social event Of the
week was tea given at the hospitabla
home of our own Dr. and Mrs. Logan
Carr. 1t was attended by nearly one
hundred members Of the School OF
Missions, Camp Clean and other
friends
