The combined women's groups of the second Congregational Church raised $2,371.48 of which S1 257 was given to worthy causes in this coun- try, state, city and church and S53 sent abroad for Christian mission ary work. Mrs. John c. Walker re- ported at the annual meeting yes- terday.
 Part of Mrs. Walkers annual re- port follows:
 ''The foreign missionary commit
 tee was so successful in raising money that it had enough left over after regular apportionments were filled, to send an extra $50 for war relief to China.
 An innovation which has added to the interest and enjoyment of the meetings of the Women's assoc iation has been the forming of an entertainment committee which has provided music.
 Our flower committee, under the invaluable leadership of Miss Kirk has arranged for flowers on Sundays in the church and for the sick and shut-ins and for special occasions Mrs. Judd's artistic talent has full sway at Christmas and the fall re- ception.
 "The Girl Scout troop has been up to capacity of 24 members and besides their regular scouting and campaigning they have produced play for the Sunday School and made tours of many of the factories. Our library committee has added some new books and has encouraged greater circulation of books for bet ter reading by having them brought in on the traymobile at each meet ing.
 Another new group formed was the membership committee whose special job it was to invite new church members to join the Wo- mems association.
 The publicity committee was also among the new arrivals on the list of committees with Mrs. Webster in charge. '
 The church aid and social service department is full of good works, for they are the housekeeperS of our church and see to all the replace ment of broken dishes, faded cur tains and torn choir robes.
 When it comes to the evening de- partment. it is hard to choose which peaks from whole mountain range to single out for mention. Every ap- peal for help that comes to their notice is generously met whether it be for our own church, this city, this country or the world at large. And they put so much vim and vigor into the efforts to raise this money that | their enthusiasm is contagious"
