ABSOLUTELY. PURE
HOME MISSIONARY SOCIETY
Women of the Wyoming District
Rally at Tunkhannock.
AX INTERESTING CONVENTION
Notwithstanding .the Uowllng Tempests
of March the Delegates Were Cheer
ful and Smiling as Hoses it June.
.The Day's Programme.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Tunkhannock, March 14. A fine body
of representative women of the Wyom
ing district rallied to the Women's
Home Missionary convention at the
Methodist Episcopal church toduy, de
spite a keen March wind which pierced
like a stiletto. Their hearts were evi
dently In the noble cause they repre
sent, and 'they were us cheerful and
smiling us though the June roses were
blooming Instead of un Icy blast com
ing down from the' northwest thut made
nuses red nnd cheeks blue.
The programme was followed closely
as laid down, and every feuture of It
was enjoyuble. The greeting by Mrs.
F. P. Avery and the response by Mrs.
Knapp; the singing by Misses Sarah
Atherton, Katie and Myrtle Vose was
very favorably commented on, us ulso
were the recitations by Misses Cullle
Klntner and Amanda Frey. Miss Cum-
nilngs, superintendent of the Industrial
school at Wllkes-Barre, talked on
"Deaconness' Work," and related
something of her own personal experi
ence, which was very Interesting. Mrs.
W. M. H liter's paper on "Women In
Home Missionary Work," Mrs. J. B.
Sumner's on "Alaska," and Mrs. W. H.
feurce's "Our Work In the Confer
ence, were all most excellent efforts.
especially the latter, which received
many compliments. But the crowning
effort of the day was the paper by Mrs.
JJr. Fearce, who has recently returned
from a trip through the South. She
spoke of the Industrial homes for col
ored and poor white people, which have
been established at Jacksonville, Fla.,
and In Texas. She said: "King Home
is the only provision made by our
church to furnish Industrial and do
mestic training for the girls of the
'black belt' of Texas, which, within
a radius of 100 miles of Marshall, con
tains 250,000 population. In Wiley Uni
versity they are receiving Intellectual
culture, while they sadly need the In
dustrial. By association of the Institu
tions they hope to secure the harmoni
ous development of character which Is
essential to success In life. That the
negro Is to be the future educator of
his race no unbiased mind will deny."
She pictured the squarlor of the life
of the colored family, and then eald:
"Yet, sitting In darkness as they do,
these colored mothers have a dim pro
phetic sense of light somewhere, and
they send their children, to our schools,
hoping they may find what the mothers
have not found." The society Is also
doing mission work In Alaska and
among the Xavaja Indians.
Resolutions Adopted.
Mrs. Summer, Mrs. Peurce and Miss
Cummlngs were committee on resolu
tions and presented the following,
which wore adopted: Resolved, That
In order to more perfectly spread the
knowledge of our work, we make a
special effort to secure a larger circula
tion of our paper, Woman's Home Mis
sions, which has been retained at the
low price of 25 cents, with the Deacon
ness at Work added.
Resolved, That we tender to the la
dles of Tunkhannock our thanks for
the royal way In which they welcomed
and entertained this convention, and
to the pastor and his wife for their
generous hospitality; to the young la
dies who have so delightfully enter
tained and Instructed us with their es
says, songs and recitations.
Resolved, That the district meetings
are a great uplift to us In our work, and
that we would suggest that we hold at
least two meetings a year.
The officers elected were: President,
Mrs. Dale: recording swretnry, Mrs.
Peck; corresponding secretary, Mrs.
Sumner; treasurer. Mrs. Brooks.
Nine Months In Bed. Cured In 21 Hours.
T. J. Blaokmore. of Haller A Black-
moro, Pittsburg, Pa., says: "A short
tlmo since I procured a bottle of 'MYSTIO
Cl'ilR. It got me out of the house In
twenty-four hours. I took to my bed with
Rheumatism nine months ao and the
'.MYSTIC CURE' Is the only medicine that
did me any good, t had five of the bMt
