The pleasant new chapel of tho First Daptlst chinch on Elmlra street was already well filled when the delegates from tho north arrived. The arrange ments are very complete for tho con venience of the guests, rooms for bag gage, registration, tables for station cry, etc., and a postofllce are In tho rooms adjolnng tho auditorium. The stage was beautiful with palms and chrysanthemums. The opening service was led by Miss Sara Carson, of New York, who Is a worker In the Chrlstodora house, a settlement on Fourteenth street. Her theme was. "We Would See Jesus." The solos by Miss McCarthy, of Wlll lamsport, added much to the meeting. Miss Babcock, stato secretary of New York, gave a Bible talk, which was full of helpful suggestions, and was fol lowed by a season of earnest p,-ayer. It was evident that If tit" opening ses sion was a prophecy of the whole con vention, It was to be one of our best. At the business session Mrs. L. M. Gates was elected for presiding officer of the convention, with Mrs. E. M. Gray, of Wllllamsport, as vice-president. Mrs. AV. T. Hnckett, of Scran ton, was chosen for secretary but de clined, and Miss Ida Shafer, of Read ing, was elected. These officers are the officers of the convention to serve during this session. The registration shows a largo dele gation already In. Mrs. Dr. Cheyney has charge of the assignment of dele gates and the entertainment arrange ments are admirable. The session closed Thursday afternoon with nn "ac quaintance meeting," when a social spirit prevailed and old friends met nnd new ones were Introduced, and all felt ut home, from the oldest associa tion to the "baby" ones Just organ ized, who had never been to a con vention before. MISS PRICE'S ADDRESS. The first evening session address was given by Miss Elllo K. Price, ono of the American secretaries. she Is probably ono of tho most popular speakers In the whole association. Her attractive appearance, earnest face and magnetic voice appeal to tho nudl enco at once. Then, her addresses are full of thought, couched In elegant language. Sho Is ii rapid speaker, but with a dear enunciation, so that sho Is al ways heard In large audiences nnd fi llowed with Interest to the end. Hoc address Thursday evening was on th elu'ient department of tho Young Wo men's Christian association of Amer lea, which embraces SOS college asso ciations In which aro 16,000 young wo men. Four secretaries are employed In this Held by the American com mittee, two spending their full time In the student work and the other two usslstlng ns called. Besides these national workers for tho student department, twelve statu secretaries In eighteen stato as sociation, representing nineteen states, are spending much of their time and giving much thought to the work for college young women. Thveo summer conferences nro held, at A.ibo vlllo for tho southern states; at Lake Geneva for the western states, nnd at Northfleld for tho eastern section. At AshevlllQ last summer 140 youns women from colleges wero In nttend nncc, forty of them being teachers. At Geneva, 340 young women from 112 colleges. Of tho CIO women present at Northfleld, 45u wero from colleges' rep resenting Bovcnty-llvo colleges of the cast. Many of these nro under graduates, who return to give the In spiration to their colleges and to cany it nway with them into the active du ties of life. An important part of tho Colt ecu association is tho missionary depart ment, which Is now tcnycars old nnd is known as the "Student Volunteer Movement" and Is controlled by rep resentatives of tho Young Men's nnd Young Women's Christian association. In 1S97 students gave $40,000 to for eign missions. Over 3.C00 students are studying mission fields in mission study classes of tho associations. Hut they give moro than their money and their time they give themselves. Ono thou sand, threo hundred nnd sixty-six stu dent volunteers nre? now In foreign fields In fifty-three different stations, under forty-eight denominational soci eties. Four years ago was organized In Sweden the World's Student Christian federation, uniting In one world-wide organization eleven nntlonal associa tions, consisting of 1,212 Individual as sociations and embracing 55,000 Chris tian students throughout the world. On Nov. 12 a universal day of prayer Is hold, In which all these nations Join Japan, China, India, Ceylon, South Afrlcn, France, Netherlands, Great Britain, United Slate and Canada. Mlsa Price closed her address with a review of methods of Young Women's Christian association work In college, carryi-g a student from her home through the first lonesome dnys, helped by Young Women's Christian associa tion to learn the ropes, made to feel at home, the opening reception, the first prayer meeting, the Bible study and mission meeting, tho state convention nnd summer conference, till she went back home trained for active service In church and community. Sho spoke of the temptations ot col lego women to intellectual nrlde, ne glect of Bible and prayer, social ab sorption. Sabbath-breaking and unwise friendships, and made a strong plea for college Girls to make Christ first In everything. MRS. GATES' ADDRESS. At today's session of the convention Mrs. L. M. Gates, of Scranton, chair man of the state executive committee of tho Y'oung Women's Christian asso ciation, read her annual report. It was as follows: oooooooooooooooooooooooo imBBBlBtl ' 1 THE WOMAN'SS of fr" i SHOE 8 & S? With a 8 Cftv 'To"1 Reputation. Q 8 Sw.. vJ RharVlo- -X,3 Q nlcase women will find in the " Rasf.I'ki.t " shoes tho mnnv nolnts of uood taste Q never seen in cheaper ones nnd the g perfect fit and style she lias here- Q O toforc sought in other shoes. Q Lewis, Reilly & Davies, Phone J45J- lU-"6 Wyoming Ay OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Since tho last convention In Pittsburg In January, the state executive com mittee have hold eleven meetings. They have Issued the annual report and the leaflet on "Responsibility of the Local Association in Support of State Work," as ordered by the convention. The monthly meetings have been of great interest, because of the full reports of the state secretary, the letters from the non-resident members and news from associations. It is always cheer ing when we hear, as we often do, of tha good results of the state conven tion and of the helpfulness ot the prayer calendar. The chairman's note-hook shows for six months during tho last year sev enty letters, aside from sending out of affiliated memberships, reports, etc., nnd convention months would show larger numbers. One of the state com mittee acted as leader of the Pennsyl vania delegation nt Northfleld. In the college department we nre glnd to note some encouraging facts. With better times In our country comes In creased attendance In schools gener ally. This gives a larger field for Chris tian effort and brings greater respon sibility for the Young Women's Chris tian association. Mnny associations are meeting this situation with renewed zeal and renort increase of member ship. In most of the associations there is creater system and more care In de tails, and that this Is not labor wasted or undue use of machinery Is evident from tho fact that the associations mpst systematic and business-like in their methods nre nlso blessed with most spiritual results. DIFFERENCE IS MARKED. Tho state secretary in her visits, ns well ns the stato committee in the re ports from associations, sees marked difference in those that sent delegates to Northfleld. We also notice that those that regularly attend the state conventions are most successful. One college president stated that the at tendance of their students at our con vention last year was worth more than weeks of study to the delegates and tho Institution. It Is it source of grati fication to see this spirit of commeidu tlon in the faculties, for It is a great help to the association to have tho hearty endoisemcnt and co-operation of the teachers. We believe It Is equally a source of benefit to the school and community to have a live Y'oung Women's Christian association In their midst. We would like to make a plea for a llttlo lcs crowding of studies, that students may havo time for religious work nnd per sonal acquaintance, for, as President Schurmnn savs, "Half the education of a college consists In that which "stu dents give one to another." Our edu cation Is not all In books, or even from teachers. It Is character building we want, and that conies from our own thinking nnd doing, and especially from our thoughtful doing for others, not self, under the blessing of God. One new College nssoelatlon has been or ganized, Beaver college, at Beaver. It Is beautiful to think that all these hundreds of young women In the col leges of our state are banded together In this Christian sisteihond. There H scarcely an hour In the day when some college Young Women's Christian as sociation Is not lifting Its united prayer to the Father and sending out Its thoughts for the young women of the world. In some there Is the early morning prayer service, In others the noon prayer meeting, In many the af ternoon Bible classes; almost every evening aome association meeting In class-room, society hall or teachers' parlor. Some associations have a ves per service, and others a good-night prayer meeting In the girls' rooms. Surely God will answer this volume of prayer and bless this earnest Bible searching, coupled as It Is with con secrated personal effort. WORK IN THE CITIES. No less Interesting Is the work in the cities. AVo now have ten city associa tions; one new ono was organized this year at Myerstown. The educational features of the association continue to hold an important place, and tho In dustrial classes grow more popular. Tha liberal gifts of Interested ladles for the equipment of rooms for domes tic science Is highly commendable, and the determination to give scientific In struction In theso Important branches a laudable ambition ot the association. We hopo the timo will soon corao when all can do so. An encouraging advance has been mailo In tho Increased Interest In tho girls' branch. The Importance of spe cial effort for our young girls can not be overestimated, nnd wo are glad to see that time and thought are being given to this matter. Over f.00 mem bers nro reported In tho girls' branches. Last year wo reported one associa tion settled, In its own building; tlilb year wo are ablo to tell of another In Its own home, where Increased room gives opportunity for greater work and 1 iileasunter Quarters add to tho interest mimJm VAlf 1W Wl, I flu 1 4 All ---... i IJl. fnnifiolinrl Mrs. Alice Terry Wood, 515 High land Street, Helena, Mont., writes: "I can say to all that I believe Paine's Celery Compound a great medicine. I should' have been in my grave if it hadn t been tor tnat, and I can say to all that are tired and run down to try it and they will find relief at once. "My trouble was general weakness, with no strength or appetite, and heart trouble. I have taken four bottles of it and feel like a new person. Now I have a good appetite, do all of my work, and feel well." Paine's Celery Compound will reinforce weakened and irri tated nerves, Nerve fibre is made and nerve force in creased. The liver, stomach and kidneys are kept in healthy action, The blood is made full of nourishment, The body does not suffar exhaustion or wearing pains, but is constantly sustained in strength and vigor, In their association. Other associations havo enlarged, not by adding to the main building, but by opening auxil iary branches In distant parts of the city. Three associations now have such suburban brnnches and one ot theso has threo branches. Wo want to emphasize the great Im portance of the cordial support of nil tho associations in the carrying on of the state work, either by the systemate giving plan, by annual offering, by funds taken from the treasury, or by the proportionate giving recniiimonded by the convention last year. Most of our college associations raised their amount last year and will no doubt do moro this year. Wo realizo that the city associations have heavy local expenses, but expeot that by the small sifts ot many mem bers or by the generous offerings -nt kind friends they may be able to do their share In tho united work.ot tho state. Tho work In smaller towns Is receiv ing attention, and we shall follow with our prayers all such efforts.
