$12,644.13. The balance on hand was
$131.50. Pennsylvania sent to Roston
headquarters through this society ?",
542.71; through other channels, $:i,2S0.5S.
The corresponding secretary, Mrs. M.
H, Trevor, Is a lady past 80 years or
n go. She was not present, but her re
port, beautiful In Us diction and sunny
In Its outlook, was read by one of tho
youngest workers. Miss Grace Jones, of
Philadelphia.
Mrs. T. S. Scott, of Philadelphia,
chairman of the state expense
furd, read an entertaining paper
on "Our Duty to the Treasury,"
one of the brightest features of the
afternoon.
Mrs. Iftitger Ijox, president of the
Philadelphia Associated society, de
scribed the work and the needs of Has
seltlnp House arid the Home for Mis
sionaries' children, both of which are
located at Newton, Mass., the former

Mrs. Harriet Newell Jones, of
Philadelphia, tho accomplished and
brlllinii't general secretary, gave
a delightful report. She declared
that from this valley despite the
ravages of strikes, flood and smallpox,
the contributions to the cause had not
fallen off. The report was brightened
by many characteristic quotations from
the letters written by secretaries giving
Inner glimpses of the various conditions
of life In our great state.
TALKS BY MISSIONAItlKS.
Mrs. Lister sang "O Jesus Thou Art
Standing," most pleasingly, after which
Miss A. Kate Goddnrd, of Ningpo,
China, gave an address telling of her
work. Miss Goddard is a very young
woman to have had so much experience
In the foreign field, but she began It
early, Indeed, for she was born in Ning
po, her parents being missionaries. For
the past three years she hus been a
worker, a trained teacher In that city.
Miss Henrietta Morgan, a Penn
sylvania girl, who has recently
returned from work In Assam,
gave a fascinating address. This
portion of the missionary field Is
little known. At present the Baptists
occupy It nlmost exclusively. Het de
scription of the hill people and their
superstitions were most Interesting, and
she concluded with the most vivid
picture of an earthquake through which
she passed,
Mrs. H. N, JoneH presided at tho
evening session, Prof, J. Alfred Pen
nington presided ut the organ, Miss
Ida Green, of Lewlston, read the Scrip
ture lesson, nud Miss Louise Doersaiii
offered prayer.
Miss Henrietta Morgan spoke on the
needs of the girls In Assam. She said
the degradation among tho girls and
women Is dreadful. They are often
married at 6 years of age, and when
ten go to llvo with their husbands.
They need workers and teachers In that
field.
Miss Goddard followed In "An Ap
peal from the Girls In China." Her de
scription of the pain which the girls
endure from feet-blndlng and the utter
bondage In which they live was
graphic. This was the appeal from tho
heathen girls. Another nppeal was
from the Christian natives, who In
school learn what girls In other lands
enjoy. They tiro reaching out to the
freedom which girls In Christian coun
tries enjoy.
Mrs. Albert Hatcher Smith, wlfo of
the pastor of the North Main Avenue
Baptist church, sung "Come Unto Me,"
She hus 11 powerful mezzo voice, which
shows much cultivation.
MRS. TUSTIN'S ADDIUCSS,
Mrs. M. P. Tustln made a charming
response to these appeals In "Our
Daughters at Home," and Mltss Grace
Juno Jones, of Philadelphia, gave a
pretty recitation, "If You Were a
Further Lights' Mite Box." The
"Farther Lights" are tho young wo
men who in the missionary societies are
sending the lights farther out into the
darkness. All tlie hymns sung lust
night wern on this theme.
Mrs. Lucy Wnterbury, of Boston, the
SOME FOOLISH PEOPLE

home secretary, made tho address bf
the evening, on "Woman and tho King
dom." Mrs. Waterbury said she Was at
the annual meeting fourteen years ago
In this very church. She gave a brlt
llant address, which omphasleed the
necessity tho home workers should feel
In sustaining those across the world In
the foreign field.
"The closing word" was most fitting
ly spoken by Rev. Dr. Pierce, tho pas
tor of the church. Tho sessions will
close this nftf moon.
