MISSIONARY CONVENTION. The Women's Foreign Missionary Socie ty of Clarion Presbytery Met in Brookville. The twenty-ninth annual meeting of the Women's Foivitfn Missionary Soci ety of Clarion Presbytery was the occasion of a large ' (fathering of ladles at Brookville on May 30th and 31st. The beautiful new church was decorat ed for our reception and the homes gave hospitable welcome to about seventy five delegates and officers, and a goodly number of visitors. The devotional service led by Mrs. Conway was helpful. Attention was called to the responsibility of the church as a whole, every local church, and every member of church to evangelize the world. i Mrs. K. B. Toitrick gracefully ' ex tended to the members of convention a cordial greeting, which was fitly re sponded to by the presiding officer, . Mrs. S. A. Cornelius. Wednesday's popular session was presided over by the pastor of the convention church, Dr. Conway. The speaker of the evening needed not an introduction to any body of people in Clarion Presbytery, Dr. Hunter Corbett. This address was a powerful one and to look into his face was to believe "There.is no joy like the joy of winning souls." His closing plea was : ''allow me to toll the Chinese you love them and are praying for them." The prayer service conducted by Mrs. A. D. McKay, of Reynoldsville, brought us very near to the feet of Christ and inspired us with the desire to conform our lives to His will, to make them a song of joy no matter what the burden, what the grief. The roll call of auxiliaries' bands and C. E.'s was responded to with Scripture verses. The treasurer, Mrs. Hlndman, gave the receipts for the year $2,703.30. The treasurer's report may seem to gome to be made up of dry facts but how much of sacrifice is sometimes hidden by these cold flgureB, sacrifice that is pleasing to our Master. The reports ;that were brought in by the different secretaries were encouraging. A vote was taken in reference to joint conventions and was carried. A con : ference on Y. P. S. C. E. work conduct ' ed by Mrs. Richards, of Oil City, was . followed by the noon tide prayer led by Mrs. N. P. Wheeler. The thank offer ing service brought into the treasury $416.17. Greetings from the M. E., Baptist and United Presbyterian ladies' societies of Brookville were extended through Mrs. Truman, Mrs. Underwood and MrB. Galbraith and all voiced the senti ment of oneness in Christ in our efforts to evangelize the world. Mrs. Cornelius reported the Biennial Meeting at Harrisburg and expressed . her gratitude to the ladies of the Pres bytery for being made their representa tive. The question box was conducted by Mrs.'R. L. Buzard. Mrs. Gault, of Africa, told us of the people of her station, among whom she has labored for twenty-three years, and gave to us three special objects of prayer. The popular session of Thursday was presided over by Rev. J. V. Bell, assisted by Rev. Van Horn. 1 The address by Rev. France, of La bore, India, was an able one. He held the large audience in close attention as he gave us the history of the institutes of learning in India in one of which he has taught for three years. The ruusio throughout the sessions was good. Miss Jenks was the faithful and efficient pianist. Delightful solos Elastic Paint. Paint must . be elastic I it must give and take with the shrinking and swelling of the wood and with the swaying of the building. If it is not elastic it soon . looks seamy, cracks and breaks away, un able to protect the surface which it is sup. posed to cover. The most elastic paint is Pure White Lead and Pure Linseed Oil. It is so elas tic, in fact, that a piece of soft white pine so painted may be struck sufficiently hard wilh a hammer to make a good-sized dent, without cracking the paint at all. Try it with a paint composed of zinc. barytes, etc, and see what happens. I ' i r . . Jt' wuiLn rciuaes m give unoer the tap of the hammer, will also refuse to ex pand and contract with the wood under the action of the tun, the tain and the snow.
