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'

will also refuse to ex
pand and contract with
the wood under the action of the tun, the

look seamy, crack and lose its hold, specify
