the Methodist church, and the evening
meeting in the Summerlln Institute
auditorium. On Thursday morning,

of "Fifty Years of Woman's Work,"
brief reports of what the various
LuiDDtuu uuitrug are aoing were given

Episcopal, Associate Reformed Presbyterian
and Methodist Churches. Thursday
afternoon "An Adequate Missionary
Policy" was discussed under the heads
of (1) Organization; (2) Information;
(3) Enlargement; (4) Gifts, and (6)
Prayer.
At the evening meeting "A Message
from the King" was delivered by the
pastors of the town, consisting of Scripture
verses read in turn and emphasizing
the great commission: "Go ye into
ill the world and preach the Gospel to
every creature." "The Story of the
Jubilee" was told by Mrs. Curtis, of
Orlando, and a hymn sung, when Mrs.
Bliss, a missionary of the Congregational
Board to the South Sea islands, delivered
the principal address of the
evening. Another feature was a missionary
exercise, entitled "Missions in
Dreamland," depicted in costume.
Foung ladles, attired in the garb of the
nations, they represented, represented
the claims and pitiful appeals of the
ilexican, Malaysian, Chinese. High Caste
Hindu, Hindu Widow, Child Widow of

largest benefit from the enthusiasm
iroiised by these meetings. This was

Ject of millions from actual experience.
In such a light that those who heard her
were made to see the awful degradation
of the heathen world as never before,
and to realize the burden of responsibility
resting upon each Individual
Christian for the evangelization of "the
regions beyond." It was a great privilege
to have this cultured and devoted
servant of the Master with us, and her
influence, no doubt, will be far-reaching
in its effects.
As a practical result of the Jubilee it
was resolved that members of each
missionary society should canvass their
own congregation and endeavor to enroll
every woman in the church. At the
conclusicn of this canvass a union reception
by the present members will be
given to the new members, and it is
further proposed to hold annually a
union meeting of all the missionary so- .
cieties in the town. It being the aim of
the Missionary Societies of America to
raise One million dollars ns n thnnlr
offering for the Jubilee; the Bartow
societies will contribute their quota.
