gram was in charge of Dr. R. C. Anderson,
who told us about the management
of Montreat, and introduced
ub to members of every department?
board of trustees, hotel management,
hotel clerks, dining-room girls, manager
of buildings, watchmen, gatekeepers,
et<5.
The entertainment was a kind of
"appreciation" of Montreat and what
it does. Dr. Hill spoke of the oft
asked question, "Does it pay?" of
course Montreat does not pay its stockholders
any money dividends, but it is
paying the larger dividends of physical,
mental, social, and spiritual development
of the many who come.
Many opinions of Montreat were
repeated. One visitor says that she
has traveled all over the world and
nowhere has she found a place where
one can get as much for one's money
as at Montreat. Another, that nowhere
does one meet so many inter
eating people as at Montreat. One
minister writes to Dr. Lingle, after a
visit to Montreat, that he has only two
regrets about the visit: one, that he
had ever wasted any time anywhere
else which might have been spent
here, and the other, that when he did
get to Montreat he was forced to
leave so soon.
One of the very interesting features
of the program was a Montreat song,
written by one of the dining-room
girls, and sung by them all.
At the end of the evening Dr. Anderson
spoke of the need of welltrained.
Christian teachers everywhere,
and gave us a kind of vikion of the
possibilities of a school which might
be established here for the winter
months, as there would be no expense
ior tne piani except tne up-keep.
Many people have criticized the
management on account of the gate
fees, but when we realize these tremendous
grounds, the buildings, and
power plant must be kept up. and
that the greatest speakers of our. and
other churches, are brought here for
us. we begin to see another side of
the question. To show how carefully
the finances are planned. Dr. Anderson
told us that summer before last
the gate receipts were $250 short, and
last summer $250 in advance of the
THE PBESBYTERIA
expenses, thus balancing exactly for
the two years.

Conference. Dr. J. L. Mauzc, of St.
Louis, Mo., preached the morning sermon;
Dr. C. E. Raynall, of Statesville,
N. C., the evening sermon. Two
thoughts stand out strongly in our
memories of the day. First, from Dr.
Mauze' that America is not reaching
all her own people, and is especially
negligent of the immigrants, that her
nation is not really a Christian nation,
and that this fact is one of the things
which the heathen holds up against
the missionary's work. The second
thought, one from Dr. Raynall, ann
one which should go hand in hand
with the first, is that it is the duty of
Christian America to lead the lower
races?and Europe?not only to the
plane which we have reached, but that
we must help them to reach a still
higher plane.
A great connecting link bet ween Die
Home and Foreign Mission Conferences
was the Mission Pageant presented
August 9th by Miss Carrie Lee
Campbell. Columbia appeared as the
central figure, and girls dressed in the
costumes of the many immigrants who
have come to our shores, begged that
they might be given Christ in America,
saying that they would be able to
carry him back to their people better
than a foreigner. It taught a great
and wonderful lesson of our duty to
the aliens who are coming to us?two
every minute, day and night.
The auditorium was filled, and all
were enthusiastic in their praise.
The Foreign Missionary Conference
was opened by Mr. Albert Sidney
Johnston in an address on Tuesday,
August 10th. Mr. Johnston spoke first
of the unspeakable need in the mission
work, second of our stewardship,
and lastly of the foundation work of
prayer.
The morning meetings were given
up to the ladies. Among those speaking
were Miss Edith Houston of Cuba,
Miss Janet Houston of Mexico, Mrs.
Hardie and Mrs. Rodrigues of Brazil,
Mrs. Monroe of Japan, Mrs. Nesbit and
Miss Ella Graham of Korea. Mrs. J.
R. Graham, and Miss Annie Wilson of
China, and Mrs. Mott Martin of Africa.
Among the men speaking at the
evening meetings were Dr. J. R. Graham
of China, Mr. Nesbit of Korea,
Mr. Monroe and Mr Myers of Japan,
and Mr. Hardie of Brazil.
Missionary moving pictures of China,
Japan and Korea proved a new and
interesting feature of one evening
meeting.
It was the privilege of a large audience
to hear Dr. George Hudson speak
from his chair one morning. Dr. Hudson,
formally of China, is well known
luruuguuui me <jnurcn as a wonaerluJ
example of one who has been transferred
from the field to the ministry
of suffering. This appeal was one of
the strongest and the most touching
of the whole Conference. He.spoke of
God's will concerning the salvation of
the world. The fault is certainly not
with God, nor with the plan of salvation,
nor yet with the endowment
which God has given to the Church,
therefore the fault must be with us.
There are twenty foreign missionaries
on the grounds this week.
Miss Ella Graham left Montreat th's
weeK, returning to Korea for the second
time.
On August 10th a missionary luncheon
was given in honor of the returned
missionaries, and attended by
nearly 100 ladies. There were the
usual songs and toasts. A song,
written by Miss Carrie I^ee Campbell,
is published at the request of many
who heard it, that the young people
of the Church may know more of the
work. (See first page.)

A VISIT TO OHARIjKH TOWN AND <1
STEPHENSON SEMINARY. d
Charles Town is noted for many a
things. It is a town of some four thou "
sand people, whose culture and refine- "
ment are spoken of in the highest 11
terms. To Presbyterians, it is noted
as the place where the sainted Dr. A. "
C. Hopkins was pastor fcr nearly fifty ?
years. But Charles Town is beginning *1
to be known for its educational advan- a
tages, and especially as the seat of 11
Stephenson Seminary, which is doing a a
most excellent work for young ladies a'
in all the branches of educational a
work. w
The private school and the seminary c'
for girls will always find a place, not- ^
withstanding the vast strides made by S1
the public schools. Parents want a P
school where distinctively Christian in- h
fluence will be exerted. In a visit
made to this seminary recently, the P
writer was much impressed by the opportunity
offered to young ladies for
an all-round education and by the high
tone of Christian character and cul- h
ture and refinement found in the Semi- al
nary. p
The location of the Seminary is al- ti
most ideal. It has ample grounds, a h
beautiful lawn. The buildings are n
comfortable, large, well adapted to o;
educational purposes. Modern con- ci
veniences are manifest throughout. 0
The Seminary was established many n
years ago, to give an education to al
girls in the most approved principles. s<

t was especially desired to have a
hristian school. To imbue the pupils
ith the principles of the Christian
aligion, and to bring them under the
lfluence of its teachings, have been
mud to be compatible with the highst
intellectual training in this Semlary.
Stephenson Seminary is now In Its
lirty-third year. It was begun by
:cv. Dr. C. N. Campbell. It is now. in
liarge of Mrs. Camnbell ami ??
aughter, assisted by competent teachrs.
Since the deatli of Dr. Campbell,"
ioso have carried on most successully
this work, and that they have
ucceeded, one needs only to call atjntion
to the fact that the past sesion
was one of the most successful in
s history. Stephenson Seminary is
ot only a most desirable institution
ur educating our girls, but it is at
le same time a desirable home where
iris may bo placed by parents with
:ie conscious assurance that their
aughters will have the minimum of
anger and evils in connection with
n absense from home, but at the same
me a maximum of advantage and

le Seminary in all of its departments,
