May I thus publicly express my sin

the many hundreds of cards of greet

These expressions of confidence, af

heart to overflowing, and 1 thank you
most heartily for them.
As many of them are signed by
Auxiliaries and Circles instead of in

hWMKN'S WORK.
(Continued from page 7)
It was conceded ly not necessary to
have i he missionaries in one water
tight compartment and the Japanese
in another; and manifestly better that
they should plan their program to
gether instead of planning it separ
ately and then trying to piece it to
gether. A Council of One Hundred
was finally decided upon, and a com
mittee on organization appointed to
formulate a plan and submit it to the
missions and churches during the coin
ing year. The outcome will show
whether the desired reorganization
is practicable.
THK MASS A X KTTA ( < )\ FKKKNCKS
The opening of the Massanetta
Springs property by the Synod of Vii
ginia as its summer assembly ground*
for the promotion of Hible study aiu'i
church work marks an epoch in th"
history of Presbyterian activities in
this State, especially in the line of
Christian education. Dr. W. W.
.Moore, in his sermon at the dedica
tion of the new auditorium, spoke at
large of the educational methods pre
scribed by Moses, dwelling especially
on the educational value of the three
great annual Israel itisii Festivals,
when the people gathered at Jeru
salem from every quarter of the coun
try, when the mountaineer from 1 >:i n
in the North and the shepherd from
iSeer-Sheba in the South, and the
farmer from Sharon and the vine
dresser from Judaea all met together
in Jerusalem to worship God and to
learn more fully His will. The recre
ational value of these pilgrimages was
pointed out, affording as they did a
refreshing change in tlie monotony
of their agricultural lives; the social
and political value of them also in
shaking together the too clanish units
of Israel and developing a sense of
national solidarity, and it was shown
that the Massanctta Conferences
would be similarly promotive of
health and of a proper Synodical
esprit de corps I v bringing together
,iv ?ry year the Presbyterians of Vir
ginia from N'?"rn:k to Winchester,
lro: e Accomack to Radford, from !>al
tinior- to Danv:l!e, from Fredericks
burg to Covington, and giving them i
(h.ince to know each other.
Hut the great end of the ancient
assemblies at Jerusalem was religious
and educational. The different com
panies of pedestrians sang together as
they marched the pilgrim psalms that
are still preserved in our I'salter
( I 'slums 120-1:54). ami on arrival at
Jerusalem tliev all mingled in the
great assemblies lor instruction and
worship. Certainly the spirit of song
prevails thus far at Massanetta. The
managers seem to have t?een ex
ceptionally fortunate in their leader,
Mr. Chiystal Hrown, who has a line
voire and a happy disposition and
who seems free from the offensive
egotism and irreverence which car
acterize the song leaders that some
of our summer assemblies are at
times afflicted with. Certainly the
note of Christian Kducation was the
note that sounded clear and strong
at Massanetta from the beginning,
not only in l)r. Moore's dedication
sermon on Wednesday, but in both of
lus sermons in I lie auditorium on the
following Sunday, in Coventor Trin
kle's address, in the addresses of Dr.
McKaden ami Professor Massey. in
the speech) 's of the visiting college
presidents of other denominations,
and in the quite unusual after-dinner
speeches at the joint, banquet of the
1 * 11 ion Seminary and I laiiiptlcn-Sidney
College alumni. l)ne of the veterans
present said those were the best af
ter-dinner speeches ho had e\er
heard. The same note was struck in
the admirable remarks of the various
presiding otlicers. Dr. 15. F. Wilson
and Hr. P. M. Wood son Union Semi
nary Day and Dr. A. M. Fraser and
Dr. II. W. McLaughlin on Hampden
Sidney Day. Dr. Wilson, referring to
the remarkable development of Union
Seminary in recent years attributed
it chiefly to the teaching power of its
faculty and the policy of its board in
keeping the institution strictly up to
date in all its methods and tlior
oughly modernized in all its depart
ments. Our people are beginning to
realize what a great institution they
have at Richmond. The splendid
service of I lampden-Sidney College in
the past, and after a period of de
pression, the flourishing conditions of
l lie present, resulting from its three
years of full control by the Synod,
were fully brought out.
The comfort and convenience of
everything at Massanetta and the ex
cellence of the fare are in sharp con
trast with the conditions that most
summer assemblies have had to con
tend with at the outset. The substan
tial brick hotel in perfect repair, the
well furnished rooms with their con
venient baths, the excellent dining
room furniture and table ware, the
spacious halls and wide verandas, all
afford the most comfortable arrange
ments we have ever seen at any suin
mer assembly encampment; and how
the management can furnish such
fare as they do at the rates they
charge is a mystery. The Kxecutive
Committee and the active chairman,
l>r. Hudson, and the general propri
etor and manager, Mr. I, Upton, are to
In- congratulated on the line start
they have made.

delicacy of its existence without silent
prayer. ? K. \V. Farrar.
One thing that made so good the
