hership of the "West Virginia Synod
is small. In spite of this, -nose en
gaged in the campaign are meeung
with encouruging success in many
fields, and there is real promise of
the whole campaign going over. Sep
tember 26 to October 5, the workers
will be in Lewisburg and nearby points
in the county. This is a crucial test
for the campaign. The members of
the Old Stone churcn in the i?*si. tour
years have given over $140,000 to
Christian Education, while increasing
their gifts to every other benevolent
cause. A further campaign at this
time calls for superlative sacrifice. As
this campaibn is undertaken the pray
ers of the whole General Assembly
are asked, that God will honor His
name by crowning this effort with suc
cess.

YOUNG PEOPLE.

Home office. What a saving of time
and money, and oftimes, anxiety
would this be:
When these officers had given their
reports, a representative from each of
our fields was called upon for a report.
At the conclusion of his report, "Mr.
Motte Martin" expressed the gratitude
of co-workers for the brick homes be
ing supplied in the Congo by the
women of our Church. Prominent in
"Mrs. Robert Knox'a" report was the
part their new Ford has played in
helping to evangelize Korea. And,
under pressure, "Mrs. Knox" spoke
of the sacrifice of her own Betty Vir
ginia in giving the price of a new
wrist watch in an especially needy di
rection. And so on down the list.
To give variety, "Miss Lois Young,"
?>f China, recited a poem expressing
the great need of China for the Gos
pel, and the like need of Japan was
expressed in song.
As each report was finished, various
members of the Committee asked ques
tions pertinent to the work.
All in all, the whole program
showed a most comprehensive knowl
edge of the work of Foreign Missions
by our Church, and is the result of* a
two years' perusal of thia study by
the McConnellsville Society, in which
each member represents a missionary,
many of whom carry on a personal cor
respondence with those whom they
represent, supplementing the periodi
cal letters from the office at Nash
ville.
Dr. Hudson (the real one this time)
of China, <who was present, com
mented afterward and said that he
had attended several Ex-Com. meet
liigs and this program as given made
him think of the "real thing."

WOMAN'S WORK.
(Continued from page 7)
Come, friends; by the good liand
of God He will lead and strengthen
and blesa us now as then. I could
not launch out again into the deep,
If I did not believe this.
You say there are so many calls!
And there are. But that's why we
are here! To go, again, and again,
and again, and make our means work
for us where we can't go.
If you will send your heart gifts
to me, I will forward them through
our treasurer, Mr. Willis, in Nashville
to Dr. Coppedge in Mexico. Thus your
money will be working from the first.
And consider; there is no expense ac
count in this, 100 per cent goes to
Mexico. Where will a gift count
more and yield such sure returns so
soon? Do I ask too much when alt
budgets have been filled?
Shall the work stop, and the work
ers' hands be tied while we plan and
carry out a budget? Shall this equip
ment fall? Christ's followers fail!
Not while Calvary stands as our in
centive! Let those, who will, send
their gifts to Mrs. T. S. Bryan, 1216
Marion Street, Columbia, S. C.
GEORGIA SYNODICAL AUXILIARY

and 25. An interesting and helpful

credited representatives and are ex
pected to attend this meeting.

A GOOD PROGRAM.
Mrs. J. P. Kennedy, of Centreville,
Ala., opened the "Good Fellowship
Drive" by inviting to her home all
the women of the congregation. The
first part of the program showed just
how good a regular meeting of the
Woman's Auxiliary could be. Mrs.
Wm. T. Waller lead the devotional
service and Mrs. W. J. Nicholson
taught the Bible lesson, the 2nd book
of Kings, every one taking part. Then
the Missionary dimes, that make* up
the Missionary dollar, each told the
part it played in carrying on the work
of the Church. The second part of
the program was entirely social. In
order that the guests might "get to
gether" the name of a woman of fiie
Bible was pinned on the back of each
person. By getting all the informa
tion possible for any one present,
each one finally guessed her identity.
After the hostess served delightful re
freshments, the keenest interest was
taken in the "capsule drawing." If
the fun and enthusiasm accompanying
this part of the program is any indi
cation of the good results to follow,
this was just the impetus needed to
bring about the closer and happier
fellowship of the congregation.
FIjORIDA SYNODIC A I,.

WOMAN'S CONFERENCE AT
KERIlVnJLE.
The Woman's Conference' of Texas
Synodical. which convened at Kerr
ville, Texas, was the most enthusiastic
and best attended in the history of the
Westminster Encampment.

Mission book; the Foreign Mission
class, "Mexico," by Mrs. W. L. Hick
man of Texarkana, and "India," the
Junior book, with Mrs. S. J. Erwin, of
McKlnney, were great Bources of edu
cation and Inspiration, for each was
an adept in her line.
Mrs. J. L. Brock of Bryan, Synod
leal president, brought a very forceful
message on "Woman, Her Past, Pres
ent and Future," which caused the
heart of each loyal woman to respond
to the call of higher service for her
God.
Mrs. R. D. Campbell of Austin and
Dr. J. L?. Hill, of San Antonio, gave
very vivid pictures of the Mexican Ad
vance Field and of our great day of
opportunity especially for Mexican
girls.
Dr. and Mrs. J. O. Reavis of Nash
ville, in their graphic descriptions of
the Foreign Fields as observed by the
lay members, were very helpful.
Mr. J. E. Watts of Itasca, super
intendent of the Sbuthwestern Home
and School at Files Valley, touched
the hearts of all for "the dependent
children of the Church."
Rev. W. N. Sholl of Bryan, chair
man of Woman's Work In Brazos
Presbytery, brought an interesting dis
course on Sunday morning on "Wo
man" and a doctrinal sermon on
"Sanctiflcation" on Sunday evening.

ducted by Mrs. Majors of El Paso,
and "A Day's Work in the Southwest
ern Home and School," as given by
the children of the Homo, afforded in
structive entertainment for the two
evenings.
Mrs. J. H. Stephens of Ballinger,
president of Brownwood Presbyterial,
proved a most efficient hostess in the
Woman's Building. The reception
given by Brownwood Presbyterial was
a social event which was very much
enjoyed. Hikes, picnics, bathing, etc.,
were great diversions.
So profitable was this meeting that
the slogan of each woman throughout
this year will be "More women and a
larger Conference at Kerrville an
other year."

LAYMEN ANI> THEIR WORK.
(Continued from page 7)
was sounded by all the speakers, to
which the men responded strongly.
The officers of the three groups will
meet in the near future to elect of
ficers for the entire Presbytery, and
determine how often the men shall
be called together. The probable
plan will be mass meetings of each
of the three groups separately in the
spring and a general mass meeting
for the entire Presbytery in the early
fall.
MECKLENBURG PRESBYTERY
LAYMEN'S ASSOCIATION DO
ING PINE WORK.
A report has just been received
from the Laymen's Association of
Mecklenburg Presbytery of fine re
sults accomplished by their men in
the months since their organization
last November.
While some meetings conducted by
laymen have been held in all parts of
the Presbytery, most of the work has
so far been done out of Charlotte,
throughout Mecklenburg county.
Over one hundred meetings have
been conducted by groups or teams
of laymen, mostly in vacant churches,
or on Sundays when the pastor of the
church occupied was out of his pul
pit for that Sunday. One series of
evangelistic meetings in a country
church, for eight days, opening and
closing on Sunday, with eleven ser
vices in all, was held this spring.
Twenty-seven laymen took part In
these meetings, not a man of those
designated for this work falling to re
spond, except one who was providen
tially called away. Much Interest was
shown in the meetings and several
persons made profession of faith in
Christ. Three Sunday schools In
rural neighborhoods around Charlotte
have been taken over by the laymen,
and run with marked success. One
has growh since the^men took It over
in a few months from ?an attendance
of about thirty-five to as high as one
hundred and twenty-flve.
