MRS. McKIBBEN
Reads Paper to Local Auxiliary For
eign Missionary Society.
At the request of the members of
the Winder Auxiliary Foreign
Missionary Society we give below a
paper read by Mrs. McKibben at the
last meeting'of the auxiliary. Mrs.
McKibben said:
“What is the true measure of
' success of the auxiliary? The good
that results from the successful
auxiliary is wide-spread and far
reaching. My mind fails to com
perhend the extent of its influence,
and I, therefore, find it difficult to
give an expression of the true
measure of its success. The in
fluence and benefit extends not only
to heathen countries but it is feft
in our own hearts and live,'and I
think when we, as lm-mbers of the
Foreign Missionary Society, realize
this ennobling influence in our
hearts and a burning desire that the
gospel of Jesus Christ he spread
throughout the world, that is one
measure of its success. The best
and only means for promoting this
success, is that not only the officers
should be ready and willing to per
form their speciel duties, but that
each member should realize that
she has a part to do in order to
make the auxiliary a success. Be
sides paying monthly dues,2s cents
incidentals and some contribution
to our extension fund, she should
remember that it is just as impor
tant to attend the monthly meetings
promptly, and he ready for anything
that will promote the interest of the
meeting. The regular time and
place of the monthly meetingshould
be fully understood by all the mem
bers so as to insure a prompt attend
ance always.
We must make our monthly pro
grams attractive instructive and in
teresting. Every member who
can should take the Woman’s Mis
sionary Advocate to be an intelli
gent, earnest worker. We must
read and study the Advocate to ac
complish much for the cause of
missions. Knowledge gives impe
tus. Praying for our missionaries
and for our members one by one,
and for our woman’s work is a sol
emn trust committed to you and
me. We must not say prayers, but
pray them for results. In an earn
est, quiet, tactful way we should
work to get the uninterested wo
men in our church interested in
mission work. We should invite
them to our monthly meetings,
which should he made so full of in
formation and instruction and,
above all, so spiritual, that all will
feel that much has been gained by
attending them. New fields are
opening, fresh opportunities multi
plying, and to keep up the mission
ary spirit may require some self
denial, but giving up a comfort,
keeping our promises at some cost,
for a higlier good is a sure measure
of spiritual increase, and if the
members are imbued with this
spirit of self-denial it cannot fail to
promate a successful auxiliary.”
