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.” STATHAM PERSONALS.
