Woman's Society of Christian Service
To Be Organized in September
The Woman’s Missionary Socie
ty of the Methodist Church met for
the last time August 5. It was ad
journed with the words, “The Wo
man’s Missionary Society stands
adjourned, to meet in September
as the Woman’s Society of Chrisfc*
ian Service of the Methodist
Church.” These words made past
history of the name but the spirit
of the organization marches on. It
will never be past history.
“We are moving into a new
house with larger rooms of serv
ice. We will carry into it all the
thrill and joy that a new modern
house brings to any woman. We
will take into it all those things
that make the new house a joyous
place to serve God.”
The organization meeting will
be known as the Charter meeting
and all societies organized before
the conference organization will
be known as Charter Societies.
Following the organization of the
Society in the local churches the
Conference meeting will be called
for the purpose of organizing the
Conference Society of
Service. The newly elected presi
dent or her alternate will be of
ficial delegate to the Conference
meeting.
The pastor of the Methodist
Church will appoint a study com
mittee to consider plans for the
organization, to discuss the num
ber and type of meetings the new
society will hold each month and
take any necessary steps prior to
the organization meeting. He will
appoint a nominating committee,
who will study the “Guide” and
be prepared to nominate the of
ficers at the charter meeting of
the Society. He also will appoint a
publicity committee who will se
cure a list of the women members
of the church and see that each of
them is invited to the
meeting.
There will no longer be super
intendents of departments, but
they will be called vice-presidents
or secretaries as the Society choos
es. To the roster of officers has
been added a Secretary of Student
Work, whose duty will be to keep
in touch with young people of the
local church who are in college,
and to see that the names of the
young people are sent to the Sec-

The work of the secretaries of
both Missionary Education and
Christian Social Relations and Lo
cal Church Activities are greatly
broadened. The program has been
much broadened, especially in the
field of Christian Social Relations.
The secretary of Christian Rela
tions and Local Church Activities
is in charge of all work that re
lates itself to the local church, civ
ic, community and world condi
tions. The Society through this de
partment now has the privilege of
sharing in all local church activi
ties. There is no need for a local
treasurer, as there is to be one
budget made up for the funds for
missions, for Christian Social Re
lations work and for local church
activities.
The “Guide’’ outlines the duties
of the officers. The program ma
terial will be presented in two
booklets: one containing the twelve
worship services and the other
material for twelve talks on other
types of programs. The program
book follows the line of thought
of our recent programs in the Mis
sionary Society and is called “In
vesting Our Heritage.”
The “World Outlook” magazine
becomes the missionary organ of
the Methodist Church. Every wo
man is urged to become a sub
scriber. “The Methodist Woman”
will be the official organ of the
Woman’s Society of Christian Ser
vice. This magazine will contain
in its September number, the pro
j gram and the ritual of the organ
ization meeting.
A greatly strengthened and en
larged measure of the same won
derful spirit leads us along a new
road. We go forward, joyfully and
meet the new day with gladness
and enthusiasm. We know that
“We are a heap of possibilities
coming from the past, a mass of
influence for the future. The con
tinuous chain of good and evil
knows no break except as we de
stroy the latter and strengthen the
former. The immortal influence of
example knows no interruption.
The past is linked to the present;
the future is prepared in the now."
A thrilling, challenging oppor
tunity is before us. May God help
us all to' accept the challenge.
