her words. She held up the moth

modern mothers; told how few
members were engaged in the
work, and how by a little sacrifice
many could do so, as the work
was not always carried on by the
rich, how love of pleasure, dress
pride, etc., ha’d obstructed the
rapid progress of the work.
Secretary, Mrs. Rogers, made
the statistical report, she told of
the origin of the work, and how in

little Perry Auxilary had ' lived
through the 23 years, although Ha-
first officers had gone to their re?
ward, all but Sister Hook, who
still lives and still holds place of
Treasurer, how it raised about
$50.00 last year with only 20
members, how in both our Wo
mans’ Societies, Home and For
eign, only about a third of
women are at work.

On last Saturday evening a few
of Miss Susie Martin’s friends
our
Miss Besgse Houser gave a reci
tation, a touching picture of the
heathen without Christ, told liow
we might by dur indifference, de
prive some of that Heaven, which
we lookiorward to with so 'much
interest; it was followed by a
bright spirited seng “Send The
Light.” \.
Mrs. Frank Cater gave in her
clear deliberate style, a. leaflet
“Miss Rebecca’s Auxiliary,” it
showed how the missionary work
will develop' hidden talents, in
our women, how it increases their
zeal, and stirs th ( eir energy go
that they are fitted for every de
partment of church work.
In conclusion the whole congre
gation joined in that grand, old
hymn “The Kingdom|is Coming.”
So passed a pleasant and profita
ble evening. H.
were delightfully entertained at
Mrs. L. F. Cater’s pleasant home.
Miss Martin and several others
present have the gifts of r the mu
ses aud we were all transported by
the sweet music and idspirihg
readings so perfectly renderod.
We deeply regret that the hon
ored guest is so soon to leave for
a new home, but we congratulate
those whose rich gam will be our
loss.
Each guest, on entering the
hall, was served with refreshing
punch and the corner from which
it was served, with its roses and
pot plants proved the most at
tractive spot during the even
ing.
Just before the hour for depar r
ture arrived delicious cre.am^ and
cake were served by Miss Nona
Cooper, little Misses Helen and
Caroline Cater and Cater Ro
gers.
It is not permitted us to re
main long in the realms, of the
Gods so we were brought back to
earth by the warning stroke of the
clock and hasten to express our
thanks and reach our hbriaes be
fore the midnight hour should be
upon us. A Fortunate.
