It being the first meeting since the Annual Conference in Wilson, we were delighted and inspired by a re port of that splendid meeting given by our President, Mrs. J. W. Parker, who wras also our delegate. Our President had wisely substited "Social Service" as the subject of our program in place of the prescribed subject, as the latter was so strongly stressed at Conference. Our atten tion was called to the Social Service Congress recently held in Raleigh, and the program was strong and im pressive. After the reports of the officers, the business of the meeting was tak en up, and the following officers for the new year were elected: Mrs. J. W. Parker, President. Miss Estelle Perry, First Vice President. Mrs. J. II. Harris, Second Vice President. Mrs. W. J. Rollins, Third Vice President. Mrs. Helen Watkins .Fourth Vice President. Mrs. John King, Recording Secre tary. Mrs. Jack Smith, Corresponding Secretary. Mrs. T. W. Long .Treasurer. Mrs. H. E. Tripp, Agent Mission ary Voice. Mrs. J. H. Harris, Superintendent Press Work. A committee was appointed to vis it the sick and strangers in our com munity and also to increase our membership. We trust that this may be the most beneficial year's work of our Society, both to us as mem bers and to the community. MRS. J. H. HARRIS. ( AMI GROUND AUXILIARY.

Palmer. Mrs. R. Miss Emma Mrs. J. The members of the Foreign Mis sionary Society of the M. E. Church, South, of Hookerton, N. C, held their monthly meeting in January and elected the following officers for 1913: President, Mrs. Helen First Vice-President, Matlock. Second Vice-President, Mrs. W. E. Hocutt. Third Vice-President, Mrs. O. W. Frizelle. Recording Secretary Palmer. Corresponding Secretary, E. Albritton. Treasurer, Mrs. G. C. Edwards. Agent for Missionary Voice, Mrs. J. E. Albritton. The Week of Prayer was observed and enjoyed by all who attended. We feel this last year's work was our best so far. We are few in numbers, but have a live and interested little band of workers. The Missionary Voice is in every home except two. One of our sisters, Mrs. Ida Syli vant, died last July, three years ago, and her sister pays her dues each time. What a precious way to keep green the memory of a loved one! Several from our Society attended the Wilson Conference and returned greatly enthused over the meeting. The Bright Jewel Band is progress ing nicely under the efficient man agement of Mrs. R .J. Matlock. We have such happy little meet ings. If we could only get more in terested, but we are growing in strength and numbers and all will come right in His own good time. Let each of us try and make 1913 the best year yet. MRS. J. E. ALBRITTON. Corresponding Secretary Hookerton, N. C, Feb. 28, 1913. the Missionary Society of our sister church. All were present and inter est seemed to grow and was display ed by so large a body of missionary workers coming together. The program was short, but origi nal and interesting. The devotional service was conducted by our pasto:-. Rev. J. M. Lowder, in his quiet and impressive manner. Then there was a quartette wh osang, "How blest are they that put their trust in him," by Miss Hazell Nicholson, Professor John W. Hall, Mr. Paul Ervin, and the writer. One of the interesting features on our program was a debate. "Re solved, That the work for Orientals in America will do more to establish the Kingdom of God on earth than the work in China." Affirmative: Miss Macie Weeks and Miss Sadie Taylor. Negative: Mrs. J. R. Hatch and Mrs. John D. Hall. Dr. J. S. Nicholson, our much beloved Sunday-school superinten dent, in his manner of much ease and gracefulness, presented the decision of the judges to the audience in fa vor of the negative. Each side ac quitted themselves well, and every de bate was well prepared and beauti fully rendered and was a masterful treatment of the subject. After the close of the debate we all were invited to the dining-room, which wras beautifully decorated in Chinese colors, and all were seated on the floor in Chinese style and served a three-course luncheon with our chop-sticks. We were waited on by three little maidens, who were dressed in Oriental costumes. This presented a real Oriental picture, and for awhile we imagined ourselves in real China. We all enjoyed the "Social Ser vice." It seems to create a new spir it of co-operation, and to us a real ization of how pleasant it is for Christians to dwell together in unity and love for Jesus, who was the great social conscience and sacrifice of the world. After the conclusion of the social service, the great slogan for 1913 was sung: "A million souls for Je sus, oh, for a million souls won this year for Christ." May God help us to take home the great lesson that was portrayed in this missionary evening social and go forth more determined to discharge our duty as a missionary worker for the Lord. MRS. NETTIE DEFORD, Corresponding Secretary. MISSIOXARY ENTERTAINMENT. It was last Friday afternoon, Feb ruary 7, at the home of Mrs 7 T Woodward, that the members of our Missionary Society held its monthly Social Service." A very large at tendance was present, together with Thank you, my sister, for this ac count of your delightful missionary social. The Educational Committee of the Church Missionary Society of Eng land has appointed a woman's com mittee to advise in matters affecting women in foreign lands. At the nineteenth annual confer ence of Foreign Mission Boards of North America, in New York, Janu ary, 1912, a forward step was takon by introducing in the constitution ;i clause admitting women as delegates to the Conference. Our Woman's Board of Foreign Missions (now merged into the Board of Missions) was in advance of many other boards in the training of mis sionaries for the field. Our Scarritt Bible and Training School was estab lished in 1890. Other Boards are just now thinking of establishing training schools for their missionaries.
