The following accomplished and interesting speak ers were In attendance and made ad dresses that vere helpful, instruct ing and entertaining. Miss Mary K Applewhite, the State Secretary of the Young Woman's Auxiliary, former resident of Scotland Neck. was among the speakers. She spoke on ioung Woman's Missionary Ambitions," and also, on "Young Woman's Auxiliary of North Caro ina." The addresses of Miss Applewhite were intensely practical and helpful, inspiring tne young women to more earnest and zealous work and to greater achievements. Her talk on Young Woman's Auxiliary was especially interesting the same being illustrated by charts worked out by objects illustrative of the Young Woman's Work. The numerous friends and admirers of Miss Apple white spoke most flatteringly of her .efforts. . ADDRESS BY MRS. HIGHT C. MOORE. One of the most helpful addresses, showing great originality of thought and careful preparation, was the address of Mrs. Hight C.

Miss Briggs is the foremost leader of children's work in the State. She is a genius in her work and is possessed of rare and exceptional ability in securing the apt attention of children and her work along this line has been marked with great suc cess. She made a strong plea for the enlistment of children in the great missionary work. In her lecture on "Uganda" she illustrated effectively with charts and objects which show ed a thorough knowledge of her sub ject. Her lecture to the children was one of the strong feature of the meeting and many spoke of it as the genius stroke of the Institute. The children were greatly pleased and benefitted. ADDRESS BY MISS FANNIE HECK. The real leader in the Woman's Missionary work in the South is Miss Fannie Heck, of Raleigh, N. C. She is at tne neau ui mm u" the work of the Southern Baptist Convention, and her efforts have been crowned with marked success. Miss Heck is a trained speaker, a consecrated Christam woman who gives liberally of her time and means to this work which has enlisted , her whole heart and effort. She spoke on "Woman's Mission ary Opportunity," "The Challenge of the City, ""State Missions." Miss Heck was the real central figure of the meeting and her addresses were all gems of excellence.nd especially helpful and instructive, but many spoke in especially high praise of the what they called the master address of the Institute, "The Challenge of the City." It was purely ethical and philosophical and was convincing and inspiring to her hearers. Miss Heck is a woman of miich dignity, grace and ease and earnest consecration and her efforts here will bring-forth good fruit. The meeting was closed by an able and comprehensive ad uress on Friday night by Dr. Wm. H. Smith, of Richmond, Va., Editor ial Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board, who spoke to a congrega uu" -i uuui men ar.u women on "Some Things we all Should Know This address was greatly enjoyed by all. lhe delegates were royally enter tained and spoke in highly compli- mentory terms of the great hospital lty of the eood ladies of Scotland Neck, than whom there are no purer, nobler or better. lhe following were among the delegates in attendance: Mrs. E.
