PA&E F6t71t . -I liiJ pJU. w Mil ABT vifft . THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HEaTFORD, N- C, FRIDAT jujnj; zd, i . A IffftT Oil FdlEflDS CONFEfiM By Mrs. L. J. Winslow For tfte benefit of members of the North Carolina Yearly meeting from this area who did not attend the Conference, and for others who might be interested, I write this account. The Woman's Missionary Union of Friends in America held its twen tieth general conference at Guilford College June 2 to 6, with officials and representatives from Maine to Cali fornia. The Eleven Yearly meetings sending delegates were: New York, New England, Baltimore, Indiana, Wilmington, Ohio, Western, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, California and North Carolina. The setting for the occasion was ideal. At this time of the year the Guilford College campus is at its best in colorful array, with its giant mag nolia blossoms, varigated roses, beds and borders of larkspur, blooming geraniums, etc. The weather was somewhat hot, but there was plenty of breeze. And the eats well, with our rationing books and extra coffee and sugar, the daily meals were adequate and sufficient, and numerous teas were thrown in for good measure. The fellowship, messages of song, word and deeds, gave abundant spirit ual food. The first session of the conference included welcome addresses by Mrs. Ruth Buttel, president of N. C. W. M. U., and. Mrs. Angelina Wood, presi dent of New Garden W. M. U., both of Guilford College. Amy J. Marvel, of Richmond, Ind., .National president, in her gracious and courageous manner, announced the conference theme, "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord. Make flis Paths Straight." Mark 1:9, and gave the opening address. It is impossible to write of all of the good things by all of the good people on the daily programs, so I will attempt only to touch some of the high spots. Dorothy Pittman, for 14 years missionary to Western Indiana, now editor of the "Missionary Advocate," spoke of the delights of being the first to see and analyze the fresh reports and the dependence of any paper upon the reports of its various correspondents. After she had fin ished her verbal report she said "any one wishing a fuller and written re port could get it by sending 75c to the editor." Since our Study Book the past year has been Latin America, Merle Davis, executive secretary of Friends Board of Missions, presented techni color pictures of Mexico and Cuba. May Jenson, of Eau Claire, Wis., Education honor roll leader, mention ed as a special reader Marian Kelsey, now of Rami Allah, Palestine. She said the increasing vigor of the books selected for the reading list was a compliment to the intelligence of the readers. Dean Beittel of Guilford College, spoke forcefully on "Highways of the King in 1". S. A.," and based his thought on Isaiah 40. He told of our lack of National unity, of the un equal distribution of wealth, of in justice to small minorities, of race discrimination, and warned against danger from dissentions within. He said a nation can withstand an enemy from without, it is the inner enemy that destroys it. Dr. Ruth' Hull Bennett, of Ohio, former Missionary to India, had with her a large collection of saria, and around them she wove a stoi y of the lives of the women of India. With one of these, a gorgeous crimson, one and one-half yards wide by six yards long, she showed the conference how to make of the one piece of cloth a skirt, waist, head covering, veil a lovely pair of loose trousers, or a blanket. Then she draped on living models eight other types and colors. Mildred Volow, of Indianapolis, Ind., in the Junior and Primary work, emphasized the close relation of adult conduct with childhood impressions, and so stressed the importance of teaching children to respect the ideas and customs of other nations and races. For example, the Chinese in vented printing and they read up and down, while we read sideways it is we who are backward. Representing the United Council of church Women, Anita Kelsey Douglas of Detroit, Mich., told of the work done among the uprooted citi zens of Detroit. Four hundred churches of the city cooperate with the USO in this work. Gracia Booth's address "Extend ing a Helping Hand to our Japanese American Neighbors," led her hearers into the souls and spirit of these people. The Friends Church of Cin cinnati is sponsoring this movement in the hostel of 28 at the present. Edward and Violet Linton and Ar thur and Westine Shufelt are inter esting young people who are working in Tennessee and Oklahoma and do ing what they can to turn the In dian trails into a Highway of the King. Jennie Collister, secretary of the Home Missions Council, with interest and enthusiasm, used blackboards and explained the migrant work. First by Inter-church agencies, through the development of migrant problems and how solved. She said in Arkan sas 60,000 migrants are needed for strawberries. In one county in California 40.000 acres of potatoes, hence the need of a large number of migrants. Florida has 30,000 bean farms which draw the Mexicans and Bahamans. Last she showed the development of the Council program for migrants; and now in 19 states a year-around and varied program is provided for the whole migrant family. Ministers in trailers with their families go from place to place to help them. She said sing the migrant hymn, "Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life and Thirst of Them." A most enjoyable feature of the entire delegation to Springfield Meeting, near High Point, where on that quiet hilltop overlooking the field of seven springs a meeting was first held in 1773. They got out their old "photograph album" and showed us pictures of loyal ancestors of whom the present members are direct descendants. Pictures of five little girls were shown from the al bum, who after 70 years are still ac tive members. These "girls" were asked to stand and the twins, Ada and Emma Blair, were that day cele brating their birthday anniversary, so all sang "Happy Birthday, Dear New ifope TowftsMp in Perqtiimahs County, and the personal prdperty conveyed in the aforesaid deed of trust, and therein described as fol lows: First Tract.
