Field Missionary Secretary Delivered Interesting Lecture.

Mrs. J. P. Engstrom, field secretary of the Board of Home and Foreign Missions, was the guest of honor at the reception given by the Ladies’ Missionary Society of the Presbyterion church the home of Mrs. C. W. Hanley Tuesday afternoon. The Methodist Home Missionary Society, after their adjournment at the home of Mrs. Leslie Clark, attended in a body. Mrs. Engstrom gave a very entertaining and helpful lecture on the part which women have taken in the work of spreading Christ’s kingdom. She also gave a splendid talk on the reason for missions, at the Presbyterian churph in the evening, convincing all who heard her of the necessity of helping to obey the Lord’s last command, “to give the gospel to every creature,” if they would enjoy the fullest Christian experience. A collection was taken which amounted to sl3; this in addition to what had been collected in the missionary society made S3O for the “Jubilee Offering.”
