WOMAN’S HOME MISSIONARY SOCIETY

Lafayette District Northwest Indiana Conference Holds Large and Enthusiastic Convention. Beginning at 1:30 p. m. Thursday and continuing until this Friday evening, "the iadres of the Lafayette district of the Northwest Indiana Conference have been in session here in larg numbers. The meeting is the rgular annual meeting of the Woman’s Home Missionary Society. Mrs. Daisy Kay, of Morocco, served as presiding officer. With 'but few exceptions the program as published in this paper was carried out. All of the addresses were well received. The address of Dr. A. W. Newhall, superintendent of the Jesse Lee Home in Alaska, was exceptionally interesting and instructive. Jlrs. J. W. Kittinger’s address on Gary Settlement Work was one of the very best of the meeting. Mrs. Kittinger is the corresponding secretary and her home is at South Bend. Dr. U. G. of Lafayette, made a most splendid address. After-the Thursday afternoon session the delegates were driving about the city in automobiles. The most interesting place visited was our Monnett School. AU who visited here were delighted and left with a feeling that it was one of the greatest opportunities the church has for real and effective service. At noon today the ladies of the Rensselaer M. E. dhurch served a most bountiful dinner-te-the -visiting delegates. We should like to give the attention every one who was on the program deserves, but this seems impossible. All did their pari; splendidly and it was a great gathering. Following is a list of the visiting delegates and the towns they repre- * r i Mrs. J. W. Rittinger, South Bend. Mrs. Chas.
