assisted by Miss Hanes and Miss Stone, of the South Atlantic Field Com- mittee, have been of immeasurable assistance toward the attainment of — which is after all the one real purpose of the Young Women ' s Christian Associa- tion — the bringing of girls to Christ, building them up in Christ, and sending them out for Christ. Miss Conde has a place in our college life, and particularly in the heart life of Agnes Scott girls, that could be filled by no one else, and her coming just at the close of our year ' s work has made the year, in spite of our many failures and shortcomings, seem crowned with blessings.

Georgia Students ' Missionary League HE sixth, seventh, and eighth days of November. 1914, will always be red-letter days in the memory of the Agnes Scott delegation to the Georgia Students ' Missionary League in La Grange. From the very moment we were met at the Terminal Station by the charming old gentleman who asked if we were from Agnes Scott, and who showed us the special car for the delegates, till the last notes of Blest Be the Tie That Binds died away on Sunday evening, we lived in a state of happiness that was almost unreal. No girls have ever enjoyed themselves as much as we. No people have ever been, or will ever be. as nice as the people of La Grange were to us. They met us at the train in their hospitable way, which was only a prediction of the hospitality extended to us while there. Besides all the fun associated with the convention, there was the deeper, fuller pleasure derived from the meetings. Few of us went to La Grange with any idea of the real worth of the convention, but, after the first services, the welcoming addresses, and the wonderful talks on Africa by Mr. J. L. Mangnm, we all knew the significance, and were thrilled with the old, yet always new, message. As the other days came, bringing more good tidings of the work beyond the seas, we wished more and more the other girls could have been there to share this joy with us. Wonderful talks were given by Dr. Davis, of Japan; Dr. Pickard, Mr. Gordon Poteat, Dr. Jenkins, and others. Although we kept these addresses in our hearts, we wished we could bring them back verbatim. When the evening of the closing service came we were all sorry. We were sorry to leave the newly made friends, and sorry to leave because the meetings had been such a joy and inspiration to us that we wished they could last longer. We were happy, too, because we bad had this privilege of going, and receiving the inspiration, and could bring it back with us, though in our feeble way, to the girls at Agnes Scott. 22
