A prayer, that, through its pages, other young pee- ple may hear the glad cry, The Master is come and calleth for thee g and may be led to earnestly ask themselves, What lack I yet? A song, because we realize what it means to spend our time in preparation for the great tasks our Master has called us to do and for the joy that comes from doing His will. It is with a feeling of awe that we look forth on the unlimited fields, white already to harvest, and realize the great lack of Spirit-filled workers to glean therein. Our own wide Country alone presents 3 field wherein every consecrated talent may be used to the uttermost in Service for Himg and stretching out far beyond, are other vast fields whose multitudes are hungry for the love and liberty that the Gospel Story alone can bring. Jesus said, Ye are the light of the world, and He does not want us to be selfish with the great gift of love and peace that He has given usg but His com- mand is, Go ye therefore and teach all nations. Our one great desire for our Shield is, that it may help those young people, who have heard the call to Service, to remember, He that winnethsouls is wise, and that Christ is the exceeding great re- ward of those who willingly follow whithersoever He leads.

'JON after deaconess work became an accepted thing in the Methodist Church, with schools at San FranC1SCO and Washington, D. C., the Woman's Home MISSIOUZTY S0- ciety began thinking about a school in the Middle WGS-t, to train young women for this work. At the same t1me,,DI'- J- W- Alderman was dreaming of such a school in Kansas City, Kans. He took the matter up with Mrs. Jane Bancroft Robinson, be- fore the General Conference in 1896. As-a result, ,what Was known as the Fisk Deaconess Home and Bible 'Training School was started, with Miss Mary Pegram as Superintendent. Miss Henrietta Bancroft, as Secretary of Deaconess Work, was a very helpful factor in the growth of the school. The Purpose of the school was to give deaconess training to the nurses at Bethany Hospital, but as others wished to attend, they were admitted. Real school work began in January, 1900, in a house near Bethany Hospital. There were two students and two faculty members, Rev. Christian Reisner, D.D. and'Prof. W. W. Wallace. In the early spring of the opening year, MISS Pegrapn was taken seriously ill and Miss Winifred Spauldmglwas 21PP01Y1ted to take her place. The next fall, school opened in a larger building at 726 Washington Avenue. In 1901, the school was again moved to larl2'f-II' quartersg this time to 608 Everett Avenue. This year the first class of two members was graduated and the enrollment had Jumped from three to fifteen. n The name of the institution was changed in 1902, to Fisk National Training School. In November of that year, Miss Spaulding resigned to take up similar work am0H5r the native girls of Manila in the Philippines and Miss Anna Neiderheiser was then chosen as President. It became very apparent that the work WO11ld continue to increase and it was decided to erect a permanent Home in either of the t'wo cities, which would donate land for the purpose. In less than a month after the decision, two beuutlful sites were offered-one acre in Kansas.C1ty, Kansas, by Dr. J. W. Alder- many the other, ten acres ln Kansas City, Missouri, by Mr. C. E. Schoellkopf. With a thought of future needs in mind, the ten acre tract was accepted. Fisk Hall was erected in 1904 at a cost of 316,000 and the school was moved to Kansas City, Missouri, where it is now located on thc corner of East 15th St. and Denver Avenue. It was thought best that the name of the Institution designate the location, so it was changed to Kansas City National Training School for Deaconesses and Missionaries. The Alumnae Association, ever working for the betterment of the Alma Mater, planned, in 1908 to launch a paper in the interest of the school. In October of the same year, the first copy of the The Kansas City Deaconess was issued. The school was growing so fast, that Fisk Hall was no longer large enough and a small gymnasium building was erect- ed at a cost of S3,000. Praying, planning and working for an- other building began almost immediately, but it was not until 1913 that Schoellkopf Hall was completed and ready for occu- pancy. This building was erected at a cost of S80,000. A school is hardly a school these days without an Annual, so thought the class of 1915, and the result was the first issue of The Shield. A Kindergarten Course had been added to the curriculum and the first diploma from the department was given in 1915. The school continued to grow and advance in its undertak- ing and by 1918, it was necessary to change the curriculum from a two to a three year icourse. . The buildings were again inadequate and praying, planning and working had begun anew f0l' aYl0th6l' lame building, to add to the efficiency of the work.. Plans were drawn up last year for the new building, which will cost at least S100,000, and the raising of funds was actively begun. They are rapidly being pushed to completion, that work on the erection of the build- ing may begin early in the SDFIHSI- It is hoped that a part of it can be used at the opening of school next fall. The present enrollment of the school is eighty-nine. Young women from all parts of the United States, who are interested in equiping themselves for better Christian service, are writ- Ing for information.. So we are assured of a still larger en- rollment for the coming school year. This is but a bare outline of the material growth of an institution in which God has ever been leading into broader fields of usefulness. from year to year.

A 4.. 1 mm BUILDING araeeegfw O Cflhv iitanaaa Euilhing For three years we have planned, talked and prayed for a new building and before another issue of our Shield is publfshed we hope it will be a reality. We are proud of our two splendid halls, but God has prospered our work until we have inadequate room and equipment for our present needs. Will you step into one of the class-rooms with me? This room is 11 ft. by 14 ft. and in it there is a piano, nature study specimens and cabinet, hand work cup- board, a loom, gymnasium equipment, samples of Kin- dergarten and Junior handwork, charts for Domestic Science, chairs and desk. Just across the hall is the Domestic Science Kitchen. It will accommodate ten and there are over thirty in the class, so the teacher must have the pupils come in relays, teaching the same lesson three times, when it might all be done at once and with so much less inconvenience, had she more room and laboratory equipment. Missionary work requires some musical training and so you hear the quartette practicing in the chapel, someone practicing the scales in class room No. 1 and someone else vocalizing on ah in the dining room. It really sounds more like a conservatory than a Bible Training School and is rather disturbing to the stu- dents who are trying to concentrate on a line of thought for a thesis or homily, or, to a teacher who is conducting a class. Several rooms in the new build- ing are planned for the music department. The Okla- homa Conference have made this possible by a pledge of 33,000 We have a fine tennis court, excellently located, but a very small gymnasium and very little equipment. The W. H. M- S- will make possible a splendid gym- Hasium lLl1I'0'-lgh their generous pledge of S10,000. For the practical Kindergarten, Industrial and Re- ligious Educational training, we have little or no room. The Children's Department of the W. H. M. S. have pledged the 352,000 for the Kindergarten Roomg the Alumnae Association of K. C. N. T. S. has taken the Manual Training Department which is also EiS2,000. The two 351,000 class rooms are the gifts of Mrs. George O. Robinson and Mr. and Mrs. Judy, the par- ents of one of our graduates. The Exhibit Room which wlll cost 352,000 will be taken care of by the Ne- braska Conference. Many gifts have come, ranging from 3525, which will name a window, to thousands of dollars, from our friends in many states. Anyone who would make a gift of 525,000 had the privilege of naming the building. Last fall at the W. H. M. S. Convention, the women of the Kansas Conference pledged the required amount and named it Kansas Building. ' '. Paz 19 Is all this sacrifice of time and money worth while? The usefulness of this Institution will be increased and multiplied many-fold with the equipment provided in the new building. In this new day, greater opportunities and larger fields of service are open to deaconesses and missionaries. X Woman has gained a new place in the Church as well as in national life. The ideal type of woman in the present age must think in world terms and have a world-wide vision. She must break away from Old ideals and assert herself and be prepared to bear bur- dens and accept responsibilities. She must be trained for leadership and Jesus Christ must be the center of her training as well as the center of her life. The girls of the K. C. N. T. S. have this ideal eXP1'0SSGd ill their motto, Not I but Christ and hundreds have passed through this school and have gone east, west, north and south with hearts full of radiant joy to do sweet ministry for their Master. They are ministering on the frontier and in crowd- ed city, to the joyous and to the sorrowing heart, to the homeless and friendless, but best of all to the souls who are tired of sin and need someone to show them the Saviour. We people of America, in Home Missionary ter- ritory, cannot as blind, lead the blind. We must be quick to see the needs of this old world and know the best way of meeting them. The Training School, ap- pointed of God, is the means of accomplishing this. Wonderfully and mystically, God has worked out His divine plan for K. C. N. T. S. through its conse- crated President and corps of earnest Workers. Now, when our support is needed, we must not fail them. We so often pray, Thy will be done, thy Kingdom come. Are we ready to help answer that prayer? Service is the supreme comittment of life and substance. Then let us give freely of both that God's Kingdom may come on earth. Pan 20 Rev. Rev. Rev. Rev. Rev.

One need not be a member of our family long, to know what it means to the life of each girl and the place it has in the service which we are rendering to God. It enables each one to carry 1n- to her work, the spirit of Christ, and give to others the desire for a real fellowship with the Master. That we might be strengthened and better pre- pared for the tasks of each new day, fifteen ff1iY1UlJ9S are set apart each morning, for quiet meditation and prayer, in our own rooms. This quiet time comes .lust before the chapel service, and prepares our hearts t0 receive the message given there. Our chapel is indeed a beautiful place. .Stained glass windows soften the light as it shines 1n from God's out-of-doors, shedding a warm glow Over the en- tire room. Flowers or plants are always there, brlllglllg a message of God's gifts to us. Upon entering, one is immediately impressed by the atmosphere of quietness and peace, conducive to worship and Praise.. It seems the most fitting time to have our worshlp, JUS13 b6f0I'e taking up the study and work of the day- The lesson is given by one of the students and occasionally by a deaconess or some special speaker from the outside. Inspired by the heartfelt singing and practical mes- sage, we go forth with a determination to make that day count for God. At the close of the day, following the evening meal, we have our family worship. After singing a fa- miliar hymn, we kneel, while two or three voice our prayer to God. These are wonderful moments. The Page 54 greater part of the day is spent, and we feel the need of talking over with the Father, our failures, our de- sires, our accomplishments and the many other things which are on our hearts. Besides our private devotions and family worship, there are our weekly class prayer meetings which are held in the girls' rooms, on an evening which is most convenient for the members. The half hour between 5:00 and 5:30 is given to this. These prayer meetings add to the class spirit and draw the girls nearer to each other and to Christ, as nothing else can. Those who do mission work among the Mexicans, hold a special prayer meeting every week. They see and feel the need of the work so greatly and know that much is accomplished by the power of God, through Prayer. They are not only living the commandment, Freely ye have received, freely give, but are also re- membering God's promise, And all things, whatso- ever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. The promise is being fulfilled and they have the as- surance that there is power in prayer. But that to which the whole family looks forward, more than anything else, is the Saturday evening Prayer meeting. At 7:30, we assemble in the chapel. Miss Neiderheiser usually conducts this service. It is an hour when all feel free to praise God and worship as the Spirit leads. The testimonies given, always prove to be just what we are needing most. After the tasks of the week have been completed and our preparation for the work of the Lord's Day has been made, it seems a fitting time, then, to offer all that we have to Him, and ask for His all-sufficient grace and power, to meet the opportunities that may come to us. This is indeed a glorious hour! The Saturday evening prayer service is cherished by all those who have felt its influence and have gone out to larger fields of service. We often receive their requests, asking us to remember them in our prayers at this time. We cannot say too much about the devotional life of our school. It is that which deepens our spiritual life and makes us one in spirit and purpose. Aa Mr lliiatrn in at wrist atrh Speak I ICKITY, tick, tick, tick! I am a little wrist watch, may I tell you of the day's work at C. N.' T. S. as I see and hear it? Ding-aling-a-ling, d1ng-a- ling-a-ling! Wake up, Roomie, wake up, the rising bell is ringing and you know we are both waiting on tables for two weeks. We do not want to be late to breakfast. What! O dear, I slept so soundly it seems the night has just begung but I must hurry to be ready when the 6:30 bell rings for breakfast. All the time those girls are getting ready for breakfast my hands are turning and soon I say 6:30. Ding-a-ling-a-ling! They are ready, but before hurrying down to the dining room, they raise their windows to let in the fresh morning air. Now breakfast is soon over and rooms are being cleaned, halls are being swept and dishes being Washed, The girl to whom I belong does not have morning housework, so she is going for a walk and, of course, I go too. Ding-a-ling-a-ling! It is 8:15 and quiet hour. One of the girls is reading aloud, a part of the 10th Chapter of John, then each one prays for the things which are on her heart and both remember the new building. ' We are golng to chapel now and will sing the beau- tiful hymns from the .Methodist Hymnal. A Junior girl is leading the service this morning. She is read- ing fI'01'I1 the 14th Chapter of John and the thought of her lesson is Jesus' answer to Philip, He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. All the girls I know here are trying to show the Father through their lives. That is why they come to the Training School. Nine o'clock! How eagerly they go to classes! Homiletics, History of Education and Child Study. Those who do not have classes this hour study in their rooms or in the library. The hour passesiall too soon for them and new some are going to Life of Paul, Church History and Psychology and others to the library. This hour, t00, PaSSeS QI-1iCk1y, and now it is time for Juvenile Music, Theology and Kindergarten Hand- work. My! It rnust be nearly noon! So many savory odors coming from the kitchen! Yes, there is the warning bell for dinner. See the girls all rush to the Palte 55 mail box and see how happy they are as they get their letters from home. The dinner bell has rung and they finish reading their letters as they go to the dining room. No wonder the girls look so well. I wish you could see those tables! Such good meals as they do have: it's a balanced menu, too, and what a variety! Meal- time is always a time of happy fellowship together. I believe those girls really like to wash dishes. They are good make-believes, if they do not thoroughly enjoy it. From dinner until 2:00 o'clock is a happy time fOr all. There goes a group of girls to Jackson, 110 the Sub-station Post Office: there are others taking a hlke- Here is a group of Seniors in our room. What are they making? Oh, to be sure, collars and cuffs and ties! I should have known without even seeing them. One of the girls in our room is taking the Kinder- garten Course. She does practice work in the Public School and is gone all afternoon. But the girl to whom I belong spends the afternoon from 2:00 until 5:00 studying. She stops studying at 5:00, though, for it is mail time again. This time she receives a letter from her Queen Esther Circle at home saying they are sending a barrel of fruit to K. C. N. T. S. She spends the next half-hour writing to them. Her letter was so interesting, I wouldn't be surprised if those girls all want, to come here to school. Supper-time and every one hungry! They w0n't be, though, in forty-five minutes. Now they are plag- ing their chairs in a circle around the room for family prayers. Some one asks to sing, Take Time to be Holy. After this a number lead in definite prayers of thankfulness to the Heavenly Father for leading them to this home and school and for the privilege of Page 56 working for Him. They pray for the girls who have been here, for those who will come, and also remember the loved ones atxhome. The sunset is beautiful tonight. Many of the girls are watching it, talking of the Great Artist and ex- pressing a desire that their lives may speak as beau- tifully for Him as does all nature. The tennis court is in use tonight, as it always is in good weather. Some of the girls are good players, too. They are having an exciting set as I point to 7:00 o'clock, but they must quit for they know they must study their Psychology for tomorrow and find out what Martin Luther, Zwingli and Calvin are doing in Church History. So they study until 9:30. I continue my tickity-tick-tick-tick and, as I point to 10:00, off goes the light because they never stay up later than 10:00 HJ Good-night, Room-mate. Good-night, I am so glad you are my room-mate! Hasn't this been a good day ? . To this they both agree, but they say this every nlght, for they are all busy, happy days. Oh, Room-mate, do you know tomorrow is Wed- nesday and I have about ten calls to make in the after- noon ? Yes, and Thursday, we are going to have a lec- ture on Campfire work. I wonder what we will do in the parlor Friday night? Well, whatever it is, we are sure to have a good time. Then Saturday night-and prayer-meeting! How time flies! But we must go to sleep. .Tickity-tick-tick-tick! I am so glad I am here fOr If I were not, how would those girls ever get to meals and classes on time? Tickity-tick-tick-tick. .. .

N. T. S. I have changed my mind. Nothing is dull here and certainly not our auxiliary meetings, which are held once each month. At the first meeting last October We received twenty-seven new members. Of course, the Freshman did not know much about the work of the Society, so Miss Garretson gave a review of the different fields helped by our auxiliary. Some of these fields are: Alaska, the Mexican Mission work in Kansas City, the Daily Vacation Bible School, Epworth Home in St. Louis, the work at Albuquerque, New Mexico, and many others. Do we give money? Of course we do. Last year we went over the top on our 31,000 pledge and found Palo 58 we had a total of S107626. This so inspired us that we immediately made our pledge for the new year 351,200 We were each given a mite-box and, of course, wondered how we could earn money to fill it while here in school. But our worries were soon ended and the perplexing question answered-by our Bulletin Board. Every day we received a new idea by such startling notices, as the following, placed there by ambitious mite-box money earners: Special sale of Larkin Goods, northwest corner Fourth and Schoellkopff' Stockings darned, five cents a small hole. Hair shampooed and finger nails manicured. Typewriter for rent-ten cents an hour. and many others, supplying urgent needs. Oh no, we do not reach our goal by this work alone-added to it must be faith and prayer, for the love of Christ con- straineth us. I must tell you now about our other meetings. The book we studied this year was The Church and the Community. That may sound dry but if you could see some of the ways it was presented you would Join a study class at your first opportunity. The chaDte1fS on Community Life and Co-operation were given 1n reviews. That on Economic Factors was presented by means of a play in two acts, dramatizing, A Church Americanization Class and A Street in front of the Church of All Nations. At another meeting we learned how we could help to make our community better, by four scenes, show- ing a Woman's Club of a fashionable Churchrwhlch was wholly disinterested in all missionary activity, its members thinking principally of society and self. Through their pastor's efforts they became interested in one of the city missions and because of this new 1n- terest the whole organization was changed and Vltal- ized. The daughter of one of the leading members consecrated her life to Christ for service. Perhaps our most impressive progfam WHS the pantomine which presented the chapter on. Homes and Housing. The first scene pictured an Ideal home. Grouped around the library table were the father with his evening paperg the mother and the eldest daughter with their sewing, and a younger girl with her school books. Love's Old Sweet Song and Home, Sweet Home were softly played during the scene and, as the tune changed to Sweet Hour of Prayer, all laid aside their work and father took up the Bible for the family worship. The second scene showed a family in the tenement district of the city where all were com- pelled to live in one poorly lighted and ventilated room and work beyond their strength for a living-a house, not a home. The mother stood over a, washtub hard at work while four little girls were making flower bouquets to sell. The door opened and admitted the two older daughters coming from the factory tired and hopeless from the struggle. The scene itself was ren- dered more effective by a solo, Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life. That which makes our missionary programs a suc- cess is the hearty C0-Operation of the students and faculty who are always ready and willing to give their thought, time and talents unreservedly to render them really helpful and inspiring. You have changed your mind about liking mis- sionary meetings? I thought you would. Just re- member next year when you plan to visit me to be sure and stay for one of our Friday night meetings. ,,ll.., Always live up to yo-ur'ideals.

So carefully we've kept them, so choice we've been of them We scarcely can tell where we put them at all. We've hunted all over from garret to cellar, In boxes, in corners, in closet and hall 'Where could we have hidden those little Mite boxes Those pasteboard Mite boxes they gave us last fall? They asked for our dimes, for our nickles, our pennies, The wee bits of money we scarcely would miss. We surely expected to fill to o'erflowing Those little Mite boxes, Oh long! long e'er this! The people are dying, t'hey're groping in darkness They cry Come and Help us to one and to all? But what shall we do, and Oh, where can we find them? Those pasteboard Mite boxes they gave us 121St fall- At last we have found them, those little Mite boxes, In the depths of the dresser drawer tucked out of siirht, Buried deep under gloves, laces, ribbons and feathers Oh! hidden in corners as dark as the night. Oh! had we but put them where we could have seen them We'd had them choked full as likely as not. We wanted to fill them when last fall we took them But laid them away and just simply f0I'fr0t. Today is the day to make good resolutions, Each day is a day to begin life anew. Let all be resolved that henceforth and forever Those little Mite boxes shall be kept in full view. We'll save every dime and we'll save every penny, We will try and remember the needy each day. We'll not only pray but those little Mite boxes Shall be filled to o'erflowing by this time next May.

Let me tell you some of the things I saw and what my sister told me. She goes there, you know, and thinks its fine. Well, 0116 day in September right after school began, when I was coming home from school, there .was a whole bunch out on the tennis court doing exeI'C1SeS- My sister was with them. She's a freshman, YOU know. Why there must have been about thirtyior more and they took all kinds of exercises-walkmg like soldiers, running and keeping step. Then, when they got through with that they began playing 2 game -volley ball I guess is the name. My sister told me that God gave us our bodies to take care of and that the best way to keep them 111 good running order was to take exercise, play games and go on hikes to the woods and a whole lot of stuff like that. ' Almost every day, on my way home, I see a whole bunch of girls out there in their uniforms playing for all they're worth and having Just the best time. My, but I sure do like to watch them! Oh, they do a lot more things! One day the freshman girls went out in the woods. They came back with lots of colored leaves and nuts and .lust bubbling over with laughter. Say, Jim, let me tell you about some of the match games K. C. N. T. S. played. They were with another Page 62 school called Scarritt Bible Training School. CIt's funny how I can remember those long names.J A whole bunch of teachers and girls came over to K. C. N. T. S. and looked all over the building and.said it would be a fine thing when they got their new build- ing, with room enough for a dandy big gym. Oh, I guess it will be bigger than Kensington Gym ! They have so many girls now, it seems as if that building is just running over with them. Well, as I was saying, after the visitors got through looking and visiting with each other, they went out on the tennis court and then the fun began. I'll tell you about those two games. I saw them. I was standing there and yelling for the big tall girl who stood next to the net on our side. She was my sister. CI call it our side because we kind of belong to them and they kind of belong to us.J But first they had a game of tennis. Both sides were fast Players but Scarritt got them that time. Do you think our side put on a long face and wanted to quit? Not much! They were all ready when it came to volley ball. Then's the time I yelled and we beat them. Hip, hlpl Then both teams felt good because you see they both beat. But I missed the best part of the fun. What do you think? They went into the dining room and had something good to eat before the Scarritt bunch went home. Oh my, I wish I could have been in on that too! Let's sit down here awhile in the sun and I'll tell you some more things. You can see the whole Train- ing School from here. There's the tennis court and just beyond it are the buildings. Right about here V w 1 where we are, they are going to put up the new building. Well, on Thanksgiving Day, there were big doings on that tennis court. At about four o'clock they came runing out all ready. About that time I was wishing I hadn't eaten so much pumpkin pie, but I just couldn't miss the fun, so I went downwith Ethel, she was home for dinner that day. The first game was between the juniors and seniors and those poor little juniors were defeated that time. My sister said the senior class always won every game. When they got through with that game of end ball, a couple of us kids played With the ball awhile and first thing I knew they had another game started--this time between some of the teachers and the juniors. Those teachers are game for any- thing like that. Of course, you could tell Whlch W-HS a teacher and which was one of the girls wh0 E098 to school. One of the teachers couldn't hardly run at all. I guess she forgot to take her exercises that day. Well, I guess I don't need to tell you who beat that game-the juniors d1d. Aw, no, you don't have to go home yet! Wait and I'll help you with your arithmetic tonight. I forgot to tell you about the time that a man whose name was Black-no White, Dr. White came to talk about play- ing and religion. He was from the Natlonal Welfare Board, It's funny how I can remember those big words, isn't it? Well, he talked first to the whole school and then they all Went outslde to play. I was one lucky boy that day, to happen along Just in time to see it. Miss Neiderheiser, the President, was out playing, too, and they were all having the best time. They played all their games without any balls or bats or anything. First, they played a game where they were all in a big ring with Dr. White in the middle and Pulls 64 went round and round, singing 'Row, Row, Row your boat.' They kept that up awhile and then started another, something about rabbits. But, oh my, the funniest game of all was one about the mule. They played some more but I had to go home. Woops! there's the five o'clock whistle-Let's run! Ma'll think I had to stay after school. Say, Jim, if I were' au girl, when I got big enough I'd sure go to that Training School. My sister says the best part of .all their athletics is that they can study better, recite better and be glad all the time, be- cause they take care of their bodies as God wants them to do. Good-bye, come over tonight and I'll help you with that arithmetic. Miss Garretson iassigning' Hebrew History les- sonj- We will study the call of Abraham for our next esson.

Miss Garretson Qvery emphaticallyj: This is Hebrew History. PK 69 Cinifa 0911111 E HERE are two spots in Kansas City that are very dear to us girls who taught in the Daily Vacation Bible School last summer. We learned to love God's little ones so much while working in Grace church district and Sheffield mission that we wished D. V. B. S. might have lasted all summer lnstead of six short weeks. The children who came to us were of several na- tionalities, Jews, Poles, Mexicans, Greelfs and others. We learned as we worked in these two districts during the last school year, that during the summer most- of our children were running about the streets, getting into mischief and doing nothing of value to themselves or anyone else. In many of the homes both parents worked all day, or the mother had so much to do, because of the large number in the family, she was unable to give her children the proper care during the summer. It was evident that they had few .advantages and we longed to bring Christ and new ideals to the homes, through the children. Each morning, as we alighted from the 'street car, there was a merry band of youngsters awaiting us. At first their clothing, faces and hands were very dirty, but after the story of the Pig Brother and other habit talks on Cleanliness, the change was almost miraculous. Can you imagine a group of boys who were afraid of a ball and girls who thought dolls were images? It was our joy to show these children how to play Catch Ball, Circle Ball and Base ball. Playing with one an- other was heretofore almost unthought of, but through match games, races, circle games and kindergarten games, it was not long .until they showed a real desire to play, and 21 10Vif1g, klfldly spirit toward one another. The Bible story period came after the play hour, and it was not unusual for the teacher to hear this question asked, When we goin' to have our story ? It was surprising to see how well they remembered their Bible verses for each week, and with what eager- ness they would try to illustrate the story, by clay modeling, handwork, blocks and dramatization Q but their best illustrations were their own lives. Did anyone ever tell you that children didn't like to sing in the D. V. B. S.? We most certainly could have proved to you that that statement was not true. The boys always wanted to start us off with the Wake Up Song or Onward Christian Soldiers , while the girls would usually choose God is Everywhere , but the song they all loved the best was Jesus Loves Me. Instead of hearing them sing the popular music, as we passed their homes, we would often hear these new songs they had learned at.D. V. B. S. i Did it pay us to take just a little more time and effort to teach these songs? Perhaps we can say that the handwork had the most immediate results. The miniature houses and furniture made by the boys, the bedding, rugs and curtains made by the girls, brought many changes to the homes. Coat hangers and tooth brush holders be- came greatly desired. A very interesting time ensued one morning after the tooth brush holders were fin- Page 71 ished. Each child was given a tooth brush and the drill began in earnest with more or less awkwardness, but nevertheless, the teeth were cleaned. Each week there was planned something extra. Once it was a trip to the museumg another time a treat of pop corn and cookies and for many this was the first time they had ever sat down to a table to eat. Then came the big treat at the end. First, there was the long car ride with a great many exclamations of Oh I and, This is going to be my house when I get big- Then the trip through the park with its long stretches of green grass, many large trees and beautiful flowers, all of which were new to the children. The Zoo was a place of wonderment to them. This outing ended with a big dinner, which was ravenously devoured. D. V. B. S. comes in mid-summer with all its heat, but, because it is a Bible school and we are bringing to God's little ones helpful things of every day living, it is easy to forget the heat, and we will be glad when Vacation Days come again. -1-T- WHAT WOULD K.

You can get over to Bancroft in time if you'll hurry. ' No, if I did that I'd have to miss Church School -that doesn't close until 4:15 and .besides that I am to beat the triangle tomorrow. Miss Garretson, the lady that wears a black dress with a little white on it-I 'bout forgot what they call her-Oh, yes! a dea- coness-well, she Said I Could, and I must be there. This was Joh31'S emphatic refusal to a pressing invitation from Dick, a sixth grade boy of Bancroft School, to join the members of Dicks gang on a hike the next afternoon. John was from the same grade in Horace Mann School and was most fortunate in being one of the pupils in Kansas City's first Week- Day School of Religious Education. lxZ7l Church School ? asked Dick. What's that? Well, it's a school where we learn from the Bible. Pshaw! is that all? Couldn't you miss that? You'd have heaps more fun with us. Why, you don't know what good times we have at Church School. I've never heard nothin' about it. It must be some school if you'd rather go there than go with us. What kind of good times do you have anyhow? Tell me 'bout it. , Well, we are dismissed from school at 3:00-I mean our grade and the fifth grade is. We play ball or somethin' for ten minutes, then the bell rings and we form in line and march by three's over to, that church that is about a half ta block from Horace Mann. My, the first day there was a bunch of us-180! We lined up outside the church and had our pictures taken. You see it's the first Week-Day Church School they've ever had in Kansas City and I guess we're an impor- tant crowd. Mr. Settle made a speech to us that day. Say, but he's great! It'd be lots of fun to go camping with him sometime. Who's he ? Well, he's Secretary of the Kansas City Sunday- School Association, my father saidi and he's back of the whole thing. If it wasn't for h1m we wouldn't be having Church School. You haven't told me yet what you do after you get there. First thing, we march into the church, continued John, one of us boys always goes over early to keep time on the triangle. I get to do it tomorrow. Then we have our worship service. And say, it's fine! They've taught us a lot of new songs-or hymns, the Page 74 ,.,-sand.,-each week we-have the same lesson we had in teacher calls them. They're not so fast and jerky like some of the songs we sing at Sunday-School, and we like to sing them lots better-especially when the teacher explains to us what they mean. We've learned the Ten Commandments and after we say each one we sing a response-I like to say 'em that way. We have two big flags--the American flag and the Christian flag. I never saw the Christian flag before. It stands for Christ and His Kingdom and we salute it too. Oh yes! and we've learned a Bible salute. An' most al- ways they tell us a story, they know what kind of stories we like too. 'That doesn't sound much like a school. Don't you have to study anything? Study! I should 'say we do! We study the Bibleg Sunday School the- Sunday before-the Graded Lessons. But we learn a lot of new things about the story. We'd never have time to do in Sunday-School all the things we do in Week-Day School. And say! I never thought the Bible was such a good book to study. At first it was a little hard, but the teacher helped us to under- stand all the new words and the hard verses 5 and now I'd rather read it than any book in our school library. They're most awful particular about us bringin' our Bibles. I always just leave mine there because I'm liable to forget it and you miss out terrible on the lesson if you don't have one, and excuses are something else they're particular about. If we miss we have to bring one, just like we do in Public School. Then, the best part is that .we make maps, do paper cutting, draw and all kinds of things. Course, it's always something about the lesson. And we al- ways have prayer before we go. It's a school and yet somehow the teachers make it seem like -church. Who do you mean by teachers? Same ones as you have at Horace Mann ? No, there are some ladies from a school over at 15th and Denver, called the Kansas City National Training School, they come over and teach us. Oh yes, those folks that are goin' to be mission- aries some day, but they don't know how to give a fellow any fun. Oh! why, you don't know all about them! Last month, Valentine Day was the same day as Church School. When we marched in, the chairs and tables were all pushed back against the wall. After we had our worship service, instead of telling us 'to go to our classes, the teacher had us get in a big circle and the next thing we knew, we were playin' the finest game. They hadn't told us anything about it. We made Val- entines too, and we had the greatest fun. Yes, those teachers know something beside Bible stories, why, they knew the most new games that afternoon, and they played with us too. Say! it must be fine to go to that.sChO0l, Said Dick, who was becoming more and more interested. Yes, and one afternoon we played a Bible story. My class and two others have the same lessons, so we all went together and did it. Whew! it was great. l'll always remember that story. It was about the time when King Rehoboam lost most of his kingdom because heuwas unkind. We boys figured out how to do it fthe girls and Miss Gar- retson helped just a littleb 5 but we did most of it our- selves. It was fine to go to the platform then and act it all out. W And here's our Church attendance book, ex- plained John, as he took a small blue-covered note book from his pocket, I take that to church every Sunday. See, here's a place to write the name of the hymns that we sang, and here's a place for the preacher's text, and for one thing he said. Say! you know Since I've been keepin' this book I've found out our preach- er's sermons aren't so dry after all. The teachers grade these books too. Can anybody go to that school? No, not just anybody. No one can come unless their father or mother .signs a card, asking that they be dismissed from Public School. Those who don't go stay at school and study. There's only about twenty- five though in both the fifth and sixth grades that don't go to Church School. Do you have to pay ? No, you see they have a Board of Religious Edu- cation. .There are people on it from five different churches. My father belongs to itg and he helped get this school started, and he knows all about it. I heard him say the other day that these five churches were payin' the money for it. Do the teachers at Iflorace Mann care if you go ? No, 'cause the Public School Board said we could be dismissed at 3:00 o'clock, two afternoons a week, if our parents would sign the card. Couldn't I come then if my daddy would sign for me ? Not this year. H Aw, I don't see why? Well, this year the Board my father's on, de- cided that only folks who go to Horace Mann School could be dismissed. It's only in our part of town that they'y-e tryin' it now. Father said, the other night, that Mr, Settle had told him, that a lot of other churches were wanting to form Boards of Religious Education so that boys and girls from the schools near Page 75 them could have Church Schools too. They're goin' to have ours again next year and father said maybe they'd let other grades besides the fifth and sixth come. Anyway, maybe by that time they'll have one for your school. Whew! I sure hope they do, and believe me, I'll be there. Well, I promised Clifford I'd see him some more about our hike, said Dick, as he started off. Well, I'll go with you boys sometime, when it isn't Church School Day, called John. But I can't afford to stay away a single day from that. I'd be sure to miss something goodg then I'd be sorry. It's Church School for me every time. Miss Churchill fannouncin: the closing hymn in Sunday Schoolj : Let us rise and stand.

Plans for Commencement were talked of everywhere, and many arrangements were being made for the important event. The class of Madison High, '20, was the largest ever to graduate, and the High School was proud of the scholarship and honor of the class, as well as the size of it. Two members of the class, Elizabeth Morrison and Helen Ward, were walking home from a committee meeting, in the late afternoon. They had been discuss- ing Commencement exercises, plays and parties, but now their thoughts and words turned to a different subject. Elizabeth and Helen had been friends all through High School and their friendship was one which had ennobled both. Now they were discussing their plans for the next year, half glad and half sorry to leave the old school. What happy days these have been! Elizabeth said, yet we need not regret leaving them, for we are going on to something nobler and finer. Elizabeth was planning to go to Baker University where she hoped to prepare herself for a teacher, while Helen ex- pected to study to be a kindergarten teacher. I wish I were ready right now to begin teaching, Elizabeth said, and how I hope that I may be a teach- er like Miss Robertson has been. She has always in- spired me to do my best, and I feel lifted and lifted after being with her. Helen had been silent for a few moments. Now she surprised Elizabeth with a question: Do you ye- member what Dr. McDowell said the other night about the urgent need for trained and consecrated workers- those who would give all? Ever since he spoke, the faces of those forlorn little folk, which we Saw dgwn on Fifth Street the other day, have been coming be- fore my mind. Surely someone is needed to help re- St0I'6 happiness '00 them. I believe this is God's way of calling me to service for him. What greater art than to restore the image of God to faces that have lost it ? Elizabeth quoted. Perhaps we can both help to restore His image, you, helping .the little folk, and I, the young people. Per- haps you may work in a Settlement some day. Yes, I might be sent to some Settlement some day, Helen said, or even across the seas. But she trembled as she said this, for she thought of the pos- sible separations, the loneliness, and the hardships to be endured. But she seemed to hear a voice saying: I am with thee, and will keep thee whithel-Soever thou goest, and she said softly, I will go anywhere with Him. 1...-..-i Miss Garretson was deeply absorbed in a Week- Day Religious Education council when a knock was heard on her door.

It was while attending Epworth League institute, I realized I was not doing all that I should for my Master, and with the realization, I made a decision to prepare myself for definite Christian service. With the knowledge of God's call and the decision made, the next step was to go some place where I could prepare for better service. The way opened so wonderfully for me to come to K. C. N. T. S. and I have been so happy since being here. M S The Vision Splendid! Yes, it was a vision that gave me insight to the needs of the world and a long- ing that I might be used to help bring in the Kingdom of Righteousness. There was nothing miraculgus about it, however. It was but a gradual working of the Spirit. It came about in this manner: Through the Winsome Christ-filled personality of a friend, the leader of our Epworth League, I was led to see my lack of Christian service and to know God, the Father, in a more vital way. Through Bible and Mis- sion Study classes, the dire need of folks everywhere, without Christ, came to me with deep conviction, and through Epworth League activities, I experienced real service and longed for more. I was a business girl and enjoyed my work but was not satisfied. Why? Because the vision of the need, together with the love God had placed in my heart, were deepening and ever luring me on to give of myself. It was at an Epworth League Institute that I said, Yes, Lord, Here am I, send me. And the vision? It is all the more potent, because I am n0W Preparing for greater usefulness. E. R. One day after a conversation with a friend, she suggested that deaconess work would be fine for me' but I answered that I was needed at home and did not think much about it. Several years afterward I listened to an evan- gelist preach from this text: He that loves father or mother, brother or sister, more than me is not worthy of me. The sermon. was forgotten, but a voice that spoke only to me said: Be a Deaconess. Then I made other excuses, but took a correspondence course in Bible work while I tried to make Sure 1 was not mistaken. One Sunday morning almost four years afterward the pastor called for volunteers for service. I sudden- ly found myself going over events and to my surprise realized that every obstacle had disappeared. I prom- ised God that morning that I would commence train- ing the next September, and I did. Satisfied? Yes. M. L. God Speaks-Far, far from our dear K. C. N. T. S., in a little country ChU1'Ch, I heard God's voice. It was revealed to me throughfche ministry of one who had a vision for greater service. There came to me and within me, a deeper experience of God's love. God Calls-As the joy and happiness of my new experience grew, a desire to help others and to tell P818 79 them of this gladness found a place in my heart. These words came to me, Freely ye have received, freely give. God Leads-How was I to give to others? The years slipped by. Then away from my mountain home I traveled, to dwell beneath the sunny sky of the Sun- flower Statef' Soon I found myself facing three roads. Which should I take? Looking down the one to the right, I seemed to see a picture of a good position, and a large bank account. Reluctantly, I turned to the left and saw a long road leading far to the westg but the end I could not see. Turning, I saw just before me, a beautiful white way and there stood a guide, a lady dressed in black with white collar and cuffs, and a black bonnet with white ties. She explained many things to me that had long been perplexing. So once again I journeyed and soon reached the open door of the home that is so dear to each girl-K. C. N. T. S. Above its door I seemed to see these words, Not I but Christ. As I entered there came to me the con- sciousness of a new happiness and a new joy, for now it was my privilege to train for Service. M. W. M. After I had finished my training for the nursing profession, the thought that I could serve my Master as well in my profession as I could by .giving myself for definite Christian service kept COI'l'l1I1g to me. But there was always an unsatisfied longing. I loved my profession, especially, after I took up my work as a visiting nurse. Those little Austrians, Lithuanians and Croatians became such a part of my life that sometimes I felt I could not give up my work among them, even though I knew that I might be called to a similar task, after I had finished my spe- cial training. Pale 80 Some of my friends did not understand. They wondered why I felt that I could do a bigger and bet- ter work for God and humanity, by taking the train- ing at K. C. N. T. S., when I had already prepared for nursing. But I was thinking of the many, many lives which God may heal, through me, both physically and spirit- ually. There is such a need for medical workers in both home and foreign lands and it makes me so glad to know that it may be my privilege to fill one of these needy fields. May He have His way in my life. R. McD. The cry of preparedness sounds from every busi- ness college, from every professional college and from every school that helps its students to meet life. Pre- pare! For what? For anything you want to do. If you would be a teacher--prepare, a doctor-prepare, 2. stenographer-prepare, a home-keeper-prepare. I was already a teacher and yet wished I could do more for Christ. I thought if I could only do some- thing outside of school hours or during vacation I would be satisfied. But I wasn't. Over and over came the thought, Christ's work cannot be a side issue. I realized if I were to make it my life work, I must know how to do it efficiently. Again I heard the cry, Prepare! What a new meaning it had! If I were to be a partner in the King's Business, I must study to show myself approved unto God, a Workman that needeth not to be ashamed. The result--three happy years at K. S. It is not necessary to see the end from the begin- ning, for the life that has chosen to leave its guidance in God's hand is willing to enter the door of greatest opportunity. My purpose, since a child, has been to work among the poor. Every opportunity which came my way was unconsciously measured by its relation to that purpose, which I kept in the most secret place in my own heart. I responded to the appeal to Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousnessng and have trusted in the promise that All of these things shall be added unto you. Opportunities for education were delayed but with them came a desire to specialize in Public Health Nursing. When just on the point of entering a three year course of nursing, I attended an Epworth League In- stitute, where I decided to come to K. C. N. T. S. Now, in my second year, I am doing' the kind of work I have always longed to do-Christian Social Service, and I owe it to those who have made K. C. N. T. S. possible and to the willingness to enter an open door-the door of greatest opportun1ty.M L I had not planned to come to K. C. T. S. as had many of the girls here, for I knew little about the Training School until 1920, my senior year in High School. We were discussing future plans and ambitions... just what we wanted our lives to count for in the world. The majority of the class were looking for- ward to careers, believing a specialized vocation neces- sary in this day and age. I desired my work to be such that it would best serve the Master and others, but I did not hear Him calling me into any of the voca- tions for which my friends were preparing. However, at the Epworth League Institute, the need for efficient Christian workers was put so force- fully that I realized the wonderful opportunities which come to those trained for Christian service. And there came to me a conviction that this was the work Christ would have me do. I knew that I must receive training for such work and it was suggested that K. C. N. T. S. offered just the course I needed. To me, there is nothing unusual about this. I think it is very natural that a girl should prefer her life work to be of a definite Christian character. For, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and wlth all thy mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second like unto it is this, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thy- self. i V. C. Page SL Q iliirnaihv EIT IS EVENING. Without-the sky is gray, snow flakes are fluttering softly, some falling lightly on my window ledge, others gently nestling around the roots of the trees and flowers to protect them from the bitter cold, and still others clinging to the branches. Within-I have my cozy room-and the fireplace! Fireplaces are so delightful and really very accommo- dating. Shadows dance upon the wall, playing tag, then running away, only to be replaced by others even more grotesque and fascinating. The soft' shadowy grayness and the warmth cast around, entice me' to the comfort of the easy chair in front of my 1Y1V1l31Hg fireplace. The day's work is done. Many things have been accomplished and in the flickering blaze, I llve agam the events of the day. As they pass before me, other pictures come and I am dreaming, dreaming of other days long since gone. Many years have passed since I was a senior in '21 and I live again with those who made it one of the best years of my life. I Ah! Who is this? Miss Neiderheiser, of course, the leader of the whole flock, always iI1'C61'eSted and ready to help. She's in the chapel-homiletics, to be sure. Those were such interesting and helpful times. Now I see her again and it's sewing class. Another picture-Miss Banman and Miss Pike, folding Kansas City Deaconessesf' in the office- quite a familiar scene. And there comes someone with a suitcase-no, there are several. Oh, yes, field work- ers, Misses Judy, Britt, Benedict, Tibbetts and Rigg. Page 82 ilianrira They come smiling, too. Maybe they have won more girls to service or had great success in some special meetings. Now, what do I see? Woods and birds and flow- ers. Why I might have known it-Miss Smith and her Nature Study Class. It must be something very interesting they have found. And over there on the hillside are some girls, with art boards in their laps- Ah, now I remember, the art class, and there is Miss Hutcheson helping first one and then another. And I see her again on the tennis court with one of her gym classes. What fun! what fun! How quickly these scenes come and go-too quickly! There are Mr. Morales and Mr. Bisceglia leaving after their Spanish and Italian classes are overg and Dr. Wright and Rev. Brown. My! such wonderful days as those were! Shall I ever forget Dr. Jeffrey? Ah, I see him, too, and he has the same mischievous look. I wonder if he ever forgot his glasses again! Another-Miss Hastings-and she is bandaging Miss Hobbs. That is fading now and I see others- girls coming from class rooms, and some one, a dea- coness, carrying a-what! yes, a parrot-ha! ha! ha! -now I know, it's Miss Wolfe with a toy parrot, made by some one in her Hand Work Class , and she has some doll furniture too-'Tis gone- How stupid of me to nod so-and the fire is low. Now fuel makes the sparks scamper up the chimney like wild elves and the comfort of my easy chair makes me think of Miss Curry, for she had such an inviting one in her room. Can it be? Yes, 'tis Miss Curry her- self, in class, too. Must be Church History or Method- lsm--and Miss Bahnson is reciting. Houses, streets, stores, buildings, churches-Kan- sas City?-yes, and there is Grand Avenue Church and Miss Trimble. Some heart will be cheered by her to- day. And now I see Trinity Church-Miss Blaschko, with her High School League-Dr. Homan, too. He taught our Life of Paul class. Another part of the city is before me--poor, dirty and smoky. That surely ls Miss Ferguson in Sheffield or Argentine, with one of tlae lVIexican children. I-Iow she did work for those peop e. Now I see more classes--Rev. Scheerer, Frye and Draper, Rev. Peters is leaving and there comes Rev. Hunter to take his place. The dining room-Miss Cowles, of course, pre- paring the tables for one of her delicious meals. I can almost smell the good things! And Miss Hanson, too, carrying plates of nut bread or hot rolls which her Domestic Science girls have baked, I know. That must be a Sunday School class for there is Miss Garretson in charge. Now she is with some girls going some place, probably on their way to the Week Day School of Religious Education. Still another class-the instructor waving her arms about-and now the pupils are, too-Ah, to be sure, Miss Hill's music class, learning how to beat time. How glad we all were when Miss Hill would sing or us. There is Miss Oltmanns, bless her heart, with the clothes basket full of dust cloths, singing her usual Monday morning song and driving away more than one kind of cobweb-and it is gone. 'Tis kind of you, my fireplace, to paint such fancies, and let me live again for one Short evening with those who gave so much that others, too might live-and give. ' Thou must be true thyself, If thou the truth wouldst teach, Thy soul must overflow If thou another's soul wouldst reach' It needs the overflow of heart l To give the lips full speech. -Horatious Bonar.

Theology of this day must of necessity be colored with the learnings of today. Truth is truth the world over, you cannot affect truth in any way. Religion is life. The biggest thing God ever did was to ask you to do big things. It is not the measure of success that counts, but the amount of ability used. Belief is the asset of mind to the truth of a proposition. Faith is believing and acting like it. Life is correspondent to environment. ...Drummond. R.

In this district there are 40,000 Italians and the Mary Palmer Church is the only Protestant Organization doing any work among them. It is distinctly a foreign section, and the maJor- ity of the people are nominally Catholic. Miss Doud works with the Italian pastor of the church and has two assistants, a YOLQHS American girl and an Italian young woman. Six y0u1'1g D00- ple from one of the uptown churches aid in the Sun- day School, and a public school teacher in night School- Miss Doud and her assistants conduct classes in religious education, kitchen garden, cooking, sewing, basketry, boys' club work and night school, as well as the Sunday work. They also do much work in the homes, teaching American ideals, finding work for the unemployed, discovering the truly destitute and those who need to be raised to a plane of self-respectg as well as personal evangelism. Miss Doud is learning Italian from her pastor and assistant and in return is teaching the assistant Eng- lish. She is also aiding two young Italian men, who are candidates for the ministry, in their study of the English language. She finds her field a challenge to all her powers and a source of unlimited opportunity.

Nestled down in a canyon seven miles long is Bingham Canyon, where there is found a little Methodist church seek- ing to serve the community. At present the population is about 8,000. There are three , settlements in the camp, Bing- ham, Copperfield and High- land Boy. The camp as a whole is 65 per cent foreign. Many nationalities are repre- sented. The greatest num- ber of foreigners live in High- land Boyg Greeks, Italians, Japanese, Austrian, Swedish and Serbian predominating. In Bingham proper the population is one-third Mormon.

Miss Souders has been the efficient superintendent of the Shesler Deaconess Home, which is the Home for the North- west Iowa Conference, for five years. A beautiful, commodious Deaconess Home YIHS bflen built, and all lines of deaconess work in the Conference have had new im- petus and life. Settlement work has been re-organized and there are now two strong points of work, with district work and station work. Miss Souders has Spent much time in W. H. M. S. work in the Conference, organizing and taking Thank Offerings and stimulating the work in every way. She has made a fine success in an administrative task, which perhaps is not as popular as some other lines of deaconess work, but which represents one of the greatest needs of today. IN FOREIGN LANDS. Miss Winnogene C. Penney, T15, is in her fifth year as missionary in China. She IS atuthe head of the Girls' School in Tzechow, Szechuan, China. Conditions there have been very tense, but' the work is a joy. Miss Joy Smith, '15, is beginning her work as dis- trict evangelist, out from Nankmg, China, and writes enthusiastically of the opportunities that are coming D to her. Miss Bessie Meeker, '18, is in the Language School in Nanking, China, preparing for evangelistic work. Mrs, Karen Hansen Kiser, '07, and her husband, are laboring in Constantine, Algeria.

Hutchinson is a busy little city, with a Methodist Church that IS wide awake to its responsibilities and op- portunities. We have a memberSh1D of two thousand, which necessitates Emuch calling and the brmgllfg of cheer to the discouraged and shut- ins.' There are many men and Women, ,boys and girls, who need to be Qbrought to the Master and have the influence of the church. This is our task. 1 A teacher-training class of fOI'f3Y A Mjmembers meets Wednesday evening B after prayer meeting, as well as a mission study class. . Our Epworthians have caught the vision of a world need and have given 55250.00 toward building a mission circuit in Africa. The Life Service Club with fifty members, is composed of our best young people, who are willing to let the Master use them in His service. Several enter college this fall to prepare for special service and we must find m0re 'CO fill their places. U In the near future We hope to do a vital work among our Mexicans.

Home, Benton 1930 12th and Indiana Bell, Clifton 3165 NETTALEE WALDECK, '11, Binghamton, N. Y. Miss Waldeck is in charge of the Parish House of the Clinton Street Methodist Church, having oversight of its varied ac- tivities. The parish is approximately two miles long and one-half mile wide. The work of theuchurch is chiefly with the foreign speaking people, although there is an American constituency of perhaps 2,000. The estimate of the foreign-speak- ing population is between 10,000 and 12,000. The chief groups found are Slovaks, Poles, Lithuanians, Ukrain- ians, with a small scattering of Bohemians, Syrians, Italians and a few other racial representatives. A great many of these people have no religious affilia- tions, although there are six foreign-language churches in the parish. The social agencies at work .include a Day Nursery, Public bath House, a Clinic, Child Welfare Stations in connection with the public schools, a Polish reading room, and several playgroundS- FOI'ty-Seven per cent of the houses are owned by the occupants, the percentage of ownership being high- er among the foreign-speaking than among the native Americans. The Church has always been in the character- making business, that is our task, through preaching, visitation, Sunday School education, clubs and classes, athletics and games, lectures and literature.
