After consulta- tion with the Secretary of Foreign Missions and with his hearty commen- dation of Miss Reed's work in Brazil, we took her school as our special object of work, and gave our circle her name. We pledged S50 per year to the work. ' Nearly seventeen years ago Miss Carrie Cunningham, sent by the church of Fulton, Mo., to the North Brazil mission field, was called home to heaven. In response to the call for someone to take up the work, Miss Eliza Reed, her friend, alumnae of the same school, and member of the same church, answered, Here am Ig send me. She went first to our school in Carrpinas, then later on the work was moved to Laveras. There she labored faithfully until moved by the committee to Pernambuco, then to Natal. ln her many years' work in Natal she prepared a class of young Brazilian girls for teaching. So well known has her work become that her pupils are in demand as teachers throughout North Brazil. A few years ago the committee decided to open again a school in the important city of Pernambuco. Miss Reed was called to the arduous work, and has built up there a school of sixty pupils in the face of bitter opposition from the native priests. Her work includes the care of the home, translating and preparing text-books, teach- ing, visiting, and nursing, etc. Truly a busy life for the Master. In I907 it was our privilege to have Miss Reed in the school for some months during a much-needed rest in her home-land. Under this inspiration the Circle awoke to a keener sense of their opportunity and pledged S100 to the work. We have been assigned the privilege of maintaining in Miss Reed's school one of the young women whom she is training for work in dark Brazil. f 84
