The Secretaries Annusi Report- Itis only trom a sense of duty, and an ardent desire to perform that duty so far as 1s in my power, that J am impelled to ceme betore you again with another sngual re- port, for the position is naturally at- tended with difficulties and embar- rassments which we find hard to over- come, since we so deeply accord with the sentiment expressed by the worthy President of the _ Parent Board in her annual addrese: That *‘Christian women, of all others, least desire to overstep the bounds of womanly modesty and propriety ;”” but in accepting a position in which we find this required amount, we feel its entire fulfillment only the duty we owe to the society amd the cause it tepresents. From _ this standpoint we would wish you to view and take note. And here the question naturally arises, what can best be said that will the mest clearly and foresbly set before you our true condition and our true standing as a Presbyteral 4 Society. Why were we organized? ‘ For what should we be working? And are we fulfilling our duty in this cause? are questions that should be candidly answered by each one Pp whether in immediate con- néction with the society, or occupy- ing positions the influences of which extends to, or over its grounds. Six years agoeOsage Presbvtery contained not one existing auxilary. What.was the condition of each one efour churches from the mission standpoint? Was each church doing its duty in contributians ‘to the dif- ferent branches of the cause? Go with us to the minutes of the : General Assembly, and there we will findin Osage Presbytery, con- tributed by the churches, to the cause of missions, $547. The fol- lowing year the firstauxilary sprang into existence. At the expiration of * three years, working societies could have been tound among us; while the fourth year came to us full of events and encouragements. The earnest efforts of the faithful! few who attempted the Presbyterial organization at the meeting of Pres- bytery, not being crowned with suc- cess, and being again delayed at the next meeting, only helped to a more thorough effort where true earnest- ness is found when the opportunity did present itself, and the arrange- ments for the convention® at Pleas- ant Hill, terminated in a complete s organization, at which time we find five new Societies and three mis- sion bands just organized and com- ing up to aid. The first annual meeting found us numbering in all ten auxilaries and four bands. With what advancing steps had the vear been bearing us on to the goal of complete organization. What do we now find 1n our_midst? Organization that leads to effect. Shal! we make another call on our General Assembly records? Very Es good ; and we there find a small ad- vancement. Six hundred and thirty- two dollars 1s there given to your credit. The present year has been one of discouragements to us in| many. re- spects. We have been deprived of our worthy President, our Vice- President has been impelled to re- sign, and our Treasurer 1s lying low under God’s afflicting hand by which Heseems bidding her come up higher. Would he say to us by these thing, ‘‘Cease from your la- bors?” Nay; but my grace 1s_ suf- ficient for you. ‘*Go to work to- day in my vineyard.” Our -present condition cannot be estimated sim- ply by dollars and cents; although these must have their places, and we oft-times feel and know the de- pendence with which they must be rogarded ; but there is an estimation being placed upon our work by One who properly adjusts all balances. One who not only knows every dol- lar and cent applied to the work, but also knows each pure and earnest effort, every audible and_ silent rayer ascending to the throne of race, knows the balance that is full and weighty, knows also the exact ones which are found want- mg. The year closing with ‘the annual meeting of our Parent. Board ath to us asmall increase in num- A few weeks after their an- = meeting while looking over ar repo.t judge of my surprise when Fo noted the stntcrheat that wuss Presbytery contained, in- ing Bands, fourteen Societies, when the Presbyter:al report hand- ed in at that meeting, contained a list of twelve Societies and eight Bands, atotal number of twenty, which were existing and actively working in the Master’s cause. While this report gave usa credit of eight — and found here and there along the line. ; i Teport given be- the ag credited its auxil- “ary Societies and Bands with work done to the amount of one thousand and sixty-eight dollars and forty cents, which included fifty six dol- Jars and thirty-five cents cuntributed — in mite boxes. This1s a true esti- mate from the reports sent to me, | and what more was done cannot be creditable because ot the tailure of some Socities to'sendtheir reports. A small ion of this hasbeen locally apphed, but only in Mission churches, fandin the application of this at | home has not the work been done just as truly as if it had peen for- warded to some other field. | Some one might say; why tell us |those things? Give us something | besides errors made and dry statis- \tics WouldI be performing my duty as your Secretary towards this Society and this Presbytery? did I | not strive to show to it the true | standing and condition? If a work | is worth doing at all itis worth doing well, and if errors arise from inac- tivity and lack of khowledge, is it anything amiss to seek a remedy that everything may “‘be done de- cently and in order?’’ In the dis- cussion: ‘*The necessity of syste- matic working of the auxilaries with the present Secretary,’’ we hope the ladies will clean up all doubtful and discouraging points, otherwise we might go on and on in the same old rut, but while we have some en- .couragements let them stir us up to renewed activity and zeal. | AJL this time we must not allow ourselves to lose sight of our Assem- bly records, forI have before now heard the claim that the “Auxiliary Societies after organized detract, aad hinder a church trom giving as liberally to'tnese causes as it would otherwise have done. Have these Societies taken anything from your ¥éecords in the past two years? Let us look back and see. Osage Pres- bytery, home and foreign missions, one thousand and seventy-five dol- lars, an increase of four hundred and forty-three dollars since we called upon you for statistics. Oh, anx- ious and fearful one! That is not retrograding (?) very far, and if we never injure you any more than that you will have great reasons to be thankful. We have concluded trom evidences we possess, thatthe church that has the most active Society cen- tributes the most to the cause of missions. But while some of our churches and committees are not as- sisting us, have nut organized in the work, but simply are letting us alone, we do not intend to let them alone for we need you. The Mas- ter needs each and every one of you. To be sure He is able to have His work carried on without you, but where, oh where, will be the reward. This 1s too grand and glo- nous anarmy for any one of us to miss being found in its ranks. We cannot leave this without ask- ing you why you are nct_ organized —why you are not going with us? I trust you cannot come tous with the plea, as did one toSy- noical secretary of Kansas, about which she told us in her report that *‘your pastor gives you no encour- agement, that he has no sympathy with missions,’’ but if such should be the case, we could only reply in her words: ‘I can hardly find {words to express my sense of the unfitness of such a man to hold a ; commission under our ‘Great Cap- tain,’’ whose last command - reads, “teach all nations.”? Indeed I have serious doubts whether his commis- sion came from that leader. Have you who yet remain unor- ganized a representative in our meet- ings? It not I turnto the pastors ot each place and plead with you to return to your flocks filled with the spirit of God and His: missions, de- termined to enlist them in His work, and God will raise up some heart that are Histo go forward in the work, But how about those of us who are already orgamzed. Are we going forward continually, never faltering, never looking back? True, we have lost one from our midst, but the hearts did not grow cold and cease to work as is sometimes the case. Weak in numbers at first they have been scattered to other points until not enough were left to goon with the work. The meeting this afternoon was encouraging in many respects, but what can I tell you ot the reports. I must say that those we had were very encouraging, but we are: sor- Ty tonote the absence of reports from the majority of our Societies, why this is we cannot tell, but He who knows all things can tell why for the statements given will tell you why statistics cannot be given to you. With the hope that before an- other yea: rolls round all, botn So- cieties and pastors, in every one ot our churches, will be thoroughly aroused and active in the work, we leave this | with you and our Heavenly Father. j Mrs. C.
