It was.n that city, in the chapel of the famous Old South church, that a group of 40 raprelenfd- tive women met to organizethe Wom- en's Foreign Missionary Society of New England which later became the Woman’s Board of Missions of the Congregational church. = An histotical pageant, “The Gift of Light,” to be given in Jordan Hall, Conservatory of Music, on the evenings of November 12 and 13, opens the Jubilee week. It was lwritten for this occasion. Woman's work for woman from Bible times to the present era is the broad theme developed in 13 episodes, full of dramatic situations with brilliant costuming, strange Hindu and Chinese music, foreign games and folk dances, and realistic picturgs of life in mission lands. Such a fedture is an ideal in- troduction to the board’s 50th annual meeting which formally opens Novem- ber 14. Most of the sessions will be in Park Street church, but Tremont Temple will be used for a big mass ;nfieeting on the evening of November Naturally the program will contain much of historical interest, found in graphic réviews of the achievements of half a century, in the presence of veteran workers and pioneers, among them a Christian doctor who has come all the way from Bombay to bring greetings from India’s women. “‘Start- ing for the Field in '68" is the sub- ject of an address by Mrs. Ursula C. Marsh, lately of Philippepolis, Bul- garia, who, as Ursula Clark, was one of the Board's pioneer missionaries to Turkey. S As a contrast te the veterans will | be the fresh young recruits with faces already turned towayrd the Bast. One of them will follow Mrs. Marsh on the program, taking for her sub- Jject “Fifty Ypars Afte: This young woman, Miss Adelaide Fairbank, not only represents the numbers of mod- ern college girls who are giving them- selves to missionary service, but she unites the past and present, as she is the daughter, granddaughter and great granddaugh of missionarfes. to India. A feat f one of the aft- ernoon session be the solemn service in whil group of young women will be issioned as mis- sionaries under life appointment. The list of speakers on the 'pro- gram includes missionaries from Af- rica, China, Japan, Turkey and Aus- tria—women who have Tecently come from their flelds and have significant storiés to tell of world qbmditions. Among them are Misg Lulu'@,: Book- walter of Ceylon; Miss Isabellé Phelps of North Chin Mrs. H. J. Bennett of Japan; Mrs. J. S, Portér of Aus- tria; Mise Lucile B, Foreman, Grisell M. McLaren and Miss Clara C. Richmond, and others from Tur- key. .Broader aspects of the missionary outlook will be ‘set forth in addresses by men and women of national fame—President Mary E. Woolley, Mre. Helen Barrett Montgomery, Rev. James L. Barton and Dr. John R. Mott. ‘““‘Our Missionaries, World Citi- zens,” is the subject of an address by a keen observer, Mrs. Franklin H. Warner of White Plains, N. Y., who has recently visited mission fields in the Orient. & The devotional periods will be an integral part of the board’s meeting, and have been planned with great care. Special services on two days will be conducted by Rev. Dr. William Allen Knight, author of that famous study of the Twenty-third Psalm, “The Song of our Syrian Guest”; Dr. A. Z. Conrad, the popular pastor of Park Street church, w)ll lead one de- votiona] ,period. The“week of meet- Ings will close with an impressive Communion service.
