Fred Latham, Miss Doro- thy Latham, Mra R, C, Schilling, Mrs. O, J, Murray and Mrs. t, B, Howe, There were seven new subscriptions to the McAll Record, It is hoped every member will subscribe to The Jtecord, It gives such a good descrip. tion of the work done. Miss Frances Whittlesey, vice. president, pald tribute to the enthu. siasm and the splendid work of the ¢hildren's Ausitiary, She urged the senior members to cateh a spark of this enthusiasm and do their best to make the annual convention a suc- cons, An acknowledgement from head. quarters gave our auxillary the record for selling the largest number of Christmas cards Miss Cornella Chamberlain, chair- man of the rellef work committee, told of the garments that had becn sent to Hartford, ready for shipment, After the busincss reports, Mrs. Mitchell spoke with deep feeling for the work of the McAll, She asked that we give it our earncst thought, get it into our hearts, give our sym- pathy for France, “The dynamo of the power of life is lifting your life up with some great movement” The McAll Mission is a great movement, ‘Turning to Mrs. Elliot, president of the New Haven Auxillary, who was the speaker for the afternoon, Mrs. Mitchell sald it was ourggood fortune to have one with us brought a message from the field in France. Mrs, Elllot was one of the party who went over to France for the Jubllee celebratior’in commemoration of the founding of the McAll Mission, fifty years ago. In a volce of deep fecling that touched a responsive chord in her audience, Mrs. Elliot made a plea not to forget what France has done. She needs friends now. Many of us think she is doing the right thing. She said, when she stood at St. Quentin and Sojssons and looked over the depastation, she was frightened. With the I'rench people it is more a feel- ing of fear than hate, she thought. The Jubilee celebration began Sun- day mornifg, June 25th. Mrs. Elliot gave a most interesting account of the meetings, with little sketches of the different pastors, some who have grown grey in the service, and others just starting in. She told of the crowds who thronged the meetings, * what the “Mission Populaire” as they call it means to the people, of its great service to the poor and needy. She described her feeling'at hap- pening to be present in onc of the halls, when a box from Hartford was opened and she saw some of the gar- ents sent in by her own Auxiliary. 'was pathetic the way the garments were appreciated and cared for. A trip to La Bon Messager, one of the McAll Mission boats, was one of ‘Mrs. Elllot's most interesting exper- jences. We drew near with her as she described the approach to 'a little bridge across the Oise, the trees be- yond, the sun shining through and touching the water with rose color, ‘but no boat. Presently singing came from the distance. Still no ' boat. Then they left their automobile, walked down a little winding path and came upon the boat lying at anchor. Some boys and girls from a little Bap- tist church had come down to sing. With their songs and the heartfelt words spoken, it was a most appealing service. Mrs. Elliot said she never could forget it nor the song “God be With You Till We Meet Again,” which followed them out into the night as they whizzed away. The 1f Century fund, Ellen Parkhurst Memorial, reached its goal of $50,000 and Mrs. Elliot witnessed the touching gratitude with which it was received, a most welcome help to the york of the mission. Peérhaps the proudest moment for the American delegation came at the garden party at Bishop Bach's, on June 28th. As Mrs. Elliot said, the settigy was unusualp 8t. John's Luth- eran church and Mause in the midst of a beautiful old court and garden where one would least expect to find it in the heart Qf the city of Paris. After a reception in the garden, the people were invited into the church. Pastor Bach, who is a gifted man, made a beautiful speech of apprecia- tion, thanking the McAll head, Mrs. Colgate, for what the Mission had done for the French during the war and since. At the end of the speech, M. Guex stepped forward and placed a small chair in front of the platform, then came down and escorted Mrs. Colgate to the chair. Mystified, she sat down. Pastor Bach then introduced a rep- resentative of the French government, wearing the red roselte of the Legion of Honor. He expressed the appre- ciation of the French government for the large relief work of the American MeAll assoclation and for that of Mrs. Colgate as the Mission's repro- sentative. He conferred upon her the decoration of “Officer d'Instruction Publique,” as a token of appreciation. Stepping forward he pinned on the gold palms with their purple ribbon. And that was not all. Pastor Bach, in the name of the Mission's com- mittee. presented Mrs. Colgate with A beautiful head in marble, of a ¥rench ouviere. then he asked her to take to Mrs Kelley a hronze figure of the young Jesus in the temple. Mr. TNerry received a bronze statuette of Joan of Are. Mrs. Eliiott's talk was much appra- ciated, especially it is always more interesting to get first Qand informa- tion and the little perSonal touches that .eome from one who has been |to be held at NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1923, m’ and Mrs. Frank H.
