The American McAll has branches in various citles of this country, of which the Britain Auxiliary one of the most efficient. The charac- ter of the women who have made this missionary work such a signal success is shown by that of the women of this ecity with whom the name of McAll is assoclated. In greeting the hundred or more delegates who are arriving to at- tend the sessions of the meeting Wed- nesday and Thursday, we feel that we are extending a cordial welcome to the best of the womanhood of this country whose heart is big enough to hold interests beyond the limits of physical vision; womanhood, concern- ed always with the helpless of the world, tha children, the suffering— womanhood which, in “Keeping the Candle Bufning,” is obeying the great command to go forth and spread the Light.

Few of | us are able te appreciate what an utterly black prospect faces them; few of us have experienced anything| like it, seeing no way to turn for the | immediate necessities of life such as | a place to rest, a place in which to| find shelter.

Germany, with its old castles, affords so many ready-made backgrounds, that ‘“locations” are easily found for the presentation of these stories of other days.
