Afternoon Session, After a praise service at the com- mencement of the afternoon service led by Rev. Frunk A. Fuller of Lisbon, there was an admirable address on Woman's Work_In the Local Church, by Mrs. Bdgar M, Warner of Putnam. Mrs. E. M. Warner's Addres She said the best quality in a wo- man was the capacity for sympathetic and compassionate love, and discussed her work as a business woman, & teacher and & missignary. There would be less need of ubs If women were vitally Interested in thelr churches, and thus put as much interest into the church -as into the club. No woman has a right to do so much outside work that she has no time for church work. One-talent workers should be more appreclated and encouraged. Wo- men aro generally the teachers of the children in the Sunday schools, and she told the beautiful parable of the leading of a child. Wise, sympathet- ic teachers are efficlent workers in the church. The social proplem is the most dif- ficult. She approved of raising mo! right from the pocket, and having en- jovable times for the youns people. Tor closing thought was the mission- ary woman.

Plxinfield Man's Quesi Edward Hall of Plainfield said that every question is the result of some reason; he asked a few questions to see if they wers reasons why the prayer moeting should be ndoned. Is it because of lack of attendance or of uncertain attendance, or be cause one goes unprepared, and goes away little if any beiter? Are we going to fast and there is no time to stop and pray? If so, how can we become the salt of the earth if there is no time to pray? Is it becauso the pastor does mot recelve the support of his people? #hould we abandon the source of an advantage to our- any more than we should our Conn.
