The Woman’s Home Missionary Society, connected with the State Association of Michigan, held its session during the meetings of that body. The ladies present were addressed by Mrs. Norton, of Dakota, and Miss Rose M. Kinney, of Georgia. Brief remarks were made by Messrs Clark, Cobb, Gilbert and Pike. Mrs. Leroy Warren was re-elected president, and measures were adopted providing for co-operation with the benevolent societies of the Congregational churches working in this country. It is probable that efforts will be made by the ladies to bring the claims of these societies before the people of Michigan in the early autumn. * * * * * The ladies of Iowa will continue to support their missionary, Miss A. D. Gerrish, at New Orleans, La., and as they too have organized for better co-operation, it is confidently hoped that the response from the ladies will enable them to assume the support of a second missionary, at some other point. They have selected as a State Committee Mrs. S. H. Smith, of Davenport, and Mrs. J. H. Ellsworth, of McGregor. * * * * * At the recent State Conference of Vermont, a special meeting of the ladies was called to hear the claims of the A. M. A. missions presented by Miss D. E. Emerson, and a good degree of interest was manifested, resulting in the appointment of a committee of three, Mrs. A. W. Wilde, of Charlotte, Mrs. Henry Fairbanks, of St. Johnsbury, and Mrs. Bowman, of Newport, to secure co-operation among the ladies of the Congregational churches of Vermont in support of a missionary in the South. At the meeting of the Woman’s Aid to the A. M. A., in connection with the Maine State Conference, there was a large and appreciative audience to listen to the reports of their two missionaries, Misses Lunt and Farrington. It was evident that the frequent correspondence with these missionaries, and the knowledge thus gained of the field, had quickened the sympathies of those contributing to their support, and there is every reason to believe that the collections will increase so that a third missionary will in good time be adopted, either in the South or in the Indian Mission. Miss D. E. Emerson addressed the ladies on the general work of the A. M. A. in the South. In order to vary the means of raising funds and to awaken more interest in the churches, a system of rotation of committees is followed, and a new State Committee was therefore appointed: Mrs. Hubbard, of Hiram; Miss L. C. Vose, of Dennysville, and Miss S. Waldron, of Augusta. It was gratifying to learn that the Committee of the past year, of which Miss Smith was chairman, laid aside with regret the duties which, though involving considerable care, had proved more a pleasure than a burden. * * * * *
