Another reported a weekly Bible reading in connection with the Woman's
Society, at which one who could read took the Bible while others
gathered around, and "as they got to understand the Word" they spoke
to one another of the work of the Lord in their own hearts.
Report was made of a contribution to the Indian work at Fort Berthold,
also a quilt made by the little girls for a Christmas present to the
Indian children.
One society, embracing both home and foreign work, cared for the sick
and needy of its own church, and also sent contributions to Africa.
Knowing, as I do, the poverty of this people and the sacrifices they
make, I could but feel that if in the North there should be as ready
and proportionate a response, the treasury of the Lord would be
overflowing.
