on, Miss., our church has been nicely seated with new pews.

At Hammond, La., a new church building has been erected.

At Straight University, a new industrial building has been put up with
student labor, and a small greenhouse has been built. For a long
time the need of enlargement there has been felt, and a lot near the
present buildings has been bought, on which is to be a school house
for the primary and intermediate grades.

At the Fort Berthold Mission, North Dakota, a new church, school and
mission home building has been built and named the Moody Station,
after the giver of the money which built it; also a small church
building at Moody Station No. 2.

At Standing Rock a new school, church and mission building--called
after the donor, the Sankey Station--has been erected. At Fort Yates,
we report a new church building--the Darling Memorial.

These are the most important enlargements and improvements. Of course,
there are many other smaller ones throughout our large field.

WOMAN'S WORK.

Twenty-six Woman's State Organizations now co-operate with us in
our missionary work. Each year shows the increasing importance and
helpfulness of the Woman's Bureau. From it go counsel, help and
inspiration to the lady teachers in the field, and missionary news and
helpful suggestions to the ladies of the State Associations. Through
it pass the sympathy and the help of the earnest workers in the older
churches to the earnest workers in our mission churches and schools.
The people for whom we labor cannot be saved either for this world
or the next, unless the women who make the homes are lifted out of
coarseness and vice, and taught true womanhood and womanly duties
and arts. The Woman's Bureau is a most potent factor in the work of
bringing the Gospel to the rescue of womanhood in our mission fields.
