ANNUAL MEETING.

The Woman's Meeting will be held on Thursday afternoon, October 25th, as

the mountains of Tennessee; Miss Mary P. Lord, associate of Miss Collins

We hope for a large attendance from ladies' and young people's
societies. Do not limit your attendance to this woman's day. Come to the
opening meeting Tuesday, and attend all the sessions. The secretary of
the Woman's Bureau will have a room at the church for a rallying point,
where the ladies and missionaries can meet for mutual acquaintance and
information. Notice of entertainment and railroad rates will be found on
last page of cover.
