call for help has been strong and in- sistent and the field seems to grow larg- er each year. From this general work much of a personal nature necessarily follows, which is impossible to report. The entire corps of Bible Women meeting each Tuesday in the Bible In- stitute at 4 p. m. for report and con- ference and prayer are bound together in bonds of closest harmony and full- est fellowship, going on to each new week with heart and body strengthened for renewed effort n the blessed work of the salvation of souls and upbuilding of the saints. This year's work of the Bible Women under the continued direction of Mrs. T. C. Horton promises to be more fruit- ful than in any preceding year. The personnel could not be finer and with added women, all of them thoroughly tested and tried, the outlook is most happy. The women are eignt in num- ber and the calls upon their time and strength are almost more than they can meet. The churches recognize their worth, and wcrk with them harmonious- ly, as there is no sectarian teaching al- lowed.

From this work springs numberless personal cases for special dealing until assurance of sal- vation and joy in the Lord results in lives of many. These classes average 75 or 100 per month, with as many more addresses in churches and before vari- ous societies.

There are several classes in school and colleges and as it has been impos- sible to refuse requests irom Sunday schools, every Bible Woman is at work each Sunday morning. Endless peti- tions for help in every variety and from every quarter are responded to as the women find it possible. Through their agency a number of homes have been reconstructed on the true basis and alienations have been changed to har- mony and peace; waywardness and rebellion have given place to submission to God, and sin has been recognized as sin and fought and overcome by the help of the Mighty One. Conferences and prayer circles are held as seems wise in many localities and the blessing of God follows each effort. There are a number of classes in surrounding small towns where the
