The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Adrián district met in the Methodist church on Wednesday and Thursday last. About 100 delegates seventy of whom were not residents of Ann Arbor, were in attendance. Dr. Meta Howard, a returned missionary from Corea, and Miss Rose Bower, from África, were present. The former delivered two interesting addresses. Another able paper was the "Romance of Egyptian Misuions," by Rev. C. M# Cobern, who has traveled extensively in Egypt and is well known as an antequarian. Mrs. Cobern treated in a forcible manner, "The Iniluence of Missions upon the Church." The other Ann Arbor ladies taking part were: Miss Olive Wines, who gave a recitation; Miss Alice Cramer. who sang a solo; Miss Winnie Depew, who recited, "A Penny a Day;" Miss Grace Hendrickson, who gave a violin solo; Miss Margaret Carhart, who reoited, "Not in Vain," and Miss Lucy Cole, who sang a solo. All the old oflicers of the society were re-elected, except the secretary. Mrs. W. J. Johnson, of this city, will continue to act as treasurer. Resolutions were adoptod, thanking the Ann Arbor people heartily for their hospitality. The sessions of the society were interesting and showed that the ladies were enthusiastic in behalf of missions.
