Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seventeenth Annual Report of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, for 1894-95: Including Minutes of the Seventeenth Annual Meeting of the Woman's Board of Foreign Missions, Held in Meridian, Miss., May 10-15, 1895 At Soochow, the boarding school, the day schools, and hospital, are all doing well. I was gratified at the reports presented. The observations I was able to make confirm those cheering statements. I saw the work of the boarding school, and hospital, but could not visit all the day schools. These are well located, so that the children attend the Sunday schools at our two churches in the city. I indorse most heartily the application of Dr. Walter for a children's ward in the hospital. The annual meeting was an occasion of great spiritual blessing. Many important questions involving practical administration and business adjust ments were freely discussed. There was harmony of Spirit and purpose, and only such differences of opinion as are necessary to healthy growth. The relation of the work and workers to the missions and missionaries of the Parent Boar I, I found harmonious and helpful.
