First Annual Report of the Woman's Missionary Council of The Methodist Episcopal Church, South, for 1910-1911 . olars followed herexample; so we had some doubts as to her earnestness. However, as Jwas going to the annual meeting she came to me and asked if I couldgive her some song books and Bibles, as she had planned at the open- 312 womans missioxauy council. ing of her school the next week to have a special exercise and ask allthe girls who were willing to believe and go to church regularly to puttheir names down and each take a song book and Bible.
