THE WOMAN'S HOME MISSIONARY SOCIETY
At the close of the prayer meeting on the evening of February 4, 1876, a meeting of the women of the congregation was held at the call of the pastor, Rev. Jolm James, D. D., to consider the needs of the Home Mission Field, and to form plans for some

definite work along that line. The result of that meeting was the organization of the " Woman's Home Missionary Society " and the election of Mrs. I. V. W. Grant as its first president.
As no Woman's Board of Home Missions existed at that time, with special objects for women's societies under its care, the newly organized society pledged itself to contribute the sum of $250 annually toward the salary of a Home Mission Pastor in some field in the West with whom the Society should be in correspondence and who should be known as its Missionary.
After consultation with the officers of the Board of Home Missions, Rev. J. F. Watkins was accepted as the representative, he being the pastor of a newly organized church in Weather- ford, Texas, then on our far Southwestern frontier. Much interest was aroused in Mr. Watkins' work, and several valu- able gifts were sent to the church among them a silver Com- munion Service, a Pulpit Bible, a Sabbath School library, and funds for repairs and improvements. The contributions to this church were continued for a number of years, and during the pastorates of several ministers who succeeded Mr. Watkins, but eventually changed conditions in the town made it seem advisable to discontinue the work, as the Southern Presbyterian Church was conducting a large and flourishing church, and the Board felt that other fields were in greater need of assistance.
From Weatherford the Society transferred its interest and its gifts to a number of other fields. all equally in need of religious privileges. Churches in Kansas and in Indian Terri- tory were assigned, and gifts sent to them, and also to two interesting churches in new towns in Dakota, one at Devil's Lake and the other at Parker, South Dakota. The support of Rev. T. B. Boughton at Parker was continued until the church became self-supporting. Very interesting and delightful rela- tions existed between Mr. Boughton and the Society as his home before entering upon IIome Mission work, had been in Troy, and on one or two occasions during visits to his former home, he was present at meetings, and gave much inspiration by his account of the encouraging work in which he was engaged
As time passed, appeals reached the Society from the newly organized Woman's Executive Committee of Home Missions for objects to which they were pledged, and funds were appropri-

ated to assist them. The needs of the Mormons in Utah and the natives of Alaska being remembered in these gifts. In 1883 at the suggestion of the Board of Home Missions the Society decided to work through the Albany Presbyterial Society, then a new organization, still continuing the support of a Home Mission Pastor, but in addition contributing to the educational work carried on by the Woman's Board to which all other women's societies were auxiliary.
After some years, the general reorganization of the work of the Boards made necessary an entire change in the methods of the Society. All salaries were then assumed by the Assembly Board of Home Missions, and the educational work was assigned to the Woman's Board, working through the Presbyterial societies, and so reaching each individual church. From a desire loyally to co-operate with the policy outlined by the Board, the Society transferred its entire gifts to the mission schools under the care of the Albany Presbyterial Society, and they have since that time been proportionately divided between the salaries of teachers among the Mountaineers, Freedmen, Alaskans, Indians, Mormons, and Porto Ricans.
During each year of its history work of a philanthropic char- acter has been done, such as the sending of boxes and barrels of clothing and household comforts to needy ministers, some in the far western part of our country and others in destitute sections of this State, and frequently large boxes of clothing, books and toys to mission schools under the care of the Board. Several times furnishings for rooms in new buildings erected for edu- cational work have been supplied. A room in the Normal and Collegiate Institute at Aslieville, North Carolina bears the name of Jennie Van Duzen Holmes, having been furnished and named for the wife of Rev. John McClellan Holmes, D. D .; and at the Mary Potter School at Oxford, North Carolina, a room in the Helen A. Wells building is a memorial to a beloved member of the Society, Miss Anna Pittman Erwin. Contributions have also been made at several different times to the teachers home at Embudo, New Mexico, which was erected by the Albany Pres- byterial Society to commemorate its silver anniversary and named in honor of Miss Augusta H. Lockwood, for many years its efficient treasurer. The records of the Society show many

other gifts which space will not permit mentioning but all for extension of the cause of Christ in our land, or for the relief of the temporal needs of some faithful worker. Since its organ- ization over $15,000 has been contributed and the funds have been raised by the same method as that adopted by the Foreign Society, and have changed from time to time as conditions have demanded. At present the women of the Church very generally contribute to the work, and all are considered by virtue of their membership in the Church as members of the Missionary Society. It has been the aim of the Society since the beginning to share in whatever work has been suggested by the Boards and to be loyal to the policies outlined by them.
As the history of these years is reviewed the names of many devoted workers who have faithfully labored for the interests of the Society are recalled; but none with more affectionate regard than that of Miss Julia E. Van Vliet who for many years devoted the best energies of an unusually gifted nature to its work, and since she has passed to her reward, the memory of her beautiful life will long remain as an inspiration to all who knew of her devotion to the cause of missions both at home and abroad. Others have served in the capacity of president with loving and unselfish devotion, Mrs. I. V. W. Grant, its first president, Mrs. William T. Valentine, Mrs. Edward M. Carpenter and Mrs. Charles G. Sewall, its last president and who now holds the office of president of the Woman's Mis- sionary Society of the Church, present conditions having led the officers to feel that the best interests of the work will be furthered by merging both Home and Foreign Societies into one organization whose object shall be the advancement of Christ's kingdom in every part of the world.

THE WOMAN'S FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY
On the ninth day of April, in the year 1871 as a result of interest and enthusiasm aroused in connection with the departure of several missionaries for the African Field, a Society called the " Woman's Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church of Albany " was organized, The following day, April tenth, as an auxiliary to this Board, and authorized by the Session, the "Woman's Foreign Mission-
66
The State Street Presbyterian Church
ary Society of the State St. Presbyterian Church," began its existence. The president was Mrs. Daniel J. Pratt, and the missionaries to whose support the Society contributed, were the Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Stocking of Urumia, Persia, whose daughter Miss Anna W. Stocking, represents our "Woman's Presbyterial Society " in that country at the present time. Later Mrs. James T. Bassett became the missionary at Urumia, and in 1874 the Society assumed the support of Farrha Haddad, one of a class of three girls graduated from the Seminary at Beirut who were the first women to receive a diploma in Syria. Farrha Haddad became a teacher in that institute, and represented the interests of the Society there until the year 1890, when the Seminary becoming practically self-supporting, the money sub- scribed for her salary was devoted to the general work of the Board.
In 1879 Mrs. Bassett having been obliged to return to this country, Miss Emily Gordon Bird was chosen as the Society's representative abroad. Miss Bird was the daughter of the late Rev. William and Sarah Gordon Bird, of Abeih, Syria, and was especially fitted by inheritance and education for the work to which she so nobly gave her life. For thirty-one years, the women of the State Street Church have kept in sympathy with her work, as one and another have received her kindly messages while with a charm peculiarly her own she brought them in close touch with their sisters in far away Lebanon. Through her influence in 1881 the "Band of Earnest Workers " under the leadership of Miss E. Estelle Haight was formed among the young girls of the Church, and encouraged by her example and deep personal interest, has done most efficient work in the educat- ing of girls in the Syrian schools. This band celebrated its silver anniversary in 1906. Miss Bird was called to higher service August 14, 1910. We cannot think of her as dead, for, "in the way of righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death."
In 1879 Mrs. Pratt was succeeded as president of the Society by Mrs. I. V. W. Grant, who remained in office two years. Mrs. Helen K. MeHarg was then elected in 1881 and continued presi- dent until 1887.
67
The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society
In 1886 the Woman's Presbyterian Foreign Missionary Society of Northern New York, having pledged $3,000 for the erection of Mission buildings in the Island of Hainan, a number of shares were taken by this Society and issued at the rate of twenty-five cents a piece. As a result the sum of fifty dollars was con- tributed to this object. The Society then decided to assume the salary of Rev. Mr. Jeremiassen, the native pastor at Hainan, and continued this support for several years.
In 1887 Mrs. Archibald McClure was elected president and continued as such until 1896.
The following have held the office of president during the succeeding years :
Mrs. Helen K. McHarg. 1896-98
Mrs. Baxter T. Smelzer 1898-01
Mrs. John J. Lawrence. 1901-05
Miss Emma Van Denburg
1905-09
Mrs. Robert C. James. 1909-II
Mrs. Charles G. Sewall 19II-
During the first twelve years of the Society's existence the money required for carrying on the work, was raised by divid- ing the congregation into bands, a collector being appointed for each band, so that every woman connected with the Church was given an opportunity of contributing to the work. In 1883 the plan suggested " that our subscriptions take the form of a free- will offering, and be deposited in the missionary boxes placed at the entrance of the Church " was carried out, and has continued to be the plan until the present time, with but one innovation in 1905, when a number of our women pledged themselves to monthly subscriptions, and envelopes were furnished, in which these offerings are placed and deposited in the boxes near the vestibule doors. The amount contributed by this Society during the forty years of its existence, amounts approximately to the sum of $17,000.
At the last annual meeting held March II, 1911, it was decided to unite the Home and Foreign Societies, under the broader title of " The Woman's Missionary Society of the State Street Presbyterian Church " and the earnest desire of all con- nected with the Society is that these united forces may "in His

THE WOMAN'S GUILD
The Woman's Guild has nearly completed its first decade, having been organized in December, 1901.
The presidents who have directed its work are the following :
Mrs. Arthur L. Andrews,
Mrs. Arthur W. Elting,
Mrs. DeWitt C. Slingerland,
Mrs. William McDonald,
Mrs. James F. Mckown.
The past presidents each served for two terms, and the present incumbent, Mrs. McKown, has just been elected to her third term. Since its organization the Guild has distributed thousands of garments to the needy, the number sent out during the year just closed being 321, of which 142 were made by the Guild and 179 were from the " Emergency Box." Valuable aid has also been rendered to families in sickness and distress.
The money contributed to the Guild since its organization amounts to $1, 119.96, of which $947.94 has been disbursed.
" Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these, ye did it unto Me."
THE MEN'S CLUB
The Men's Club was organized on February 19, 1907, as the " Brotherhood of the State St. Presbyterian Church of Albany," its object being to promote a spirit of good fellowship and mutual improvement among the men of the Church. Its first officers were :
Gardner C. Leonard, president ;
Albert M. Reed, vice-president ;
Noel S. Bennett, secretary, and Benjamin R. Hoff, treasurer.
The meetings are held monthly from October to May, usu- ally in the Session room, but sometimes in the houses of the members.
Very many instructive and entertaining lectures and talks, often illustrated by lantern slides, have been given, both by

outsiders and by members, the initial one being "A Cruise in the Mediterranean," by Rear-Admiral Strong.
The Club also, in the summer of 1909, raised the sum of $350 for the Vacation School which was carried on in conjunction with the Men's Club of the Emanuel Baptist Church.
Its later presidents have been: Albert M. Reed, Albert H. Moore and Kenneth C. Ogden.
THE FLOWER COMMITTEE
For many years it has been the custom to place fresh flowers in the pulpit on the Sabbath. The funds for their purchase were formerly provided by the Trustees, and frequently by individuals, one member of the Church at one time generously donating the amount regularly for a number of years. They are now contributed by members of the congregation. The work was done by groups of the young people, sometimes known as the " Flower Committee." The present one was organized in 1909, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Wm. B. Aspinwall, with an enrollment of twenty-five young lady members, who, each in turn, take supervision of the arranging of the flowers for the pulpit and of their distribution among the sick of the congre- gation.
On the occasion of the Lincoln Centenary Celebration, in February, 1909, this Committee presented to the Church a large and beautiful American flag, which gracious courtesy was ap- preciated, and the flag has been used for decorative purposes upon several patriotic and social occasions.
