The report of the Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. S. M. Woodcock, gave contributions in cash of $1089.17; in "boxes," value, $657.47; an aggregate of $1756.64; and thirty-seven auxiliaries, being a gain of ten over the report of 1883, at the time of organization; four of these having been organized through the instrumentality of Miss F. A. Dyer, who visited in the spring as Synodical Secretary many of the churches and societies of the Presbytery in the interest of the work.


The Treasurer, Mrs. John M. Bailey, reported money sent through her $866.94 ; the discrepancy between her report and that of the Corre -. sponding Secretary being accounted for by the fact that Mrs. Woodcock gave amounts, collected from the blanks sent to her, dating from April I, 1883, to April, 1884; while Mrs. Bailey's receipts were from October, 1883, to October, 1884; and also that churches, societies, and individuals require "line upon line, precept upon precept," before they will learn to follow rules for systematic work, and, notwithstanding repeated direc- tions to the contrary, money was sent direct to New York to Mrs. M. E. Boyd, Treasurer of the Woman's Executive Committee, instead of to the Presbyterial Treasurer.


It was decided that hereafter only money sent through the Presbyterial Treasurer would be reported or credited to auxiliaries, and that the Presbyterial year would close September 30. The President, Secretaries, and Treasurer were re-elected for the ensuing year, with some changes in

the list of Vice-Presidents. Mrs. R. H. Shaw, of Clearfield, Mrs. Emma W. McCoy, of Tyrone, and Mrs. Emily W. Kuhn, of Altoona First Church, being added, or taking the places of those retiring; Mrs. Wil- liam H. Woods, of Huntingdon, and Miss Ida Dull, of Lewistown, were made Superintendents of Bands; Miss Lida N. Wilson, of Port Royal, given charge of Sunday-School work; and Mrs. J. L. Russell, of Altoona Second Church, appointed as Secretary of Freedmen's Department, as the support of schools under the care of the Board for Freedmen had been undertaken in 1884 by the Woman's Executive Committee of Home Missions, in addition to that already assumed among the Indians, Mexi- cans, and Mormons.


Mrs. F. E. H. Haines met again with the society in this its first annual gathering, and gave a most interesting account of the missions in Alaska and Utah, which she had visited during the summer. Mrs. Darwin R. James, of Washington, D.C., First Vice-President of the Woman's Executive Committee (now its able President), spoke on the " Destiny of our Nation," showing America, a nation set in the midst of the world, as a Christianizer of all nations, as they are brought to our doors by immigration. Miss F. A. Dyer urged upon societies, and treasurers of auxiliaries, to be prompt and exact in their reports and payments, as the smoothness and success of the work begins here, and related instances of the great sacrifices made by missionary teachers, working under hardships and difficulties, isolated from companionship, with poor accommodations for their schools or their own comfort.


The second annual convocation was held in Tyrone, October I and 2. The public meeting October I was addressed by Rev. Dr. R. H. Allen, Secretary of the Freedmen's Board, and Rev. J. L. Russell, of Altoona Second Church.


On Friday, October 2, Mrs. R. H. Allen, secretary for this depart- ment of the Woman's Board, pleaded in eloquent words for help for freed- women and their children. Mrs. A. P. Happer, missionary to China, testified to the assistance rendered to the work abroad by the loyal sup- port of the home work.


Mrs. Charles L. Bailey and Mrs. Thomas L. Wallace, of Harrisburg, of the Presbytery of Carlisle, gave valuable suggestions as to methods of work, and the devotional spirit they brought with them was very help- ful. The reports of the Corresponding Secretary and Treasurer showed increase in money and membership; but we may not follow the progress of the society-even in outline-through the years. The Treasurer can

give the records of the past, as shown by her receipts, but God only knows what he has recorded of earnest prayers, of self-denials and sacrifices, and " the constraining love" which prompted the gifts.


Some of the early workers have folded their hands and gone to re- ceive their reward, and will long "be remembered by what they have done;" among these must be mentioned Mrs. S. M. Woodcock, the efficient, faithful Corresponding Secretary, and Mrs. Charlotte Irvine, First Vice-President, who with Mrs. Tucker organized the Alaske Club, of Hollidaysburg Church, the first boys' band for home missions in the Presbytery.


Mrs. R. H. Allen and Mrs. F. E. H. Haines have also " passed into the skies," but have left their monuments in schools founded as " light- houses amidst the surrounding darkness," and in many, many lives re- deemed and blessed, through the knowledge of the gospel of the Son of God.


It is of interest to remember that Mrs. Haines was the daughter of Mr. Wilder, of New York, who educated and sent Jonas King, the first missionary to Syria, and paid his salary there, when the American Board of Foreign Missions was in its infancy. In her youth Miss Wilder had expected to go as a foreign missionary, but God had other work for her, and the way was not opened to carry out her plan of life.


Of the ministers of the Presbytery who aided in the beginning of this work, M. N. Cornelius, George Elliott, and J. C. Barr have rested from labor and gone home; while Father Prideaux, in his eighty-third year, and Dr. O. O. McClean are waiting with faces turned eastward, their feet touching the brink, ready to cross the river when the summons comes.


Some societies have dropped out by the way, and a number of bands have been merged in the Society of Christian Endeavor, but we hope that contributions to home missions will not be lost, although they may go by a different channel.


At the third meeting, October 7 and 8, 1886, at Huntingdon, Miss Mary T. Elder, of Lewistown, and Mrs. N. C. Barclay, of Altoona, were elected to take charge of bands, and Miss Mary S. Coolbroth, of Holli- daysburg, as Assistant Corresponding Secretary.


At the fourth meeting, at Mount Union, October 1 and 2, 1887, Mrs. Dorris having declined re-election, Mrs. J. L. Russell was made Presi- dent ; owing to removal from the Presbytery of Mrs. J. C. Barr, Record- ing Secretary, Miss Annie I. Clarke, of Tyrone, was elected to that

office ; and Miss S. H. Hutchinson, of Altoona, as Corresponding Secre- tary, in place of Mrs. S. M. Woodcock, resigned.


Mrs. Dr. Freeman and Mrs. H. O. Fisher, of Huntingdon, were made Secretaries of the Freedmen's Department, left vacant by Mrs. Russell's election to the Presidency. Rev. J. L. Russell having accepted a call to Los Angeles, California, Miss Annie M. Irvine was elected President, at Clearfield, October 4, 1889, and in this, the twelfth year of the Presby- terial Society, is still its honored leader.


In the spring of 1890 Miss Annie I. Clarke, Recording Secretary, died, beloved and regretted by all who knew her, and Mrs. A. M. Laporte, of Tyrone, filled the vacancy until the meeting at Hollidays- burg, in the fall of 1890, when she was elected to the office. At the same meeting the bands were put in charge of Mrs. L. S. Landis, of Hollidaysburg, in place of Miss Elder, resigned.


In 1891 Mrs. A. H. Jolly was given the care of the work in Sab- bath-schools, succeeded by Mrs. M. W. Thompson, of Altoona, in 1893.


In 1892 Miss Hutchinson, Corresponding Secretary, resigned, and Miss Clara Bain, of Altoona, was chosen, and remained in office until 1894, when at the meeting in Bellwood, that year, Mrs. W. B. Miller, of Altoona, was elected.


In 1893 Mrs. J. A. Knight, of Lewistown, was made Secretary of Literature.


At the twelfth meeting, in Huntingdon, 1895, all of the officers were re-elected.


The following financial statement has been furnished by the Presby- terial Treasurer, Mrs. John M. Bailey, who has remained faithfully at her post through all of these changes.

Sarah T. McAlister, of the Lost Creek Church; and from the Tyrone Auxiliary a legacy of five hundred dollars, from Mrs. Elizabeth Harnish. The three hundred dollars from Lost Creek were applied to the building for the school at Hot Springs, North Carolina, and the five hundred dollars legacy from Tyrone to the building of the chapel at Jackson, Alaska, which is to be named for Mrs. Harnish. In 1893 the Alexandria Society paid a legacy of ninety-five dollars left to them by Mrs. Mary Dorris Shaw, which was applied to the building fund.

Only thirty-one of the seventy-six churches of the Presbytery are represented in the contributions of 1895, although the auxiliaries num- ber sixty-nine. Many of the non-contributing churches are weak, but the Pine Grove Society, numbering only four members, and sometimes only two at the monthly meeting, by their contributions to both home and foreign missions shows what can be done if there be first a " willing mind."


The money and box valuations reported here by no means repre- sent all the contributions of the women of Huntingdon Presbytery, for scholarships have been sustained, the money for which did not pass through the hands of the Presbyterial Treasurer, and boxes sent which which were not reported to her.


In these days it would be time wasted to discuss the advantages of organization, for, as the Rev. Dr. Maxwell says, " Twenty-five intelligent, earnest Christian women working methodically and systematically can accomplish more than one hundred having neither plan nor concert of effort."


" Woman's work in home missions" needs now no apology. The results speak for it. "Men may come and men may go," but it has come to stay, as long as it may be needed.


God's blessing has accompanied it, not only to those whom it reached out to help but to the women engaged in it. The gain to them cannot be measured, and all that they gave he has given back in full measure, " pressed down and running over." It has not only the sanction of the ministers now, but other boards and agencies of the church, beside the Home and Foreign, are calling with Macedonian importunity, "Come over and help us."


361


OF THE PRESBYTERY OF HUNTINGDON.


It has not hurt woman's work in foreign missions, as was feared, for home missions are the real support of foreign, and in the upbuilding of the church at home lies its strength. In proportion as we lengthen the " cords" the " stakes" must be strengthened or there will be certain collapse.


Among the causes and influences that led up to woman's work in missions her part in the prayer-meeting might have been mentioned, as not only the secret of her strength but the power of the church to accom- plish anything for Christ must be found in prevailing prayer. "The first Christian church in Europe had its origin in a woman's prayer- meeting, and now such meetings gird the round earth," and the answer comes back in " showers of blessing."


Dr. J. H. Mathers says, "In the church of my childhood, Mifflin- town and Lost Creek, the prayer-meetings were always maintained by the faithful women. Often no representative of the other sex was present at all. The lot in which our church stood, and where the Presbyterians of that region worshipped for many years, was the bequest to the con- gregation of the widow of John Harris; and one of her relatives, subse- quently, was a pillar in the church,-a saintly woman, who acted as superintendent of the Sunday-school, leading in prayer, and helping in every way,-Miss Mary Bryson. I have no doubt that every other con- gregation in the Presbytery was indebted to such faithful, devout women. We were accustomed to look on ' Aunt Polly Bryson' as a saint."


Woman's zeal in advancing the temperance reform, which has devel- oped so marvellously in the present age, and been a help to the churches of all denominations, is well known. "Father Hunt's" campaign through the Presbytery and the "Sons of Temperance" movement were aided by her quiet influence and voice at home if not, as now, in the public gath- erings. Not far from the spot where the red men of the Juniata reared the "Standing Stone" of the tribes stands now the "Standing Stone Chapel," with open doors and a warm welcome for all the children that will enter to be taught the way of life,-a testimony to the work of three young women who began their teachings under the trees on the hill-side, with only the sky for a roof.


It is said "the early English Baptists were opposed to singing in public worship, but some contended that men only should sing, as women were to keep ' silent in the churches.'" Those days have gone, with the old things passed away, and woman may teach in the Sunday-school, and sing, and even talk, if she has a message ; but the message she must

proclaim is the one given to her by her Lord,-"Go tell quickly, he is risen, he is risen indeed."


YOUNG PEOPLE'S SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.


BY REV. HARVEY GRÆME FURBAY, PH.D.


INVESTIGATION, as shown in the following table, brings no report of an organization which was distinctly for the young people in the churches of this Presbytery previous to 1874.


Between 1874 and 1888, a period of fourteen years, we have reported to us but six religious societies for young people in our churches. The first one in point of age was in the Tyrone First. It was organized by Rev. S. M. Moore, D.D., 1874, after a revival, and was simply a prayer- meeting for young men. This was sustained for a number of years, how long we have been unable to learn.


The Altoona Second, in 1875, organized a young people's society, but there are no records preserved of it, and we can tell nothing about it.


We find that in 1876 the Westminster Church of Mifflintown started a similar meeting for the young people, and that was continued until 1888.


In 1879, in the Sinking Valley Church at Arch Springs, a young people's band was formed called the Sinking Valley Gleaners. This organization was for the twofold purpose of beneficent and benevolent work, and existed for a number of years, and has to its credit the raising of something over seven hundred dollars in that rural district.


In 1884 one of the most interesting societies of this Presbytery was organized by James Macklin at McVeytown, and was called the Young People's Christian Association. Quoting from a published constitution which they issued at that time, "This association has for its object the study of the Bible and active work in the Master's kingdom, trusting that the results may be for the general good of the community and the spiritual benefits of its members. It is proposed to do active work, first, by furnishing Bibles or Testaments free to those who wish them, yet who cannot afford to purchase; also religious newspapers and other religious literature ; second, by providing the deserving poor of the community with the needed comforts of life. We desire to do this work quietly and inobtrusively, and hope thus to reach those who otherwise


363


OF THE PRESBYTERY OF HUNTINGDON.


could not be approached ; should you know of any such, please notify the president or secretary of the association." This society seems to have been the nearest approach to the Young People's Society of Chris- tian Endeavor, and was eminently successful in the work which it carried on under the direction of Mr. Macklin in McVeytown. This society existed until it was merged into the Christian Endeavor Society in 1891.


The next society for young people was organized in the First Church of Altoona in 1886, called the Young People's Society. It might be mentioned in the Alexandria Church there was a Young Men's League, designed for special work of young men along Christian lines, but the date was not given us in the data furnished.


In 1887, also, the Philipsburg Church organized a prayer-meeting for young people. And with these notices, of all the churches in our Presbytery with whom we had communication, these few alone had any organized work for young people previous to the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor. Of course, in making this statement, we presume that all understand that we have knowledge of the existence of the Sunday-schools, but young people's work, as it is now understood, is a branch of activity distinct and apart from Sunday-school work.


Probably the most important of the young people's societies which obtain in this Presbytery is the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor. I have made careful inquiry to learn, if possible, in what church the first Christian Endeavor Society was organized. According to the replies of the various societies and churches which I have at hand, the society in the Lewistown Church is the oldest in the Presbytery, having been organized in September, 1887, by Miss Mary J. Elder, now Mrs. William G. Brinton, of Oxford, Pennsylvania. She writes me say- ing that, to the best of her knowledge, the facts concerning the organi- zation of this society are as follows : She had been visiting in Oxford, Pennsylvania, her present home, and there, for the first time, saw a Chris- tian Endeavor Society. She came home and told her pastor, the Rev. John Gourley, of her impressions concerning the work and possibilities of this organization, and, after a conference with a number of the young people, it was determined to institute such an organization in the Lewis- town Church, which was done on the above-named date. Whatever credit or honor is due for the introduction of this organization in this Presbytery seems to belong to this church, this young lady, and this pastor.


The next society was organized at Huntingdon, February 4, 1888,


364


THE CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY.


by Dr. Freeman. Then followed the one at Mifflintown, February 17,- Emma Hayes has the distinction of having originated this one. The next at Tyrone, February 27, by their pastor, Dr. Davies.


There were some four or five societies organized in the year of 1889, but of the fifty-seven societies now as reporting to me, by far the largest number of them were organized during the years of 1891 and 1892. And since 1892 there have been but seven societies organized.


The origin, growth, and development to the present date of young people's work within our churches in this Presbytery is indicated in the appended table. Aside from the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor, we have but two other accredited organizations for young people, excepting the Mission Bands,-namely, the Boys' Brigade and the Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip. The Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip was first organized in this Presbytery at Philipsburg by the Rev. H. F. Means, March 16, 1894. The need for this organization seemed to be felt after special meetings had been held during the winter of 1893 and 1894, which resulted in an addition to the church of quite a number of young men and older boys. A desire had been expressed on the part of some for a young men's prayer-meeting. This organized with thirty-three active members. The brotherhood has maintained a regular weekly prayer service on Friday evening, and holds several open- air meetings during the summer.


The Boys' Brigade existing in the Second Church of Altoona seems to be the first one organized. This was done April 1, 1895, by Rev. H. H. Stiles.
