Tuesday afternoon was Ladies’ Day, and in unusually large numbers
they assembled at the mass meeting of the Women’s Missionary Aid
Societies, representatives being present from Leicester, Salem, the
Highlands, and the Centre. Mrs. J. Alex. Christie, president of the
local society, presided. After devotional exercises, Mrs. J. G.
Harding gave an interesting and inspiring Historical Sketch of the
Amherst Missionary Society. Mrs. Harding is one of the oldest
members of the society, a lady, who has been closely identified with
its growth through all its years, and her earnestness in mission
work has been a great factor in the growth of the society.
