9TH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WOMAN

Excerpt from Ninth Annual Report of the Woman's Missionary Society: North Carolina Conference, M. E. Church, South, Held in Hay Street Church, Fayetteville, N. C., May 17-20, 1921What has our Conference wrought during the year 1925? Can; it be said that members paying into the Council treasury and the thousands of dollars into the local work can write our history for last year? No, far from it, 'but rather if one could look into the hearts of the members and see there the real con secration and new dedication and self-denial that have grown in the lives of us, as individuals, during the past year, then the real growth of the North Carolina Conference could be determined. Dr. D. J. Fleming so wisely says, Not the number of missionaries nor the annual expenditures of societies, but the character of life that is lived by those who profess Christ will determine success or fail ure of missions.How can we as a body of women, young people and children answer that mighty challenge to our Christianity? How much of self have we given to the cause Of Christ? Not how many dollars did we report last year through our auxiliary is the real test. Is there danger that the dollar might get so close to the eye Of even an American Missionary Society that we can't see beyond it? On the other hand, the dollar will always come from the life that knows real self-denial.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
