Excerpt from Thirty-Second Annual Report of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 1900-1901 Park Avenue Church, Philadelphia, was the family home of the General Executive Committee for one week from October 30 to Novem ber 6. This family was composed of thirty-nine members, officers, delegates and Literature Committee. A small but representative company, coming from very many States, from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. F orty-two missionaries, a few representing the General Missionary Society, but the majority, who were the Society's workers, were present, to give information, and from varied and wide experiences to awaken enthusiasm. The Sunday School room in which the Committee held its sessions was convenient, and beautifully decorated with flags and emblems, and each day fresh flowers were placed upon altar and tables. The entire church was admirably adapted to such a meeting, whi1e Dr. Mcmullan, the genial pastor, and the able and attentive Committees did everything in their power for the comfort and convenience of all in attendance. The days were crowded from nine in the morning until ten at night. The distances in the city from the church, where many were entertained, were great, but for convenience, dinner and supper were provided in the church, and there was a fellowship of kindred hearts about the board. The weather during the days was clear and mild, not a drop of rain to dampen either mortal bodies or spirits.
