Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seventeenth Annual Report of the Woman's Home Mission Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South Among the events which make this a memorable year was the action of the General Conference in creating the office of deaconess and committing the development of the plan and government of their work to the Woman's Home Mission Society. This emphasizes the position of our work among the connectional forces of the Church, and With the trust gives increased responsibility. Since the last meeting of the Board our Father has called Sister Fannie P. Clarke, Corresponding Secretary of the North Georgia Conference Society, to service in another realm. We miss her sorely; but death is only an incident in life, and we look to another day when our happy companionship will be renewed. We are grateful for the memory of her beautiful service while in our midst. A quickened interest is demonstrated by the increased demand for general information about the work which has come daily to the office, and a wider dissemination of printed matter has placed the aim and scope of the organization in the hands of more readers than ever before. This we count as a promise of growth, for when once the work is understood it is. Bound to commend itself to those who seek the social betterment and evangelization of our people.
