Mr. Frances M. Ford returned yesterday
morning from New York, where r.he at
teaded the ecumenical conference on for
eign missions as a representative of tbe
Woman's Board of Interior Mission Work
the headquarters of which are in Cbl as
This afternoon Mrs. Ford will deliver an
addree in the Young Men's Christian ass -elation
room., giving an account of 'tx
conference aad her trip. Mrs. Ford w.u !c;u
epcally with interesting Incidents and fca
lure, many of which were not noted in tie
telegraphic reports of the great conclaxe
The ecumenical conference, being national
In scope, brought together representatht rf
almoet every par. of the globe. It con
vened in New York City April II and con
tinued tea days.
' I saw aad heard so much." said Mrs
Ford, "that I hardly know- where to begin
aad where to quit in my narrattve. It wa
by large odds the greatest conferen- e I
have ever atteaded In fact such meeting
do not occur very often. The last etie
before this was held In London In Hi, r A
It w-as not on e uch an extensive scale. J :st
to give- an idea of the vast crowd that ga-h-erad
at the opening session I may mention
that Carnegie hll, the mwtlag place, has a
seating capacity of 5,K. This was over
taxed and two overflow meetings numbering
thousands were he-Id ia nelghbonae places
s -The presence of Presidesit McKinley was
of course an attraction, yet the major.ty of
those in attendance seemed to have heart
and soul devoteil to hearing the story of a s
slonary work as related by those who bavo
had long years' experience in foreign coua
trletf. It was a congress of aatioas la all
the term implies. There wa a man from
India who attracted much attention. When
the question of place and date for the next
meeting came up he made a speech in favor
of Bombay. Me is a converted Hindoo, but
he Is still loyal to hU native country.
"Mlse Helen Gould was a prominent figure
in the conference. She as one of the most
liberal coatrlbutors to the expense fund, the
aggregate cost of the convention amounting
to 141.000. Russell Sace. John D. Rocke
feller and other men of national' repute also
appearc-1 frequently. It would require a
volume to give the names of the noted mis
sionaries in attendance. They came from
all over the world aad some of them re
lated thrilling stories of encounters w.th
cannibals and other fierce tribes. For tbe
meat part, however, the time was de-voted to
aa exchanre cf notes relative to the beit ,
methods of doing successful missionary work
