Refrain: Publish glad tidings; Tidings of peace; Tidings of Jesus, Redemption and release. Behold how many thousands still are lying Bound in the darksome prison-house of sin, With none to tell them of the Saviour’s dying, Or of the life he died for them to win. *Tis thine to save from peril of perdition The souls for whom the Lord his life laid down: Beware lest, slothful to fulfill thy mission, Thou lose one jewel that should deck his crown. Proclaim to every people, tongue, and nation That God, in whom they live and move, is love: Tell how he stooped to save his lost creation, And died on earth that man might live above. Give of thy sons to bear the message glorious; Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way: Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious; And all thou spendest Jesus will repay. He comes again; O Zion, ere thou meet him, Make known to every heart his saving grace; Let none whom he hath ransomed fail to greet him, Through thy neglect, unfit to see his face.

W. Parker, all of whom had been missionaries in India, and with the special assistance of Mrs. Lewis Flanders of Tremont Street Church, Boston, a meeting of Methodist women was held in that church. It was a very stormy day, and but few were present. Mrs. Flanders presided. After due consideration, the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episco- pal Church was organized, with the following charter members: Mrs. William Butler, Mrs. E. W. Parker, Mrs. Lewis Flanders, Mrs. Thomas A. Rich, Mrs. William B. Merrill, Mrs. Thomas Kingsbury, Mrs. O. T. Taylor and Mrs. H. J. Stoddard. The first missionaries sent to the field by this new organiza- tion were Miss Isabella Thoburn of Ohio, and Dr. Clara A. Swain of New York. Both sailed from New York for India on Novem- ber 3, 1869, and reached their destination in January, 1870. In 1919 this Society will complete the first fifty years of its history, and its “Year of Jubilee” will have come. The Society has decided to observe fittingly this Jubilee in a five-year celebration, the plans for which are here set forth. <> JUBILEE ORGANIZATION NATIONAL COMMISSION Mrs. Joun F.

BRANCH SUPERVISOR A Key Woman, designated as Jubilee Supervisor, shall be selected by each Branch. Her duties shall be as follows: 1. She shall endeavor in every possible way to create, stimu- late and maintain Jubilee activity in her territory. 2. She shall attend to the thorough circulation, through her Branch depot of supplies, of such literature as shall be prepared relating to the Jubilee. 8. She shall furnish to each Conference Secretary the pro rata share of that conference in the Jubilee advance, as deter- mined by the Branch Advisory Council. 4. She shall secure the appointment in each society in her Branch of one Key Woman, designated Jubilee Secretary. 5. She shall receive and transmit reports as specified in sec- tion headed “Reporting.”’ So far as is possible, she shall preserve all pennants, programs and devices used to promote and stimulate interest in the Jubilee throughout her territory during the five Jubilee years. ‘These will be used as a part of the great Exhibit at the final Jubilee Meeting in 1919. 6. She will give herself unto prayer, with our National and Branch officers and with the great sisterhood of which we are alla part, that the God whom we seek to make known to the ends of the earth will glorify His name in crowning this great Jubilee movement with success. BRANCH ADVISORY COUNCIL There shall be in each Branch an Advisory Council composed of the following Branch Officers: Branch Supervisor, President, Associate Secretary and Corresponding Secretary. It shall be the duty of this Council to provide plans for the vigorous conduct in their Branch territory of the Jubilee Cam- paign. They shall direct and assist in arranging for public celebra- DODOODOODOOODODOOOOHBOODDODOODODOOOOOOoOOOoDoOoOoDoOoOoOoOoOooOo0000 9 DOOOOOOODDOOOOOOOOOOOODRDODOOOOOODOoOoOOoOoOOOOOoOoOOoOooOoooO oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOooooooooOooDoOooOoooDoooooOOooooo ooooooooOooOoOooOoOoOoOoOooOoOooooOoOoO ooo oooOoOo oOo ooOoOoOoOoOoooOoOooOoOoOooo OOOOOOCODOOOOOODOOOOOOOOOOOOOCoODoOoOoO CoO oOoDo0oO oOo oO oOo0oODo ooo oOoOoOooOoOoOooORooOooooDoOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOoOoOoCooOoOoODO bpoonoooooooooooOoOoOooOoOoOoOooOoOooOoOooOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOooOoOooooooo tions in behalf of the Jubilee movement at the annual Branch Meetings, at meetings at Annual Conferences, and at all District Meetings. They shall also encourage similar public celebrations in auxiliaries and churches. They shall make to the regular Executive Committee of the Branch such recommendations as seem advisable for financing the Jubilee Campaign within their territory. THE CONFERENCE SECRETARY 1. The Conference Secretary shall co-operate with the Branch Jubilee officers in pushing forward within her territory all interests of the Jubilee. 2. She shall assist in the circulation of such literature as is requested by the Branch Supervisor, and shall promote public meetings and general publicity of the Jubilee movement, in every possible way. 8. She shall transmit to each District Secretary the appor- tionment for that district in the general Jubilee advance. 4. She shall receive and transmit reports as hereinafter specified. THE DISTRICT SECRETARY 1. The District Secretary, with the District President, is to use all possible diligence in leading the district in hearty co- operation with all Jubilee plans. 2. Receiving from her Conference Secretary the advance apportioned to her district, in consultation with the other district officers, she will apportion it to the various auxiliaries and young people’s societies of the district. 8. She shall be specially charged with the duty of securing as many Jubilee organizations as possible among women and young people throughout the district. Inasmuch as the increase in membership is perhaps the most vital feature of the Jubilee enterprise, it is especially urged that the District Secretary utilize this rare opportunity to the fullest possible extent in effecting such organizations as are practicable in every church in her district. 4. To her, with the President, is committed the responsibility of the M. O. G. H. plans throughout her district. She will keep 10 ooo OOOOOCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODOOOOOCOODOOODODOOOOOOOOOODOODoOoOoODoOoOoODoOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoooOooooo0o ae eo a OOOODOOOOoOODOOoOoOoOcCoOoOoOoOOUOoOUUOOODoOoOoDoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo0NNA O an accurate record of all persons meeting the conditions of mem- bership in M.

She shall send to each organization in her district such Jubilee literature as shall be provided, and encourage its use in the most effective manner. 6. She, with the President, shall hold conferences in the interest of the Jubilee with auxiliary officers and leaders, arrange for special Campaign Meetings in city centers and rural com- munities, grouping churches where advisable, and give conspicu- ous place to the Jubilee in all regular district meetings. 7. She shall receive and transmit Jubilee reports as hereinafter provided for. JUBILEE SECRETARY 1. The Jubilee Secretary of each organization — and she may be the regular Corresponding Secretary —is charged with the promoting of Jubilee plans, and arousing and maintaining interest in the campaign in her society and church. She shall keep ac- curate record of New Members, New Subscriptions and Jubilee Offerings. This record is of prime importance, and should be kept with care and thoroughness, as upon it are conditioned the awards in M. O. G. H. 2. She shall make such reports as are hereinafter provided for. SECRETARIES OF SPECIAL DEPARTMENTS The General Secretaries of Young People’s, Children’s, Ger- man and Swedish Work, also the Secretary of Student Work, together with Branch Secretaries of special departments, shall aid in spreading information and circulating literature, besides co- operating to the fullest possible extent with all Jubilee plans as related to their departments. <> THE PLAN IN ACTION And thus we have told you! We have set in order the linked-up array of leaders in the Jubilee Campaign, and the work that falls to the lot of each. You will see that but little new machinery has been added to our already complete and efficient Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society organization.

Here is the sum total of our Forces as they array themselves in answer to this call, to move forward over the long, upward stretch of the five Jubilee years: $19,266 Members in our combined organizations. 471 Missionaries in active serivce. 827 Missionaries enrolled up to 1915. $1,096,228 Contributed last year (including bequests and ena gifts). 142,922 Magazine subscriptions. Surely we who publish the tidings are a “great host.” <> THE TASK What is the Task that is set for our doing? The call for our help from the world’s vast field is always loud. But now as we enter upon the Jubilee Campaign, world conditions confront us in which we may recognize an epochal plan of our Heavenly Father, and the call becomes an imperative * “Go ye!” Grasp a few facts. In India the Methodist Episcopal Church had over 35,000 baptisms in 1913, and a hundred thousand more converts are calling to us for baptism. Forty thousand Methodist children in India must have schools. In the United States there is one ordained Protestant minister to 594 people; in China there is only one to every 476,462 people. Seventeen hundred walled cities and thousands of smaller towns in China are now open to missionaries for the first time. The Philippine Islands are the crux of the Eastern problem. If Christianity fails there it must fail in other Eastern lands. Our Church must make that mission experiment a success. Not one-half of the children born in the Philippines live to be a year old. Medical work needed. In Korea, for every dollar given by Protestant Churches for evangelization, the individual Korean out of his poverty him- self gives $10.61. There has been an average of nearly one convert an hour for every hour of every day and night since the first missionary went to Korea.

In Malaysia our schools are full to overflowing, and growth similar to that of previous years cannot be made because the limit of our present school capacity has been reached. After four hundred years of Roman Catholic supremacy, Mexico has not been Christianized. Unlimited opportunities will be offered with the ending of the present conflict. South America has but one missionary for every 350,000 of its people. There were over a thousand conversions there in Methodist missions in six months in 1914. Dr. Zwemer says: “Islam is conquering, and nothing can stay its onward march or redeem Africa from its menace but the carrying of the Gospel aé once into every unoccupied field.” There are in Africa to-day at least seventy millions of people wholly untouched by Protestant missionary effort. In addition to these needs on the field, the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society is providing a Retirement Fund from which each returned missionary will receive a small, but certain allow- ance. The payment of these sunset salaries is a matter of simple justice. Of the $150,000 set as the total sum desired for this purpose, all but $45,000 has been provided for. This sum of $45,000, therefore, has been made one of the Jubilee ales Such is the challenge! Such the task! <> THE JUBILEE OBJECTIVE The four great objects to be attained in these Jubilee years are as follows: 1. MORE METHODIST WOMEN IN OUR SOCIETIES U4 There are in Methodism approximately 1,900,000 women. The combined membership of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society is 319,266. Our goal is to increase this membership tq_400,000. More members means more progress in all lines of our work. 2. MORE MONEY IN OUR TREASURY For the year ending October, 1914, the total receipts of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society, including an unusual special ODOOOOOOOOOODDOOOOODODDoOOEoDoOOoOoOoDooOooOoDooOoOoooOoOoOoOoOooOoooN 13 nNooooooooooooboooovDoooOoO ooo Onno ooooOoooooOoOoOoooOoOoooooOoOoOoOoOoOoooOoOooOooOoOoooOooOoooOoOoOoOooooOoooooo ooonDoDoooOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOoOoOooooOooOoOoOoOoDoOoOoOoOoooOoOoOoOoOoOoooood O 5 gift and bequest, were $1,096,228.85.

MORE MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS : The present combined subscription list of Woman’s Foreign 0 Missionary Society periodicals is 142,922. - / & By the end of the Jubilee period we are asked to increase : “this number to 180,000. In other words, we are to see that thou- = sands more of our Methodist women shall be getting their mis- oO sionary information through our publications. Enlightenment — brings enlistment. 4. MORE MISSIONARIES ON THE FIELD From a beginning of two in 1870, the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society now maintains 471 missionaries in our world field. Up to the present time there are 827 on the complete roll. L By the end of the Jubilee period we are asked to increase this number to 1,000, or to a trifle more than double our present active © force. The attention of well educated, well equipped Christian young women is hereby directed to mission service as a life calling. From every ramification of the non-Christian world come insistent demands for doctors, nurses, teachers, kindergartners and voca- tional instructors.

May every phase of the Jubilee activities of Methodist women during these five years be permeated with the spirit of consecration to the Master, whose name we seek to publish. May He thus be more clearly visualized before the young people of the Church, be more distinctly heard in a call to go to the foreign field. Taken altogether, the request that we promptly advance upon the four lines indicated is entirely reasonable and perfectly possible. Upon the perpetuation of the spirit of enthusiasm, consecra- tion and devotion of the pioneers in the Woman’s Foreign Mis- slonary Society fifty years ago has been builded this, one of the greatest organizations of women in the world. What shall be recorded as the history of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society for the next fifty years depends much upon the impetus given the great work by us in this Jubilee period. “Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee.” a <1 “LEAGUE OF INTERCESSORS The most perfect form of service is prayer. It underlies all fruitful activity, and it unlocks the limitless resources of divine power. For the furtherance of our great Jubilee enterprise, it is the vital arm of strength. _ The League of Intercessors is for those who, carrying the world on their hearts, would for the sake of countless needy thou- sands engage in the effective ministry of united intercession. At all depots of supplies may be found a card containing an expression of this purpose. Any who will may enroll in the League by signing one of these cards, in a spirit of humility and high resolve, and sending the same to the President Emeritus, Mrs. Cyrus D. Foss. The enrollment is voluntary and confidential. A little book has also been prepared to meet the wishes of those who would keep a list of personal subjects of prayer. The Woman’s Mission- ary Friend provides a special department for the League of Inter- cessors, where subjects of prayer, answers to prayer and sugges- tions, inspirational and educational, will be given.

Let all who are shut in or deprived for any reason of active participation in the work unite in this greater ministry. Without such intercession the burdened worker at home and the over-taxed missionary on the field would be unequal to the task. But with it, as in the ancient days on Car- mel’s mount, fire will come from heaven and abundance of rain will be poured out on parched fields. <0 M. 0.G.H., ORDER OF THE GOLDEN HARVEST The “Decoration of the Golden Harvest” has recently been conferred by the President of China upon a missionary in recog- nition of valuable service rendered the republic by him. “Valuable service” for a term of five years — and beyond — from the last woman in Methodism, is what the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society is after. Herewith is appended a very simple plan, by which every woman who reads this may become a M. O. G. H. and be the proud wearer of the “decoration” of this Sisterhood of Service among Methodist women. M. O. G. H. means “Member of the Order of the Golden Harvest.’ To membership in this great Sisterhood of Service any member of an Auxiliary, Young People’s Society, or Chil- dren’s Society in the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society is eligible by meeting the requirements, which are as follows: The aspirant for membership shall during each of the five years of the Jubilee Campaign, beginning now, 1. Obtain two new paid members. 2. Contribute a minimum Jubilee offering, over and above her regular gifts, and without causing any of them to suffer, of two dollars. From members of Young People’s Societies, 50 cents per year will be required. 3. Obtain two new paid subscriptions to the Woman’s Mis- sionary Friend, 50 cents each; Der Frauen-Missions-Freund, 25 cents each; Junior Missionary Friend, 20 cents each; or the Study, in clubs of 12 copies to one address, 30 cents each. At the conclusion of the Jubilee year, 1919, therefore, she will 16 QOOO0UOOOOOOOODOOONoOonoOooOoOno oe oooonoo Oooo oOooOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoDoOoOoOoOoOoNoOoOoRoOoOoOoooOoOooOoooooo oogdooonoooOooOooOONOoOoOOOOoOoOOOOOoOReoooOOOoooOUOGENa eS ee Slr gooooooooooooonoooooOooOooCoOoooooooOooooOooOooooOooooOsooooo have secured ten new members; contributed as her special Jubilee gift the minimum sum of $10 — or in the case of Young People’s Society members, $2.50 — and secured ten new subscriptions. Members of Children’s Societies may bring a Jubilee offering, from a shining penny up, although none is required of them. Each year at the Annual Meeting of District and Branch, suitable recognition shall be made of all persons meeting said requirements during the year, and an appropriate button shall be awarded, showing the degree to which an individual has attained. The award will be as follows: End of first year, Blue, representing members. End of second year, Black and White, representing magazines. End of third year, Silver, representing gifts. For the final degree of the Golden Harvest a button of Gold shall be awarded. ; The button gained at the end of the third year shall be worn until such time in the fifth year as the necessary requirements for the fourth and fifth years are met, when the Golden Button shall be awarded immediately, so that it may be worn during Jubilee year. Any woman effecting any new Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society organization shall be entitled to M. O. G. H. honors for that year upon the following conditions: She shall be credited with two members only of the new organization, and these, when their annual dues are paid. She must secure two new paid-up sub- scriptions and make her personal Jubilee gift as in any other year. Any person becoming a new member of a Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society organization in any given year of the Jubilee five may attain M. O. G. H. by meeting the requirements for membership of the year in which she joins and continuing to meet the requirements annually till the end of 1919. <> THE LARGER VISION It is stated elsewhere that a Jubilee gift of $2.00 annually for five years in the auxiliary, and 50 cents from young women, is to be the minimum gift necessary for membership in the Order of the Golden Harvest. We would not dare to fix the maximum. That must be left to the Heavenly Father, and the loving hearts and quick con- sciences of our loyal women. oooooooOoOoooooOo0oooo00o0ono : iat nooooooooooooooooooooOooo0oo0 ooo oooooOoOoooOoonNoOoOoOooOoooooOoOoOooooooOoOoOoOoOoOoOooOoOooOooOoooooOoooooo000o nooooooooOoooOoCoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOoNoOoOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOoOooOooOooooOoOoOoNoOoRoNooooooo onpn0gnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 17 nooooooooooooOoOooOoOoOoOoOoOoOooOoOooOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoNoDoOoOooOoOoOoOoOoOBoOo0o00"a Many will feel that even at great sacrifice they would increase the gift. Some who have much of the Master’s gold will surely recog- nize in this Jubilee period exceptional opportunity for expressing their love for Him by gifts in special form and in large amount. <0 REPORTS If the Jubilee plans are to succeed, the entire Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society must move as a unit. Every woman from our national officers to the last member of the most remote organization must strike her own noteinthe great harmonious chord. If this triumphant result be secured, it will be because infor- mation concerning the plans and progress of the Jubilee is contin- ually flashed forth throughout all our constituency. This means that everything pertaining to the workings of the Jubilee be speedily, systematically, and in accurate detail, reported. Here is the plan which, if followed, will do the work. THE LOCAL JUBILEE SECRETARY Reports begin where the most vital work always begins, with the individual member in the individual auxiliary, or other society. The Jubilee Secretary for the auxiliary or other society is the pivotal point. 1. She makes all her reports to the Corresponding Secretary of her society, with one exception: As soon as there is an addition of five, or any multiple of five, new paid-up members, she shall at once report the fact to the Jubilee Supervisor of her Branch. 2. She reports to the Corresponding Secretary the names of all new members received, who during the five Jubilee years shall be called “Jubilee Members.” 3. She shall report all paid-up Jubilee gifts received through the local society. She keeps and reports only the records of these Jubilee gifts. The money itself goes through the hands of the regular local Treasurer, along with other regular receipts. 4, She records and reports the names of all those securing new paid-up subscriptions to the Woman’s Missionary Friend, Der Frauen-Missions-Freund, the Junior Missionary Friend and the Study. The duty of sending the subscriptions to the Pub- lisher rests, as usual, with the local Corresponding Secretary or special auxiliary agent.

O. G. H. (see requirements for M. O. G. H. elsewhere), she shall report to the local Corresponding Secretary in time for the latter to make her regular quarterly report to the District Corresponding Secretary. She shall record and report the names of individuals effecting any new Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society organization. For each new organization the organizer receives credit for two new Jubilee members to be counted on M. O. G. H. honors. — She shall send items of special Jubilee interest from time to time, as she receives them, to the Jubilee Supervisor of her Branch to make for general inspiration and help. LOCAL CORRESPONDING SECRETARY The local Corresponding Secretary makes her usual quarterly reports to her District Secretary, using for that purpose the blank regularly provided by her Branch. To this blank she shall add the following four Jubilee items: 1. The number of new paid-up Jubilee members, whether auxiliary, young people, or children; active, honorary, memorial or at large. 2. The names of all auxiliary members contributing a Jubilee offering of $2.00 or more, per year, or in the case of Young People or Standard Bearers, fifty cents or more per year; likewise, all special Jubilee gifts by members of her auxiliary in whatever form they may be made. 3. The names of all new paid-up subscribers to any of our regular Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society periodicals. This does not include subscriptions to Branch publications. 4, The names of all members of her local Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society organizations who have fully met the require- ments for M. O. G. H. honors, stating in full the attainments upon which their claim is based. oOooooooOoooooooOoOooooooooooooooooOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOoo00g0 DISTRICT CORRESPONDING SECRETARY The District Corresponding Secretary shall receive as hereto- fore indicated, Jubilee reports from all Corresponding Secretaries of auxiliaries in her district, and transmit them in the regular way to her Conference Secretary.

O. G. H. honors. She shall carefully preserve the names of all persons in her district — women, young people, and children — meeting the re- quirements of M. O. G. H.; likewise names of all persons having — effected Jubilee organizations. On the basis of this record she shall award M. O. G. H. honors at the ensuing Annual District Meeting. CONFERENCE SECRETARY The Conference Secretary shall include in her regular reports to the Associate Secretary of the Branch all Jubilee items herein- before stated. BRANCH ASSOCIATE SECRETARY The Branch Associate Secretary shall report quarterly to the Jubilee Supervisor of the Branch all Jubilee items as above stated. BRANCH JUBILEE SUPERVISOR The Jubilee Supervisor shall report quarterly to the Jubilee Commissioner to whom her Branch is assigned all Jubilee items as stated above. She should also communicate at least monthly with the Jubilee Commissioner in charge of her Branch. <1 PUBLICITY Reports having been thus fully provided for, suitable publica- tion is the next important step. All Methodist women should know all about. Jubilee plans and Jubilee progress. Modern sagacity recognizes the need for publicity for the success of all large enterprises. THE “FRIEND” Our first dependence in the most necessary and vital matter of publicity in this great undertaking of Methodist women is our faithful and efficient Woman’s Missionary Friend. It will be the “Town Crier”’ of the Jubilee. Generous space in each issue of the Friend has been allotted to the Jubilee enterprise, with Mrs. John F. Fisher, 10427 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, as editor. Here will appear messages from the Jubilee Commission, fresh QOOODOCOoOooOoOoOOOOmOoOOoOoOoOoOOoOOoOOoOoOOooOOOOoOooOoOoOOooOSsoOAsoo 20 on Ooo00o0o00 ooonoonoooooOoooOoOooOooooOooOoo0o000000o0000 noonoooooooDoo nono oooODoaoooOoOoOoOoooooo0000000000 ae a ee NooDDoDoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOoOoOoDo ooo oooOooOoooOooooOoOooooooOooOooOoooooo0ooo news from the front, and reports of Jubilee organizations and Jubilee members. The editor of this department invites from far and near human interest stories relating to the Jubilee work, and from all officers and leaders such Jubilee items as may be of interest throughout our constituency. All such items should reach the Jubilee Editor by the twentieth of the month in order to insure prompt publication. Do not send to the editor reports which should be made to District Secretaries as elsewhere stated, nor names of individuals reaching M. O. G. H. honors. All such details after they have reached the Branch Supervisor are by her properly classified and sent to the editor. The editor will welcome brief descriptions of Jubilee methods successfully tried out, and news of special interest regarding the Jubilee work and workers. A special department in the Friend has also been devoted to the League of Intercessors, which is under the direction of Miss Viola A. Troutman, Mrs. A. W. Patten, and Miss Elizabeth C. Northup. The greater the circulation of the Friend, therefore, the wider will be the diffusion of Jubilee intelligence and inspiration. Here, then, is a special reason for increasing the subscription list of the Friend. Every new subscriber will thus be exposed to immediate infection by the Jubilee germ. BRANCH PUBLICATIONS In addition to the Friend, the editors of all Branch periodicals are requested to give the Jubilee head-liner precedence. Bright ideas and earnest incentives among our women are often lying around loose. It is urged that in each Branch printer’s ink be used for the dissemination of these, and that in the form of Jubilee literature they be generously and judiciously circulated. <0 JUBILEE PLANS MADE PLAIN MEMBERS — MONEY — MAGAZINES There you have it — the Jubilee enterprise in a nutshell. And here follows a plain, primer lesson. If properly learned this lesson will make it possible for any woman, even though she became a member of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society only OOoOoOoOoDoDooOoOoOoooooOooOooOoOooDoOoOoOoOoOooooOoOoOoooOooOoOooOoOoooOoo0o0ooo 21 oooooooooooOoOoOoooOoOoOoOoOoooooooOoOoOoOoOoOoOooooooOooOoooooooRooooo Oooo DoOooO ooo oOoooOoOoOoOoOooDoOoOoOooD Doo oDoooOoooOoOoOoOoOoooOooOoOoOoOooooOoOoOoOooooooooooooo pnDopoooooonoo000o000 oooooooOooOooOooOoOoOoDoOoCoOoOoOooOoOoDoOooOoOoOooOoOoOoOooOoOoODoooOooooRo0000 O yesterday, to understand the Jubilee, and do something for it to-day. 1. Get a new member in any of our organizations — Auxiliary, Young People’s, or Children’s Society. This may be an honorary, memorial, active, or member at large for the auxiliary. Honorary membership annual dues are one dollar. The last three named are $1.00 plus contingent dues. “Member at large’? means a woman who lives where there is no auxiliary, but who wishes to belong to the Society. Annual dues in the Young Women’s Societies are $1.00, and in Standard Bearer Companies, sixty cents. Annual dues in King’s Herald and Little Light Bearer groups are twenty-five cents. Two members in any one of these societies, or one in each of any two different ones, will count for honors as “Member of the Order of the Golden Harvest.” ; 2. The standard of Jubilee giving is as follows: A minimum Jubilee gift of $2.00 for each year of the five Jubilee years from every auxiliary member of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society. Fifty cents per year from all Young Women and Stand- ard Bearers. No specified Jubilee gift is asked from King’s Heralds and Little Light Bearers, but the shining penniesare invited. This gift of $2.00, or of fifty cents, for each year of the Jubilee period, is to be over and above all amounts which the member would ordinarily give, or expect to give, for all purposes of the Society. The Jubilee offering must be left as a matter of con- science with the giver, who will not allow any of her usual gifts through the regular channels of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society to suffer because of her special Jubilee gift. But publish abroad the important tidings that two dollars is the minimum gift in the auxiliary! If the $1,600,000 we strive for in 1919 is even approached thousands of our loyal women must annually multiply by substantial figures that minimum sum of two. If, in this day of the “‘high cost of living” and of other things, even two extra dollars seem difficult, this amount may be solicited from those who in the ordinary course of events are not contrib- utors to the work of our organization. Should this method not be practicable for all, and in order that no woman may fail of her heart’s desire, still another method has been devised. After securing two members, on the way to M. O. G. H. honors, the woman who for any reason finds herself unable to contribute the Jubilee offering of $2.00 annually, may, ooooooDoDoOoDOOOOOOOOoN pooooDoooOoODOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOooOoOooOoOoooooooooooooOooooooo00000000 ooo0o0oDooDooOoOOOOoOoOoODOOoOOoOOoOoOoO ooooDooOODooOooOOOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOooOoooOooOooOoOooooooooooOoOoOooo oooooo0oo0o0oo moooooooooo nooo oOoOoOoOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOooOooORnDoooooOooooo0000 22 pooooooooDOoODoOoOoOOOOooOoOoOoOooOOOROOoDODDOODoOOOoOON by securing other new paid members whose annual dues shall amount to at least two dollars, be recorded as having given her Jubilee gift for any one year. In the case of young women, an additional paid-up membership of fifty cents will be considered the equivalent of a Jubilee gift. This plan will continue through the five-year period. 8. Get a new subscription for any one of our four Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society periodicals — the Woman’s Mission- ary Friend, fifty cents; Der Frauen-Missions-Freund (“German Friend’’) twenty-five cents; the Junior Missionary Friend, twenty cents; or the Study, a club of twelve copies to one address, thirty cents. Two new subscriptions for any one of these, or one new for each of two different ones, will count on M. O. G. H. honors. _ New subscriptions in clubs of ten for the Junior Friend will be credited as two for M. O. G. H. honors, as will also two new clubs of twelve copies each for the Study. | As soon as any or all of these requirements for M. O. G. H. are met, names of new paid members, the amount of the Jubilee gift, and the names of new paid subscribers — with magazines subscribed for specified — should be reported to the Jubilee Secre- tary of the local society. When all M. O. G. H. requirements are fulfilled, she will send the names of all meeting them to the District Corresponding Secretary. At the Annual Meeting of District and Branch, the appropriate button for each particular year shall be awarded. If questions arise which perplex you, write to your Branch Jubilee Supervisor, whose name and address you will find printed elsewhere. These plans are plain. They have been tested and have made good. But in all and through all must be prayer; more im- portant than plans, for in prayer alone is our sure success. Now, dear women, to the task! <4) FIND IT HERE For convenience of administration the following Branches have been assigned to Mrs. O. N. Townsend, Zanesville, Ohio, and their Branch Supervisors should send reports and address corre- spondence in regard to the Jubilee to her: New England, New DNOOODOOODOODOOCOOOOODDODODOOoODoOoOoOoDoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoooOoOoOoOoOoNoOooOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoDooOooOS DOOOOOOOOoCOCoOoOoOOOoOODOODOO OOOO O00 oOoOoOoooO ooo oOoOoOoOoOoDoOoOoOoDoOooOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOoOoOoDoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoON oy tae nNoooooooooooRo0 0000 nooo ocooOoDoOoOoooooo noon ooooooooOODoOoOooooOoOooooOnoOooOoOoOoOoooo 23 nooooooooooooooOoos coooDoooooodoooooNBooOooooooooooooooOg noooooooooooooooooDoDoOoOOoOooOOOOOOoOoOoOoOoOoODoOoOoOoOoOoOoDoDoOoOOoOoOOoOoOOooooOoO ooooooooooODOooOooooooooo York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Minneapolis. In like manner the following Branches should report to Mrs. J. F. Fisher, 10427 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio: Cincinnati, Northwestern, Des Moines, Topeka, Columbia River and Pacific. Each Supervisor should communicate with her Commissioner as to progress in her Branch, and all matters of Jubilee interest, at least once a month. A thoroughly arranged Jubilee Campaign Meeting should be held at least annually throughout the Jubilee period, both in large centers and upon the group plan in rural communities. Write to your Branch Supervisor for definite suggestions as to plans. Each Branch shall decide for itself the object, or objects, to which its own Jubilee offering shall be appropriated. _ If the Advisory Council of any Branch considers it advisable to extend further the Jubilee organization to include both Conference and District Supervisors, this may be done. M. O. G. H. buttons may be obtained with all other Jubilee material from the Branch depot of supplies. Buttons for the first year’s honors in M. O. G. H., likewise a model in printed form of charts for use in Annual Meetings of Districts, will be available for districts holding such meetings in the spring of 1915. M. O. G. H. buttons will be awarded only at the Annual Meeting of District and Branch. The M. O. G. H. buttons awarded to the King’s Heralds are exactly “like mother’s.” The qualifications are identical except that no offering is required. Voluntary gifts are invited, however. Remember, that constant publicity should be given the Jubilee in every meeting of Auxiliaries and of Young People’s and Chil- dren’s Societies. For further information in regard to the League of Interces- sors, address Miss Viola A. Troutman, 1603 North Kansas Avenue, Topeka, Kansas. Send samples, all unique programs, souvenirs, pennants, ribbons, etc., pertaining to Jubilee methods, to the Branch Super- visor. They will be a part of the great Jubilee Exhibit at the final gathering of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary clans in 1919. In reporting to the editor of the Jubilee Department of the Friend the name of any organization, state accurately its location as to city or town, and the Branch to which it belongs.
