This edition shall probably display the pictures of some of our meet distinguished Missionary women, as well as outstanding men expected here as guests .^>f . the Convention. The citizens of' South Carolina may learn from this more intimate knowledge of the .service and achievement they have rendered in ore er to attain the distinction they now enjoy.

Faithfully yuuiB, ' ? REVERDY C. RANSOM - * PLACES OF INTEREST HERE AND THERE IN AND -AROUND COLUMBIA - * (By I. M. A. Myers) By June 30th more-than one thousand visiting men arid women of he A. M. E. Churches in the Southern States will be fn Columbia for the meeting of the Quadrennial session of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society. With the large number of people from over the State coming to the meeting it is estimated that fully 2,000 out-of-city people will be in Columbia for at least eight days. The Quadrennial session of the ,W. H. and F. M. S. is a gathering of unusual interest. The task of giving these church workers a splendid entertainment devolves^r,upon_a_ few who represent the executive places in tills Stnto onrl among the responsible heads come Mrs. R. C. Channelle, Mrs. S. G. Simmons and Mrs. E. A. Adams who heads the placement committee in Columbia. All of these ladic* have had, distinguished minisleiial connections and have been in a position to get fine tfflininpr in wnrV They knOW what to do when it comes to directing the work for the general entertainment of the many delegate^ hrrp a .fpw weeks hence.lake Murray Among the many places of interest in and around Columbia is Lake Murray .near "Irmo. This is said to be the largest artificial lake in the world except, the Panama Canal. It will be educative for the delegates interestt"i in tli- nf the iTnitpti iin jrrnnral firl Fftiif1 Carolina in particular to see and stu-. dy Lake Murray.* The officials, of the Broad River Power Company would be only too glad to furnish the local committee booklets giving detailed information about Lake Murray. THE COLLEGES Allen University and Benedict College will furnish auditorium space for many of the assemblies of the Quadrennial meetings. It is .true that people- may assemble in the auditoriums of these two great -colleges and yet "hot see" them. Knowing President Sims and President Starks a? do thpre is no need of expecting anything else but thAt llm I'ul leges will be not only shown in an impressive way but facts about the schools will be passed around. Then, too, State College?the pride "of the Negroes of South Carolina?is qnly an hour and fifteen minutes ride in a good car. The sight-seeing commit-, tee may find it a pleasure to take a party to see State College any morning before breakfast. It is a glorious place to behold and most especially around seven in the morning when the lawns are sparkling with dew and the flower gardens make pictures in one's eyes because of their beauty and colorful background. Claflin College is doing; splendid work under the direction of-"President I J. B. Randolph.?The school iq locnt. ed next to State College. It has a rwost beautiful campuj, manj^ hand smw -buildings?and .an imposing view. Visitor^ would enjoy a trip to this historic school, one of the oldest and best known institutions of learning among our people in the South. Harbison College near Irmo is one of the mo/t attractive places near Columbia. Its location is ideal and a campus ~ with?fretrnt if til-shrubbery and trees of different kinds are plentiful.?Pracidfrit Pfyfer and Dean .
