The opening session was at ten o'clock in the morning when a brief prayer meeting was held led by Mrs. A. F. Seastrand. This was followed by a business session. Mrs. Ernest Swenson of Svea welcomed the delegates and visitors to Svea. Encouraging reports were given by representatives of the several local societies within the district.

Officers for the coming year were elected as follows:

President, Mrs. A. F. Seastrand of Beckville.
Vice President, Mrs. C. G. Olson of Tripolis.

An auditing committee was elected composed of Miriam Rast and Mrs. Elmer Johnson.

The afternoon session opened at 2 o'clock. Rev. Fred Wyman, the Synod's field secretary, spoke on the mission work in Africa. This was a very interesting talk as well as a fervent appeal for support of the mission work.

In the evening the session was held at 7:30 o'clock. Numbers were given by representatives of local societies, Rev. Wyman again spoke very interestingly on the field in China. He used a large map of this country which added interest.
