A large number of missionary coworkers and friends gathered at the residence of Miss Willie H. Kelly, 486 Rue Lafayette on Saturday (Dec. 1) to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of her atriva! in Chico, In her modesty Miss Kelly had tried to keep this anniversary a secret, but some of her friends heard of It, and so on the previous Wednesday the Woman's Missionary Society of the Old North Gate Baptist Church surprised her by having a special meeting in her honour. Appropriate recognition of her forty years of untiring work in their midst was given, and substantial gifts showed their Tave and appreciation. This ended with a feast of "Dzang Zen Mien." The women of this group hold Miss Kelly in the greatest esteem and affection, Miss Kelly landed in Shanghai on Saturday, December 1, 1804, havin crossed the Pacific in the old Tacoma coming from Portland, Oregon. While Miss Kelly has done Missionary. work in Quinsan and some other places, still the greater part of her Tabouts have been in Shanghai and with the Old North Gate Church which now has a membership of 950.
