At work in a far distant field

Mrs. DeLaCroix of Oxford was asked to give us some particulars of the work of Miss Ellen Hicks, of Oxford, who is the only woman from the Diocese of North Carolina at work in a far distant field.  Miss Hicks is a trained nurse of experience and has been at work under Bishop Brent in the Philippines.  She is temporarily in the United States.  It was moved, seconded and carried that Miss Hicks’ work in Manila be added to our next pledge list.
