Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of Pencader Presbyterian Church: Historical Addresses Delivered on the Occasion of the 70th Anniversary of the Woman's Missionary Society of Pencader Presbyterian Church, Glasgow, Del;, October 15th, 1899
This church has an elder, David B. Ferris, who united with it upon profession of faith in 1844. His mother, an eminently pious and much beloved woman, who was among those first banded together to labor and pray in the Pencader Church for the spirit of missions in their own midst, and the Spread of the same spirit throughout our country and the world, gave to the above son and elder before her death, the substance of her recollections regarding the formation of the Pencader Church Woman's Missionary Society, and a Document signed by twenty-nine women.
This paper dated in 1819, was exhibited by Mrs. J. Wilkins Cooch at the time of her address' on the day of the jubilee, and is in a good state of preservation. The society at Glasgow is there fore likely to be eighty years of age, for it may be presumed to have been in working order when Mrs. Ferris's annotations were recorded in 1819.
