A report from Portland, Oregon, states that at the conven- tion of the Episcopal Church there in session, the women of that denomination turned over to the church the stupendous sum of seven hundred thousand dollars raised by them for church purposes during the past three years. This indicates what women can do in the matter of raising funds when they set their minds to it. The Jewish women of America have during the past year been engaged in a similar undertaking which happily promises to be crowned with eminent success. The sum which they are seeking to raise is considerably smaller than thaticffiich their Episcopal sisters have gathered but their numbers are propor- tionally very much less.
