Anna ~. Atkinson is the eldest of three daughters born to James and i1.a:ry ?eek .t1.tkinson. She was born in uazenovia, IL Y. , J.<'ebruary 28th. ner mother was one of the Peck family which have given so many ministers, including Bishop Jesse ~. Peck, to the Methodist Episcopal Church. She ~as graduated from uazenovia Seminary.

From a very young girl she wanted to be a missionary and offered herself to the -1/oman' s Foreign Missionary Society through Mrs. William B.Skidmore. She was appointed to Tokyo, Japan, in 1882. Her second term, during which she had Asiatic cholera, was shortened by ill health. During this term she met Miss Josephine uarr, of ·;1arren, Rhode Island, who spent some time visiting our missions in Japa.,,. A warm friendship spring up between the two, and Miss uarr prolonged her visit in order to give much needed help in the Aoyama School. She accompanied r~iss Atkinson on her return to America in 1891, traveling by way of t.:hina, lndia an<l Europe. Miss Atkinson then made her home with Miss Carr in Warren until her return to Japan in 1900, when she was appointed to Nagoya. Here the building burned a few yea.rs later and all her personal belongings were lost. She took bravely "the spoiling of her goods," but a sigh escaped her in speaking to a friend when she referred to the loss of some things that had belonged to her mother. She superintended the erection of the new school building in .Nagoya., which formed an unusually attractive plant. Part of her third furlough, in 1907, was spent in , t-. stud~ in the Bible ~eachers' :'raining School, New York. For K short time following her return to Japan she was in charge of the Day ~chools in Yokoh1:1.ma, after which she was sent to Fukuoka to :r.ave charge of the construction of our fine new buildings there.

She hl;l.s .had four furloughs, suiling fer Ja_pan the laf'!t time in June 1916. She is now agaiL i11 :'okyo where she began wor.i: in 1882. ~he fol­lowing is 1.J.UOted from one o: her letters; "I hl:l.d such a happy &XJ!erience one day when I was invjted to meet son~ of my pupilP of lon6 ago. Seven­teen were .i:iresent, all of whor.1 were in school ovElr thi rt;y yea re ago. It was a company o::.· wonder1·u11y fine woruen, several of whom are noVT grand-

mothers. ':'he husbands of two or three are Christian mi1,i stere, and one hae husband, son and son-in-law all mii.:.ieters in active serv.i.ce."

r.:iss .t1.tn:il"sor, has given most of her time in Japan to educational work, servin5 almost continuously as principal of schools, but is now engaged in evangelistic work. A gifted, consecrKteri woman, teacher, ouilder, evangelist, a soul winner,-Syracuse East District, Central New York Conference, has the honor to support her.

MISS ANNA P. ATKIN:>ON was born in Cazenovia, N. Y. in 1860. She is of English and American ancestry. From her mother, who belonged to a large family of Methodist ministers, she was nurtured not only in the faith, but a faith that recognized the highest call that could come to a human soul was to go where Christ was not and take the Gospel. Miss Atkinson is a graduate of Cazenovia Seminary and had a brief experience as a teacher before sailing for Japan, under the auspices of the ~;York Branch, in 1882. Miss Atkinson did excellent work in 'TO'JctJ?~ for several years returning in 1891 with :l.mpaired health, which ho.a obliged herto remain in this country where she does efficient service for missions as a public speaker. Her address is Warren, R. 1.

JAPAN Miss Anna P. Atkinson is a native of Cazenovia, N. Y. Her mother

was one of the Peck family which has given to the church so many ministers, including Bishop J<·ssc T. Peck. Jkr desire to become a mis­sionary was realized when in 1882 she was appointed to Tokyo, J apau. Her term of service was interrupted when ~he was taken with Asiatic cholera, returning home very ill and being obliged lo remain in this coun­try about nine years. In 1900 she returned to Japan being appointed to Nagoya 'vhere she supervisC"<l th<" erection of the very attractive ne\\' school building. She discharged this responsibility so satisfactorily that she was later sent to Fukuoka to do similar work for our society. She is now again in Tokyo, engaged in evangelistic work, and she finds great joy in her association with a company of wonderfully fine Japanese \\'Otncn, (sorne of "·hon1 are no\V grand1nothers) \vho \Vere her pupils when she fir.I went to Japan.
