PENNSYLVANIA CONFERENCE BRANCH WOMEN'S MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION By Mrs. Paul E. Holdcraft The General Conference of 1841 organized "The Parent Missionary Society of the United Brethren in Christ," and provided it with a con stitution. Howevet, missionary work was confined to the homeland for some years. In 1852 frontier work was begun in Oregon. Since our church had always championed the cause of the negro in America, Africa was chosen as the first field of foreign missionary effort. In 1855 W. J. Shuey, D. K. Flickinger and D. C. Kumler, M. D., arrived in Sierra Leone, West Africa. Prior to the organization of the Women's Missionary Association there seems to have been some opposition on the part of the mi11isters, who felt that it might retard the missionary work in which the church was already· engaged, and that funds which had found their way into the treasury of the General Society might be diverted into other channels. However, this feeling soon changed to .one of encouragement for we find t1:iis report given· at the General Conference of 1873, "Your committee is pleased to learn that God has put it into · the hearts of many of the devoted women of the church to organize Women's Missionary Associa tions in the various annual conferences..... Resolved, that we recommend their zeal and enterprise in this good work to the favorable consider ation of the women of the church in all our annual conferences." Mrs. A. L. Bilheimer, who was the first woman to be sent as a mis sionary from our denomination, had returned from Africa and was ap pointed an organizer for the Association. In 1877 she attended the Camp Meeting at Emig's Grove, near York, Pa., for the purpose of promoting missionary work among women in our conference. Mrs. Z. A. Colestock, a Vice President of the National Board, was chosen to direct the work in the conference. Miss Susan Erb and Miss Elizabeth Erb were chosen Secretary and Treasurer, respectiveiy. Ministers' wives present were given the authority to organize societies in their own churches. Records of the organization and the first few years of the work are very incomplete. At the Jubilee Convention in 1927, Mrs. J. R. Hutchison and Mt. George A. Wolf stated that the Branch was organized at Mt. Wolf, and presented for display a picture of the building in which the organization took place.
