Ruth Mougey Worrell, executive secretary 0 the United Council of Church Women, New York, climaxed her address Tuesday at a luncheon given in her honor at the First Christian church.

When he re turned from his ten-day trip he returned the clothes beautifully done and informed his mother the work had been done in India. She further sketched the Unit ed Council history and work field. This is Mrs. Worrell's first trip to the west coast since the UCCW was centralized In 1S41 Prior to that time 60 denomina- tions participated, each under its own management. Today, Christian women see that Chris tianity Is bigger than denomina tions. Mrs. E. T.
