It’s the first thing they say.
I believe it is the "objects" that "they" is referencing to
Based on their discussion, the ladies in the missionary circle prove they are ignorant hypocrites.
A missionary circle SHOULD be about doing good for others in the name of charity. This circle, however, seems to be only good for gossip. They believe that Africa is full of "sin and squalor" and their words indicate they are extremely prejudiced.

Answer:
The dictionary definition for the word "develop" is: grow or cause to grow and become more mature, advanced, or elaborate. It also means: start to exist, experience, or possess.
Explanation:
<em>To go into further detail, </em>If someone is developing, they are usually growing, learning, and changing. For example, if a character in a story absolutely hates vegetables, but towards they end of the story they begin to understand why vegetables are important, we can say the character developed because they learned and changed from their experiences. When someone uses "develop(ing)" to describe an object, they are usually describing the physical aspect of the object. For example, if someone says "The little sprout developed into a tall beanstalk." this means that the sprout grew taller in size.
<em>Synonyms</em> of develop include: grow, evolve, mature, expand, enlarge, spread, advance, progress, prosper, succeed, thrive, get on well, flourish, blossom, bloom, burgeon, make headway, be successful
