er number of children within their influence
to bring to light our strength and our weak
ness-to become better acquainted with each
other as co-laborers, and by mutual discus
sion and comparison of views and plans, to
encourage the weak by revealing the causes
Of success in the strong, and by the potent
bond of sympathy in good cause to "pro
woke to good works" and to infuse into all
