shame before the nations of the earth. No our
women OF the Union only lack knowledge Of the
means by which they can prove themselves true
battles.

now far patriotism can rise above feminine yani-
" in the hearts Of the American women.
In order to invoke this spirit OF self sacrifice,
1t is important that the great object Of the cove
nant We have made should be broadly circulated
and thoroughly understood It disconragss
prohigate expenditures Of any kind, recommends
the use OF domestic fabrics wherever they can be
substituted for those Of foreign make, and advises
simplicity Of attire both as a matter of policy
and good taste. 1t asks the great sisterhood Of
American women to aid in this reform before il
is too late. Thank God science has given US
the means Of reaching thousands on thousands
in single hour. While we make this covenant,
the thought that thrills our hearts may trembe
In tre along the telegraph, and awake kindred
inspiration throughout the entire land. By
every means Of communication in our power, let
US urge the necessity Of prompt action. In
every town and village throughout the Union,
to establish an auxiliary society, and forward
the names Of the ladies invited to act for the
State in which her duty lies. We ask stimuli
taneous action, earnest work. and general self
sacrifice at the hands Of our sister women. With
their ardent help, work will be accomplished
so important in its results, that the woman who
shares 1t may, hereafter, leave the emblem Of
our object as the richest jewel that she leave
to posterity.
