A short call was made at the
GAINESVILLE Female Academy, where
President Rust taught many years
ago, and then the excursionists shook
hands, kissed and embraced, and left
for home.
The Bethel students and those who
accompanied them are deeply in
debted to President Rust and to the
warm-hearted Captain Crusman for
a red letter day. The excursion was
especially grateful to those ladies
who left their household cares behind
them to enjoy a welcome relief from
the monotonous pressure Of daily
tasks. The sympathetic flowers
looked love into their soft eyes which
looked love in return. The tender
meeting gave a sparkle to weary
eyes and brightness to heavy spirits.
