finding no other remedy in their power
do wish me to present YOU a token of
esteem. We have assembled this even

one who by her great influence and true
wOmanly qualities has ever been a
credit to our order. Many of US look
back with pleasure to the old days when
| a mere handful gathered every Sunday
afternoon in our dingy little hail to
spare few hours after our weeks toll
to devise some means to educate and
upiift tOiling womankind. Every time
tile appointed hour found Sister EssleI
promptly on hand, guiding the assem-
bled with that tact and ability SO
rarely to be found among women
The new members found in her
true friend and sister. The care.
less or unfathful member learned to
fear Sister EsSler's mildly worded re-
prouf. The faithful ana tried members
sought her advice and aid on every Oc
caSiOn. Nor was it ever wanting.
Later when the fruits of our laborS be-
came apparent, new members flocked in
faster than they could be initiated, and
we met in more cheerful quarters. The
days of the assembly had fallen on
pleasant lines. Then for the first time
we missed the genial presence of Sister
ESSler. After months of illness and af-
fiction we again found her at her post
of duty and profted by her counses.
This evening the pleasing memories
of earlier days blend with feeling OF
sadness. that In the future we shall miss
Sister ESSler, and know that she is per-
manently engaged in other fields of
work. But the cloud has its silver lin
ing: '526I' loses one of its oldest and
most esteemed members, but some other
assembly gains a valuable addition to
its membership.
"On behalf of the Ladies' Protective
association, L present to you this EN-
blem of our order as the most fitting re-
minder of our bond of unity and mu-
tual assistance. hoping that in the fut-
ure. as in the past, Sister ESsler will
always consider it her highest honor
and greatest pleasure to continue in the
ranks of those who live for humanity
rather than for self.
Everyone who knows or has known
Mrs. ESsler joins heartily in these SEN
tlmentS, and, while sorrOwtul to lose so
good and earnest worker. we can out
wish you God speed in your new home
and all your undertakings.
Mrs. Essler replied briefly, thanking
the assembly for the souvenir and as
surfing them that she would always re-
member kindly the assembly and en-

The floor was then cleared and a short
dancing programme enjoyed. Refresh
mentS were served at midnight, and the
guests departed after spending pleas
ant evening.
