 THE PRESIDENTS REMARKS.
 As we look into the records of the ban Ished days of the past year am sure that though we may find flaws and many un- grasped opportunities we shall find also much of progress, much of good work done, many instances of help extended to humanity, our hospital provided with many comforts and conveniences, and proofs of we'll laid foundation whereon the women's board may stand firmly, and steadily extend this noble work. Adverse winds have at times ,buffeted us, but no storm has overwhelmed us, and no cloud has been so black that we have not caught 2 glimpse of the silver lining gleaming 
 Yet there are none of us who have not gained fuller comprehension of the na- ture of our work through the experience of the past twelve months. We are becoming g more and more cooperative and more helpful. If our work be truly planned and wisely carried on, if 1t be not crsmped and dwarfed by false ideas and narrow views, we can hardly estimate how far our influence can reach. We have begun the work, the work is ours to do, and the re- sponsibility of success or failure rests not alone upon the executive committee, but on each and every member. Lst each be faithful and thus our work shall spread, and there need bs no limit to the good we can accomplish. This has been called the "woman's age," and grsndly are our women grasping their opportunities-women to-day everywhere are pressing forward and taking their place among learned and progressive men, I look hopefully into the future with all it's possibilities for good, and as a whole we have right to feel that the past year has been successful one. And now in con. clusion let me say few words about rais- ing funds for continuing this work. ] would earnestly advise the members to ask their friends and acqusintances for a year. ly membership fee of $1. If every mem. Der, and we have nearly one hundred, and ought to have more, could get ten or five names, how easily and quickly we could replenish the treasury. Who does moi remember the really hard work to get ur an entertainment, the joy of finding the gross receipts so large, and the almost fearful disappointment at the pittanc, left when all the bills were paid.
 wish to sincerely thank all the mem bers of the society who have encouraged u by their presence at our meetings ant especially the ladies who have visited th' hospital during the twelve months. Thei presence and their kind, helpful word have wonderfully cheared and comforte, the patients.
