1t is always thrilling to read what our loyal
sisters are doing on the far frontier and on the
Pacific slope, and the record of this loyal little
Department is most inspiring.
Think of it, ye Indifferent members in our
great, opulent Departments: 500 bound VOL
umes, including many standard works, all in
cases, and 1925 piano given to the Soldiers
Home! And $25 for Army Nurses and to dec
crate the graves on Southern battlefields
All this besides $74905 cash spent for relief
and S546.67 other than money. Members and
their families assisted, 90 soldiers and their
families l72. These loyal women. only little
over 1000 of them, divided up into about 40
Corps, are building better than they know for
loyalty and patriotism. Success attend the
same.
