RELIEF WORK IN OHIO.
Department President Sarah d. Winans, of
Ohio, has made wise choice in the selection
of the Chairmen of two very important COM
mittees in that State as announced in General
Orders, No. 3.
OF the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Home Com
! mittee, Past Department Chaplain s. Allie
shuler, of New Dover, is named Chairman,
| and of the Department Relief Committee, Ella
Belle Woodward, of Tippecanoe City.
Both OF these women represent the purest
type of Christian womanhood, and have had
large experience in relief work in their own
Corps and in the Department.. They have
able assistants, and should be warmly support
ed in their work, the character of which is
beautifully outlined by the Department Presi-
dent as follows:
sour comrades at Sandusky sit in their
house of patience with folded hands, waiting
the final summons. 1t has been our privilege
to carry much of cheer and comfort into their
saddened lives. Our Department Relief Com
mittee will find much to tax their time and
patience and to sadden their hearts, but by
careful investigation it will be their privilege
to cheer many hopeless heart, which, in its
last extremity, turns to the Department for
help. i consider that to each committee give
a sacred duty, and it has been my aim and
study to place upon the committee ladies who
will assume the sacred trust with willing
hands and loving hearts, and bespeak for them
the hearty cooperation of each member of the
Department in the discharge of their duties"
