positively declined denomination.
On motion of Mrs. Curtis vote of
thanks was extended to Mrs. Sudlow
for her very efficient work done in
the society since it was organized
five years ago. An additional motion
was made to the same effect in regard
to Mrs. Ferguson.
Five Years of Faithful Work.
Both Mrs. Sudlow and Mrs. Fergu-
son have served the society in their
respective executive positions for
five years. Both have consecrated
themselves to the work and the or
ganization. which has proven such a
blessing, and the cause of charity owes
no less than those who have reen
benefited. to the noble and successful
endeavor of these two ladies. Well
NAV the Relief society feel the loss
it has sustained in their withdrawal
from official identification with the
work. and let US hope that among its
members the organization may find
others capable of taking up the re-
sponsible duties and carrying them
on with the devotion and energy that
has been shown in the past.
