Among some OF Mrs. Weir's views q the ideal
church woman wcT. the following:
"rhe ideal woman in the church does chcerfully all
that her hands md to do whether II Dee visiting tire

not feel that her duty ends with simply the Joining
Of the Ep~orih League or the Missionary Society.

OF the ideal society woman Miss Acker had this
say:
