The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1897-05-08
Vu. G.. Fl.
NOTES FOR APRIL.


completed the twelfth month of our
history before we meet again. And when
any hour strikes twelve in our lives it
is time to pause and think about what
we have been doing all this while. But
just now we want you to consider first
what we can do to make these closing
hours of the w. G. A. round up we'll.
ARE YOU PLANNING TO ATTEND THE
ANNUAL MEETING?
We hope you are. for we have been
planning how to get you there in the
cheapest possible way. and how to inter-
est you when You have arrived. There
is no doubt about a warm welcome
awaiting every Universalist woman who
may be there.
Ii one hundred land some of the
Eastern States ought to be able to send
that many each) persons attend. the fare
will be on the certificate plan. That u.s.
you get certificate at your starting
point stating you are desiring to attend
the Annual meeting of the Woman's
Centenary Association at Philadelphia,
Penn, on May 18th and Goth, as dele
gate or otherwise, and the certificate
properly endorsed will entitle the holder
to return ticket at one. third the
price.
There ought to be an out-pouring
from Brooklyn, Nsw York City and
other places not so very far from the
CITY of Brotherly Love.
A GOOD THING TO DO.
1t would be good thing if every Mis-
sion Circle should resolve to have rep
resentative present at this Annual Con-
vention, even if the fare had to be paid
out of the missionary funds in hand.
Don't mind if you have four delegates
already provided for from your State,
What we want to see is the women, and
to get close enough to them to make
them see and feel the necessities of the
work that press upon and Cypress some
of our hearts.
WE.ENPECT TO SEE
Every State President, and we want to
see every State Secretary. the fret day
and the first hour of the day. The Sec
retaries are the women who know all
about the business in their State, and
| all about who is hot and who is cold in
the work. and they know some other
things that they should be willing to
share with those who do not know
| them.
We expect to see every delegate from
every State, and we do hope no one is
going to hang back for trifies. We have
yet to see the woman smart enough to
hold State Office in church work who is
not smart enough to 60 or get anywhere
she has a,real mind to. And little OF
the spirit that makes people go on an
"outing" in fair, summer weather applied
to getting to our annual meeting will
surely land them right in at the start,
and keep them there at work, until the
finish. We have scores of such women
and we have others who can afford to go
where they have mind to. and we ex-
psct to see some of these sisters from
the big cities not so far off.
1T Is TO BE TUE MOST IMPORTANT
MEETING WE EVER HAD.
We shall need all the combined wis
dom of our elect women. to consider and
settle some Of the points we have to,
somehow. Our Association is in debt
and we want somebody to tell us how to
get out these tight times, without Grip.
ping the work We have an important
Amendment of the Constitution to con.
slider. And there are other things that
we refrain from mentioning because we
think enough has already been said to
make a real, live. loving Universalist
heart throb with sympathy. and we real.
ly expect to see more of you than at any
meeting we ever had. We have worked
hard hard to get up good program. and
the good people of DIR. Sweetser's
church, and Rev. Mr., Bisbee's will
entertain you as only Penpsylvanisns
] can,
