encouraged us. Even the knowledge of
our perseverance and hope will create
belief in the strength of our cause"
In her judgment, the paper is part
of the mission work of the association,
and the question of it's continuance de-
pending upon the support of subscrib-
ers, the thought ought not to be con-
sidered.
She served the association most faith
fully, as state secretary for six years
preparing also a full historical sketch
of the association during the first eight
years Of it's existence. She stood for a
profound spiritual and sympathetic
force in all the causes and interests to
which she allied herself; giving her

Lavina Cornelius, who was gradu-
ated last year, returned to Oneida,
Wis. and worked most successfully as

vacation and change to eastern climate
| for few weeks brought rest and re-
stored strength.
