Things OF solid worth developed, and it
was to the greater credit of the body he
addressed that they had come up through
trials and disappointments The Episco-

clared, the woman of the church possess
the same heroic fiber that runs through
the men.

the joys and pleasures their work has
given them than of the sacrifices and
labor 1t entailed. That was the true
spirit full of unselishness, grit hero
ism, and it was most prominent in the
character of women

which had taken place in church affairs
and of the good work accomplished by
the church He touched upon lessons

in the future.
