tention, and it told the members of u year
full of IrOgress. Mrs. Miller said:
THE year that has passed into eternity
has added another ring to that strange,
deathless, magic tree called Time, and we
are assembled to-day to examine the fabric
we have woven, the work we have performed.
Many changes have taken place, many
weayers have been taken, but the work
has moved steadily and firmly along,
growing better with every difficulty over
come, every obstacle surmounted for the
roots Of the life of our Order lie too deep for
the sickle to inj Ire even when the leaves
and blossoms are cut away. And so the
loom has moved along with white threads
and dark ones mingling i'll woof and warp.
and to-day We bring you the finished fabric
for your inspection.
'One year ago, in the Queen City of the
West, We took the obligation to look after
the interests of the Order carefully watch
over them, and TO do the best in our power.
This We promised as member Of our Order,
and on our honor as woman. Days
have passed and gone, and to-day, in the
City Of Brotherly Love, We are ready tC
give You an accounting, not asking mercy
for what has not been accomplished, but
earnestly, in Fraternity, Charity, and
Loyalty, bringing you the resume of oul
efforts and awaiting your judgment"
The W.R.C. Home at Madison was one
of the important subjects touched upon in
the address. This Home, which is sup
ported by the W.R.C., has accomplished
much good in caring for aged members oi
the Order.
