years work Friday. We have nad
all kinds of trials to stand. We
had to give mp our beloved presi-
dent, Mrs. McNeish, and just as
we all learned to love and appreci-
ate her as our president she had to
leave us; but we are thankful to
know that we can expect her with
us for our next years work. Nei-
ther summers heat, winters cold.
April's showers or the hot, dusty
days have kept this faithful little
band from their work. As We spoke
of our former president this even
ing our hearts were filed with sor-
row and joy; sorrow that the one
who had made Friday what is to
us for eight long years, could not
throw her light and influence
around us with her sweet presence;
but joy that hers is now q reu-
nited fam lily, and that she is where
she is so happy. To me it seems
so fitting that our last lessons
should be about the Norsemen and
deal altogether with people that it
is so interesting to notice the
almost utopian conditions existing
even up to this day so far as sdu-
cation, religion, literature, govern
ment and general culture are con-
cerned. Iceland is now veritable
little Wonderland. Illiteracy is
unknown.
Mrs. Noble treated US to such a
pleasant surprise last week by hav-
ing cake, cream and fruit that Mrs.
Rollins thought sue would do like
wise, and as soon as we finished
our lesson, as if by magic table
rolled into the room fairly loaded
with good things to eat-cake,
cream, fruit-and | will let some
one else tell of our treat, but suf
flee 1t to say we all left wishing
that Mrs. Noble and Mrs. Rollins
would let us meet with them every
Friday.
Our next years work will be the
literature year, aud as class we
invite all who wish to do good
work to join us, aud from past ex-
perience we assure you that Mrs.
Townsend will make US just the
president we reed. Our work will
begin the 1st If October, but we in
tend to send for our books the 1st
of September. Take your money
and name to Mrs. G.. FL. Webb and
she will order the books.
Friday as our little class dis
banded beautiful rainbow dazzled
our eyes. and to my mind these
are the lovely colors it seemed to
reflect on our little band of work
ers: Union, kindness, good will,
prosperity, hope, peace and love.
When we work under such a can
opy as this can You wonder that to-
day our hearts were as sad as the
sweet school girl graduate when
she leaves her companions? We
have the sad knowledge that this
years class will never all meet
as a class again; next year some
member will not be with US, but
the beautiful color of hope reflected
in our rainbow makes US look for
ward to next years work with
pleasure, and we know that what
ever is, is best.
