Mrs. JENNIE WOoDCoCK; Secretary,
MRS. ADA FARNHAM Treasurer.
The book of books teaches us to
live for others. Those who do
this make the most Of life.
Many appreciative words are
spoken of the instructors in the
summer school. / wish particu-
larly to mention Mrs. @. E.
Guthrie. Her earnestness seemed
to enthuse those who met her with
desire to be of more real worth
in the world.
One young lady said in my hear
ing Life has seemed almost a
dream, in fact scarcel y worth liv-
ing till l met Mrs. Guthrie and
heard her address to the young
woman's christian temperance
union. Since then | seem to see
something to live for and realize
that life is real" Yes life is what
we make it.
Several said "what a chance she
must have had to be so compe-
tent" But how many have taken
three years work IN one and passed
in seventeen subjects because they
were determined to fit themselves
for higher work. Not only this
she did hard work as housekeeper
for her father on a farm, till COM
plete rest and surgeons knife
we're necessary to restore health.
Her mother was noble chris
tian woman who died and left a
large family. The seven girls all
became teachers. The father is
still doing lucrative business.
am glad | could have Mrs. G. in
my home even in a short time also
glad of the privilege of meeting
her estimable husband, who has
been superintendent of high
schools in different parts of the
State for several years past and is
now fitting himself for a physi-
clan.
The self-made man and woman
always find a place among the best
in this busy world. We make ou1
own chances if we succeed.
