some very disagreeable facts. l think we
more than ever realized the strength and
Importance of the w. G. T. U. of our
country. Did we ever before realize the
amount of good it has accomplished, of
State, of National and of World fame?
Did we ever before stop to consider what
little here and little there rolled together
into one great whole would make power
of the magnitude of its present strength?
When she said, Girls this is no small thing
to which you belong, but an organization
of strength, to make nations feel its power,
we felt indeed it was noble thing to be
member of the Y. w. C. T. U. May the
mantle of her work fall on someone equally
competent. May the call God has given
her extend to others to uplift fallen hum
anity.
