deliberate emphatic voice she
BY saying Madam President W
IS not an easy place for 3 set 10Y
voice, 50 beg the floor 70 be pefLe-~
" quiet, for I stand before you IN
der a great concern OF mind Be-
EeTe the time IS fully come when l11
claims OF the parliamentary uSz,zS q --
partment should be more fully es1
ished-" Then she told how, d11lrz
burst Of applause, when one OF tE1
organizers was giving g. report OF her
work, she said to the lady who szt
next to her, How I wish I were -
organizer for then I could interest 20
listeners and the lady had rsp-iea
1 don't wonder, for really in y1lr
department there is nothing 20 tax
about Then the iron entered my
soul, for I remembered that had
been asked not TO give q report but 60
I tax about my department MADAM
President, how can even a woman
TAX II there is nothing to say2- But
| there is something to say for the
/ truth is that parliamentary law is the
/ center and the circumference and
/ both poles Of our entire work with
out IL, Lillian, the just, would never
/ have ruled over US; without II the
! gentle Anna (Anna Gordon, vice
4 president), who has never known
vice save that contained in the prefx
! TO her title, could not have assisted
without it the tender Clara (71rs.
Hohman) could not on occasion
| swOOp down on US not only with
! thoughts that breathe but with words
that burn; without il Hannah DIS
| Hannah Bailey, Quakeress, our time
keeper the Friendly, whose little
linking bell has tyrannized over us
Tor 10, these many years would have
lost her vocation; without il this MAJ
nifcent organization which today IS
blessing and uplifting the whole
| world would be without form and
void, and the cabalistic letters w c.
L q, which today thrill so many
hearts, would have had neither place
nor power. But I will not further
multiply words. Instead I ask for
ruling by the chair: Are the claims
OF this department forever fully es-
tablished? For, IL not, I hold in re-
serve, and viii. place in evidence an
array Of facts mountain high"
The chair ruled that the Importance
OF the department was fully estab-
lished-
Demonstration night was thought
by many to be the best yet" Each
year one evening is given up to de-
mOnstrating the work Of our various
departments and each superintendent
aTrangeS the most interesting tableauZ
or scenes which illustrate the aims OF
her department. This year the sup
erintendent Of the Flower Mission de-
partment brought the little neWsbOys
and girls, who had been selling papers
to US every day, on the platform, and
, other more favored boys and girls
gave them handfulIs Of flowers and
fruit You ought to have seen their
faces light up, and some Of the small
| er ones could not wait till they got
| of the platform to eat their fruit. The
/ next day one Of these newsboys was
| overheard asking another, Say, Bud,
are you goin' to be in it tomorrow
night?" 'Betcher life" was the re-
ply.
Other departments were equally
well represented. 81 tell you the
WOman's Christian Temperance I'm
ion is the biggest thing yeti" exclaim-
ed an interested spectator as the
crowd was passing out No one dis
/ puted him.
