Last summer thousands of men met
in Chicago and Denver to construct
other platforms on which they urged
the men of the country to stand.
Wemen's Clubs for years have been
building their platform slowly but
surely. Not building it amid politi
cal excitement. nor for reason of ex-
pcdicncy. nor under the instruction
of political leaders. -.
Their platform had few planks in
the beginning. but they have been ad-
ding new ones as new problems con-
fronted them. These planks are
named in the various departments of
the Women's Clubs.
We have come together to learn
how we may solve these problems.
how to work most effectively for the
best results.
Remembering all these things we

of all these great causes, we thank
you for coming and on behalf Of the
Woman Club Of Rocky Ford, I bid

(By Mrs. w. d. MePherson.)
The thought that is uppermost on
this occasion, Is grateful praise; that
our species Of all the animal crea-
tions was created in the Creators
own image. Also. that we. in our
advancement. are becoming more
like Him.
Primitive man was but an animal
except he was endowed with intellect
and a soul like the Creator.
As mans intellect quickened he
began to advance. To master all 9TH
er creation. That man did not ad-
vance sooner, we have diseases for
every muscle, bone, nerve and drop
of blood, should be firm, strong and
pure to fulfill the Creators plan.
Mastering and improving the ami
NAL species and vegetable life; con-
trolling the forces of the air, earth
and water, in telcgraphy. electricity,
| the telephone, steam, arts, sciences,
and all the common things of life are
but praise to Him who created US in
mis- own image.
| In primitive days little Cain, Abel
and the others probably learned their
lessons from Dame Nature where
ever she listed. And or the Sabbath
day humanity worshippcd the un-
known God in his first temple, the
groves; and under the blue vault OF
heaven.
But now, everywhere is evidence OF
mans intellect and advancement in
our schools, universities. churches.
| libraries, arts and science. All these
are but praise.
