to pass $5 on to the national union
as a token of thanksgiving for the
glorious success OF this years work.
Mrs. Wheeler's address and report
as secretary Y. p. b. was another
lstartling revelation of what coul
be accomplished with faithful
leader in the field. Eight hundred
and twenty-three new members
were reported.
Mrs. Unruh stated there was g
