How it caused inquiry and Interest
in the objects and work of the order
citing the statement of a shop CIR
that nine-tenths of her customer.
were ignorant Of the meaning Of the
cross and would ask her about It;
that the prime motive of curiosity
led to investigation eliminating in
j good results, just as Moses investi
gated the burning bush in curiosity
resulting n manifestation by God
of the work there for him to do
That Christ said follow me. That
we should follow him in deeds and
in work. Doing the work of the or
der was following Christ.
Saturday evenings session opened
at 1880 o'clock with devotional SER
vices by Mrs. Geo. S. Brown. Rest
Awhile report was made by Mrs. Geo
A. Williams, after which there was
music, report of Balloting Commit
tee, introduction of and charge to
new officers and executive committee
by Mrs. Evans. Mrs. Evans said
there were three things essential in
the practice of the teachings of the
] order: faith, hope and love. Faith
in their order, faith in each other,
faith in self. Hope, because opt.m-
ism is lightener of burdens and a
torch to light up the dark places in
the path of progress; hc-;c for the
order, by looking forward to a great
er future, better work and greater
accomplishment. Love for the order,
love for each other and love for Him,
the King"
At the close of the business ses-
sion, the memorial exercises, a
tribute to Miss Sophie Wright, took
place. Mrs. Evans spoke very feel
ingly of the lovliness of Kiss
Wright's character, and how she had
been impressed by the wonderful en-
ergy of SO frail bocy. Her first
view of Miss Wright lad been at
Wheeling, West Virginia. Subse
Quently she had met her and had
the work she was now doing through
Wright. That Miss Wright was an
inspiration; that her footprints were
found only in pathways that led to
achievement of good things. Miss
Wright had asked her to take up the
work of the Kings Daughters, be-
cause she knew she was capable of
doing 1t. Her efforts had always
been increased by the memory of the
patience, the perseverance, the optim-
ism and faith that had characterized
Miss Wright and that made her un-
dertakings impossible of failure.
At the conservation services, Sum
day. Mrs. Evans said that she hoped
the convention would always be a
pleasant memory to ca. b and every
one present. That they would never
all meet again in the same place or
in quite the same way. Kneeling in
prayer she sked for a silent un-
spoken supplication for the good of
the whole order, for each member Of
her family, for our own mercies and
good to others less fortunate than
ourselves, and in the final end the
glory of eternal life.
The playing of Mrs. Barthelemy

Barrow and Miss Greff was greatly
enjoyed.
