The Sacrifice Of Service.
Mrs. Pennybacker closed with a
strong appeal to the club women TO
remember always that their leaders
are continuously making sacrifices OF
themselves. for the great good of the
cause of the women.
"My hair is more grey, my eyes
are more dim, my hands are less
strong than when you placed upon
me the mantel of office" she said "but
l have had my recompense. 1t has
not come in honor; it has not come
in words of praise, though you have
been thousand times more generous
to me in both these respects than
deserve. but honors and praise are
empty. 1t has come IN affection, in
that tender understanding and sympa-
thy that has been confined not to my
own beloved City-nO city has lavish
ed upon its officer more generously
than have you.
For my increased faith in woman
kind. for my abiding conviction in the
strength of our national unity, I
thank you, because without having
had the privilege of serving You
these blessings would not have been
mine"
