Her paper was as follows:
Last November the Mills Club OF
Alameda county was greeted in a
most charming way by enc of
your members, Mrs. A. J. Campbell
She painted a word picture of your
beautiful islands, sea, shore, noun
tains and valleys, sunshine and shad-
ows, but not alone was 1t picture
Of nature for there in this jeWelled
setting cleaned and glistened the
heart Of gold, and the invitation to
visit the land of Hawaii / have ac-

shore. the same shadows and sunshine

throbbing in its setting Of nature.
We of the mainland greet you and
bid you welcomes, Last year II was to
glorious worlds exposition, the
Peace City, Only the memory Of
that beautiful dream remains, but it
has left It's impress on the life Of the

let me welcome you to the peace and
progress Of western achievement.
We have not risen from the fire Of
fhot and shell. but from the upheayai
or nature and the disastrous IRE Of
nineteen hundred and six. Had you
stood with me on the heights and be-
held city doomed and again nine
years later and beheld a city rebuilt
and within that city another of worlds
renown YOU would believe that dreams
can come true.
There is no disaster from which
good will not emerge IL the Way is
prepared. The chaos of Europe where
the civilized land is being tempest
tossed. shot and shell, inventions OF
war are wrecking and ravishing the

To attain to this protection of the
brotherhood of man there must be the
preparedness The seed. the plant, the
blossom Of wonderful flower.
The keynote Of the world today is
preparedness, and to you who repre-.
sent in the club world the Western

responsible for the great evils, or the
great good Is wrong: he or she may
be the instrument in the evolution of
time, but to understand the cause
and conditions leading up to war or
peace the wise person must not study
the situation of the present. but travel
far back into the past. discover the
seed, trace each branch and leaf until
the growth has developed into the
plant which we know and recognize.
At the worlds exposition in San
Francisco there was tapestry In the
California building The scene,
mountainous country; peak after peak
arose from the valley below. In the
valley a party Of pioneers are wend-
ing their way westward. The old
prairie schooner laden with the goods
of the home-seekers; women with
small infants and surrounded by the
smaller boys and girls of the party. !
Youths and men on horseback guard

watchful for danger. One man has
left the party and has climbed far
up the mountain side to a far distant |
peak, yet beyond him rises peak upon |
