INVITED SISTERS

''They always were sisters under their skin,' though for years in passion they denied it; they are now in every sense, and consciously, sisters again-with hearts taught once more to love one arother and hands once more extended to each other.
 "Iadies and gentlemen, the past Is saved. Now a present faces us A trou- blous time in which we have thrown in our lot as participants in the greatest world conflict that has ever been seen, and as participants on the side of lib- erty, representative institutions, and na- tional ndependencies, against military autocracy and proposed Teutonic world dominion under Prussian hegemony. Now this building, whose dedication we are celebra ting, and which we are conse- crating to the memory of the women or the sixties is devoted to the present ana future use of the women of this and later generations, north and south both, Who' as members of the Red Cross association, shall spend their money and themselves to assuage suffering and cure wounds.

significant and delightful to my thought about the fact that this building should be dedicated to the memory of the women both of the north and the south. It is a sort of landmark of the unity to which the people have been brought so far as any old question which tore our hearts in days gone by is concerned, and I pray God that the outcome of this struggle may be that every other element of difference among us will be obliterated and that some day his torians will remember these momen- tous years as the years which made single people out of the great body Of those who call themselves Americans.
 'The evidences are already many that this is happening. The divisions which were predicted have not oc- cured and will not occur. The spirit of this people is already united and when effort and suffering and sacri- flee have completed the union men will no longer speak of any lines either of race or association cutting athwart the great body of this nation. So that feel that we are now beginning the processes which will some day re- quire another beautiful memorial erected to those whose hearts uniting, united America"
 WILLIAMS SPEAKS
 Speaking on '"The Women of the South" Senator John Sharp Williams Of Mississippi, said in part:
 The southern women of the sixties bore all, suffered all, dared all, gave all, with out any external support save trust in the love of God, and of their men folk; actuated only by love and devotion to the cause of southern independence. to the cause of the white race it's physical and social and racial integrity, and it's enlight- ened and enlightening domination

and of private individuals who have conceived their duty in a noble spirit and upon great scale. It is significant that it should be dedicated to the wom- en who served to alleviate suffering and comfort those who were in need during our civil war, because their thoughtful, disinterested, self-sacrif1c- ing devotion is the spirit which should always illustrate the services of the Red Cross.
