the fastest, being here today and far
toward Europe tomorrow.
Every ship has its homes To be
sure. the home is pretty much where
the man is. for 1t is made up of the
hammock, the ditty box. the clothes
sack and himself.
Every ship has its banks. Uncle Sam
has placed on board each ship great
vaults or safes which contain much
money. A junior officer told me that
on pay day he picks up the wrappings
and prays he may some day have even
part of the sum in the safe on his ship.
Each bank has it's staff of clerks and
officers. Every man on ship is mem
Der of the bank. He may be only
drawing member and never make any
deposits, or he may be a heavy de-
positor.
Pay who is the president of the
ships banking house, has his troubles.
Most of the men leave part. of the
pay on deposit with him. and they
draw it out so cents or dollar or two
at a time. There is also the savings
department of this bank. All money de-
posted q savings account must be
left until the enlistment is over. 1t

greetings from the national society.
At this point the program of the

ably.
The history of the society for &c
years was given III brief form bv Mrs
VIII B. Smith and was lightning as
to the breadth of the work.
After the historical address. the
toastmistress announced delightful
surprise by stating that Mrs. Abby Es-
tey Fuller had consented to favor them
with some "reminiscences. Mrs. Fuller
said she grew up in the atmosphere of
missions, both home and foreign, and
her inimitable address evidenced the
fact that she was thoroughly saturated
with her subject.
The interest of the Estey family il
the work especially among the Negroe.
of the South was the most natura
thing in the world because Deacon ia
cob Estey, with half dozen othe

tlonal side of their work.
The address par excellence on the
ruby of sacrifice was given by Mrs.
Moor of Brooklyn, and nothing more
choice or appropriate or delightful or
inspiring could be conceived. Mrs.
Moor was stranger to Brattleboro.
but certainly the 100 or more guests
of the occasion were entranced by her
address and she will receive a warm
welcome whenever she comes again.
The music furnished by the ladies'
quartet of the church and Mr.. Brasor
as sololst was especially appreciated.
The exercises of the evening closed
by the singing of America which was
appropriate.

this society to secure thank offering
or ruby offering of $4,000 to enable it
to push forward its work; this to be
entirely outside of the apportionment
and to be given as a free will offering
by he ladies of the North.
