 . The birth of these patriotic hegin- nings soon developed full growth and in the history Of Faith Trumbuil chap . ter may be found recorded all historic and literary work. In our native New England there was found a great work for all to do. The field for historic research has ever been broad. We found sleepy mad dusty with decay very many neglected spots. For real age none more So than the ancient burying ground made sacred by the ! ashes of our patriots and 6oubly so when sought out and boulder placed to the memory of 20 French soldiers who early came to America, to help in r our struggle for freedom. May we . not raise devout praise to the great overwhelming power that ies permit tedE America at this late period to re- ] pay so grandiy our debt to the noble French nation?
 The many functions and literary work have kept our chapter fully oc- . cupied, and most heartily has Faith Trumhulf chapter entered into all work at state conferences, public dem onstrations and whenever needed to ! forward our pledged work. And while there might come before our notice an 5 endless list we can point to only some s few which we recall with reverence and pride.
