After the luncheon Nine. Bernard
made very interesting talk on the

world. She said that she was partic-
ularly impressed with the vivid. mar
velous and quick vibrating sympathy
and the great hearts of the people of
the United States. 1.-The world is
practically and spiritually changed"'
said Nine. Bernard, people have
gained a newer and deeper conscious
ness of God. Women and girls have
new place in the world. Young girls
are freer and have more temptations
/ We women have work to the end of
our days"
Nine. Bernard said that there were
1900 French girls missing from one
town in France, who have been taken
into Germany by German soldiers. She
said that for four years and a half
over there they had been passing thru
things unbelievable but that they had
come out with an assurity that
God is as never before. otherwise
we couldn't have lived and kept our
reason" said Nine. Bernard.
From outside appearances, we are
a ruined country overseas" she said,
but what difference does that make
so long as the honor is there? The
vision is ours and the pleasure of CIV
ing the inner understanding is ours.
