srd. The al important purpose
which We were organized.
In the early period of our existence
few thought that the insignificant
number would ever reach. the stage Of
Importance which we justly claim at
this time.
While similar organizations have
proceeded and followed us, some with
partial success, and Others resulting in
utter failure. We claim unbOastfuIly
for membership and activity that the
Easter Lily Club stands out pre-
eminent to all similar organizations of
the women Of our race
We have held uppermost one chief
purpose-that Of helpfulness. Being a
local organization we are in immediate
touch with every member of our club.
We allow no ease of sickness, distress
or death to occur without immediate
attention.
The requirements as to membership
is limited to age-eharaeter, a very
reasonable sum Of one dollar for en-
trance fees and a small monthly pay
ment 80 cents as dues.
Our present large number is growing
and each meeting is attended with a
large number Of applications for mem
bership. Our work is done upon a
departmental system, the financial part
Of our clubs interest.
Each department of our club is I'M
der a supervision Of chairman who is
responsible to the club for a full dis
charge Of their duty. Thus it is that
the Easter Lily Club, has prospered
and grown from q small number Of
women to a membership Of 5,046, and
today we have q larger membership
and better financial standing, than
we have had at any time during our
existence as a club.
Tuly we have withstood the storms
Of criticisms and OppOsitions but our
motto has been and shall forever be,
charity to all, injustice toward none.
As head Financial Secretary, I de-
sire TO quote from our records these
interesting facts that you may be
more fully informed upon what our
efforts have been and what we have
accomplished.
The Easter Lily Club at the present
has a total membership of 3,O46 mem
bers.
During the year of which $5,7s590I
paid in last 6 months we have paid
for sick benefits the sum of $4,000.
For the same period we have paid for
death benefits the sum of $3,I25.35.
We have collected for dues and assess
ments the sum of $1O,153.46. We have
on deposit in the illinois Trust & Saw
ings Bank $1,96421. We have depo-
sited on checking account, Franklin
Savings Bank s4l9, $471 and $356.25.
We have invested in Liberty Bonds
for ten years $4,000. Making a total
in cash and bonds $3,69O.7s. And a
grand total paid out for sick and death
benefits during the two years Of the
Eve secretaries work the sum of $780,
7O6-9O. The total collection for the
same 22,9SO.60.
And We are glad TO say that all Of
1919 death claims are paid. of 1920.
We have had go deaths in years Of
service, Is deaths in 1920.

Beneath the shadows Of Gods ten.
der mercies and His love we the mem.
bers of the Easter Lily Club, have
assembled once more to unite our voices
in songs of praises and prayers OF
thanksgiving unto Him who has pre-
served US and has made Us stronger
and prepared US for a better work in
our 9TH year.
We are here to rejoice in a knowl-
edge of our existence and for the good
that we have accomplished during the
pas, year, and to rejoice in the fact
that the Hand that created the heavens
and nodded the earth, that Hand, that
planted the stars, and formed the seas,
that Hand has so weaved us together
and so shaped our destinies that we
have been ever. ready TO respond to its
call for service and obey His com
mand.
The history of the Easter Lily Club
has been told to you. You perhaps
are familiar with our aims and pur-
poses, possibly you have some knowl-
edge of our numbers and influence,
hence it is our purpose at this time to
dwell upon some Of the activities Of
the Easter Lily Club, which has meant
success to US in all our efforts.
lst. Our organization was not acct
dental but prOvidential, and the
founder was a God called woman-in-
spired as much as ever was a Prophet
old Old. She was called from, among
her own and she knew the needs Of the
hour and the necessities of the day.
Truly has the Poet said that,
"GOd works in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform
He plants his footsteps on the sea
And ndes upon the storm"
When we review the fact that he
called Moses from attending Jethro s
flock to the greatest leadership Of all
ages-Or Abraham Lincoln, the rail
splitter, to perform the one task so
needful to humanity, is it any wonder
that he should call Emma Smith, a
green country woman, who did not
know a mail-box when she saw it, for
the task Of organizing and leading
this great eoneourse of women, q good
representation Of which you see here
today, and this my friends is one Of
the secrets Of successful permanent
organization.
End. We see in this the value of
fidelity and responsibility for Emma
Smith, in her judgment and wisdom
chose for her assistants women who
were sincere conscientious and true, re-
gardless Of friendly associations or
kindred ties, it was hers to meet the
demand of the day by selecting those
to assist her who would measure up to
the requirements, and anyone who
knows the exigeneies Of such q choice
will readily see that it Is no easy task
but requires the function Of a mas
ter's mind.

Three Hundred Carloads Pass

Beginning with last night and So

300 car loads of Pennsylvania Rail-.
road freight is being daily diverted
over the Baltimore and Ohio. The
freight is received by the G, V. K. X.
at Harrisburg, Pa, brought to Cum.
bo, this county, and sent from here
over the Baltimore and Ohio To
Pittsburgh, where it Is turned back
to the Pennsylvania. The only reas-
on assigned for this is that the Penn-

haul. The diverted freight will give
employment 10 about nine additional
train crews.
