by their works We shall know them"
/ can truthfully say, ladies, it is with
much pleasure l will endeavor to tell
of our former officers and members of
the Searchight Club After being n
member of one of the best clubs in the
! Jurisdiction of Colorado over eighteen
years, | cannot help knowing something
of the personal of officers and mem
bers who filled their places with dig
nifty and intelligence, women who came
to the Golden West to cast their lot
for the good of the community they
selected to help build. l know they
| filled their places as only good women
can. Our past officers and members
were true wives, mothers, Christians,
citizens. They were true club women
whose interest in the work meant sue
cess from start to finish. These wOm-
en- made it their aim to ever be up and
doing for everything of interest for all
concerned. When the officers and
members of the past met, happiness
and peace prevailed; each and every
one was anXiously waiting to do their
part and be part of what is now a
passed history of this grand club OF
women, who little dreamed of the
pleasure we are enjoying today because
of their foresighted view of the ). L..
c. future.
You that may be spared another

TO tell of your faithfulness, co-opera-

among you? VIII you look back the
same number of years and tell some
of the good you have accomplished, or
will it be otherwise?
| hope you can boast of more sue
cess, for instance, a club home, orphan
age and n home for homeless girls
boys, old men and women, and other
things worth while. Our passed Off
GERS and members paused not to par
ley over petty grievances as so many
great and good problems were ever be-
fore if not work on the outside of our
club. A first-class study of some good
history, bible or play Authors worth
while every woman worked hard to be
at her best, and could be depended on.
The past officers and members were
women of broad mindedness, each one
strieved to bring their broad club spirit
to each and every one with whom they
came i'm contact. The past Officers
and members success was due to the
Intelligence of harmony the good there
was in each other.
/ wish could bring those who have
passed before you and convince you of
their good for all, malace toward none
and charity to all. While some have
passed to the east, others north, south
or west, their work with us still lives.
We pause a moment to speak of some
of our beloved ones who finished their
life's work with us after years of faith
full service, doing their best to make
