lucky enough to be invited by it's

beyond measure.
Mrs Rash laid aside all parliament

pleasure of meeting the speaker and
honor guest, Mrs. Ernberg, from

and delightful way.

open to the sun and breezes, and as

house was filled with the sound OF
happy voices.

everything that heart could wish.

to gather in the big hall that runs

chosen words introduced the speaker
of the day. Mrs. Ernberg then told
of her coming to Berea and OF her
great love for and deep interest in
