MRS. o'BRYANT's ADDRESS

Madam Chairman,
President w. M. U. of Water Valley,
And Friends
Your gracious words of welcome
have gone straight to our hearts, and
for them we thank you sincerely.
You say our coming is joy to you,
and we know our being here is joy
to US.
Water Valleys far famed reputa-
ton as hostess city is now at stake,
but we already fully realize that the
city is thoroughly capable of sustain
ing her name. She is keeping true
to it by literally showering, flooding
and deluging her visitors with beauti-
full courtesies too numerous to men,
ton.
For twelve months we have thought
of our coming to your beautiful and
picturesque valley, but now find that
participation is far more pleasant
even than anticipation, and we kindly
request that for you the present may
have no burdens and the future no
regrets; for since we have had the
good fortune to win your hearts, we
wish to have the merit to keep them.
Indeed this is "good Morning"
We are now in the very beginning of
days of rich experiences when life
touches life, and heart meets heart
to strive for better day in the King
dom of our Lord and His work.
One of the charms of youth is that
| it represents the bright, cheerful
morning of life. In the church we
begin our children in the Sunbeam
Society; the day draws on and they
reach the G. "A. or R. A. The day
draws on farther and they are in the
Y. w. A. The day draws on space and
we find ourselves in the mature W. M.
Is.
At this time-the third year of our
10 million campaign-the stress is
great, because we are in the middle
of the stream where the current is
strongest and we have to drift or
struggle against adverse conditions
in order to stem the tide. By united
effort and persistent activity we shall
win the day.
Again expressing our full appre-
citation for your most hearty and roy
al welcome, we thank you
