Relief Corps; all kinds of cakes and
pies and some fine coffee and every
thing good to eat.
The respective members of the Wo-
mems auxiliary organization, the Wo-
mems Relief Corps of the G. A. r. are
deserving of great praise for their To-
cal work, in organizing and perfecting
this organization in 1921. They have
done and are doing great work in
Pensacola, seeking out and helping ev-
eryone who requires anything, not
alone in the membership of the G. A.
r., but the visitors and strangers COM
ing here ARE looked after regardless of
creeds or membership in this organi-
cation. They extend their help and
sympathy and good work to all. God
bless these noble women who are de-
voting their time and means to the
administration and happiness not alone
of strangers that come here but to the
comrades OF the G.. A. r. and their
families. Their services are given
freely and they receive no recompense;
their expenses of carrying on this
good work is paid by themselves, vol
UNFAIRLY giving their labor and susie
nance for the good of humanity; but,
while they get no earthly reward, nor
expect any, they will not lose their re-
ward, for the blessed Master whose
example they try to emulate will re-
ward them with a crown Of everlast-
ing life.
