The end OF the fiscal year for
the Island Federated Aid was
marked by joyous picnic at the
nome Of DR.. and Mrs. +. Nj. Me
Holland, at Quartermaster which
1verlookll the inner bay of the
East passage. 1t is beautiful
spit chosen for charming home
Tnosl hospitality was extended
to the Aid for this meeting. Mr.,
McHolland' was assisted by Mrs
+. W. Bibbins together with the
.ine corps of "Aiders" who help
10 make the bountiful spread
laid under the trees on the laMn
such a spread-there was ev.
erythinsi good--new potatoes,
not and mashed spaghetti, hot
Coffee sandwiches. salads, pick
les, cake-really wonderful cake,
you might apply the adjective to
all the other eats too, and you
ate cafeteria style-only you re,
plenlshed yourself twice, thrice
even more, some say, and all the
while visiting was going OH.
Some extremely funny jokes
caught the writer's ear in spite
Of much preoccupation over a
third plate. Island women seem
noted for their wit.
After dinner the business
meeting took place, Mrs. S. S.
Hoover, presiding. Forty-two
ladies answered to roll call. Sev.
eral visitors We're also present.
Adjournment was taken until
Sept. 4, when Mrs. Hoover will
entertain the Aid at her home in
Vashon.
After the busime4js meeting
Mrs. Bibbins introduced Mrs
Sawyer who is a Salvation Army
worker. having spent 35 years in
the service of the army. She
proved to be very interesting
speaker and told in an eloquent
way some things concerning the
work and her experiences as "a
Stun worker where she spent sew.
en- years of her young woman
hood and where she learned that
souls INLAY be helped-even saved,
lifted from the, mire of sin-by
human agency, when that is in
cooperation with the love and
POWER of God. Mrs. Sawyer car
ries the scar on the left side Of
her face where a drunken man
hurled brick, striking her dur.
ing her labor of love among such
fallen men. Her stories We're
touching in their sadness yet in
spring in the fact that there are
consecrated men and women who
are giving up as Mrs. Sawyer
herself did, diamond earrings and
silk dresses, toI go down in the
jarime of ignorance and vice to
lift up souls, soiledI even dis
torted, to knowledge and eX-
pericnce of a redeeming love.
Mrs. Sawyer Says every one
was once an innocent babe, and
that always an appeal can reach
the heart Of the sinner when
made through that early life and
memory of early love surround
inc it. Mrs. Sawyer is spending

was then introduced and greeted
with applause. Mrs. Caine has
"a charming way of telling of the
birds of Western Washington,
and of making one feel that they
are really what she represents
them to be--little people who
build wonderful homes and work
hard to rear perfectly wonderful
children for the delight and benert
fit of mankind.
Mrs. Game had an interesting
collection of birds and their

reunion at the Odd Fellows hall
on Saturday, June 14th. This
meeting had been previously an

cool weather made it seem rather
disadvantage for a picnic under
the trees Especially for the older
folk and so the plan Of meeting
indoors and at centrally locat-

haart-warming mditing. There
was a bountiful dinner followed
by the business meeting which
covered matters pertaining to the
