We feel to congratulate the regent,
Mrs. Bina Preble, who has success
fully passed beyond the danger line
of tie measles and is on the road to
recovery but regret that she should be
absent from this meeting, the first
one she has missed this year.
We call ourselves a body of patrio-
tic women, our chief object, the well
fare OF our country. In the coming
year let us try to realize more fully
the meaning of patriotism. It means
vastly more than flying the colors on
national holidays or placing wreathes
or the graves of departed heroes,
although all this Is we'll. Our great
est duty Is to the living and. patrio-
tism. like charity, begins at home.
"He who best serves his home. best
serves his country"
We talk much of our ancestry. 1t
is great and glorious feeling to
know that we have come OF long
line of fine sturdy stock. We may be
excused for having a bit of pride
swelling in our hearts, when we re-
member that some of our kith and
kin reached these shores by way OF
the "Mayfiower" and that we had rep
resentatives at Lexington and Con-
cord and Valley Forge. The early
lawmakers of the country had men,
bers of our family among their num-
Der. They were worthy sires. And
yet what does it all amount to If we
inst aaftle hack and rest on their
laurels?
Let us not be ancestor worshipers
but ancestor followers of the up
rightness and the big fine traits that
wore theirs. Let lis not lose sight
of the fact that we are the ancestors
of the future.
