mans Auxiliary have been invited
to use these rooms as a place OF
meeting where their supplies may be
stored. conferences held and other
activities carried on.
"This arrangement has been made
through an allowance on the part
of the trustees, and there is every
reason to expect that having such
place will add greatly to the eff
ficiency of diocesan organization in
all departments. 1t is hoped that
the Womans Auxiliary will make
large use of it.
Upon the sad and sudden death
of Miss Helen Littell. by whose un-
bounded energy and stimulating en-
thusiasm so much was accomplished
in the WOman's Auxiliary. certain
of her friends expressed hope that,
as a memorial to her a diocesan
house might be secured for this was
a desire very close to her heart.
THAT matter is still before us. II
would he highly appropriate that her
name should he permanently assOci-
ated with such project. While the
present arrangement is a tempOr-
airy one. it is my hope that, having
put the hand to the pillow. we shall
not turn back hut to see to it that
some such center of work is cstah-
lished here or elsewhere and that
such a center hear her name"
