, President of Sorosis ' , '
Delivers Annual Address
' A a recent business mecting'
( . . ! ' of Sorosis ; ; 1\lrs. 'Vm.Vilson , thc
president , dclivcrcd thc annual
address as follows :
Your delegate , Mrs. Holland
has given you a most excellent
report of the seventh h biennial ,
thc secret of whose power and
charm lies in that magic word-
: fricndship. Your president has
i . tried to give you just a glimpse
of the social functions where the
Nebraska delegates pa.tock . : of
the charming hospitality so grac-
iously extended to thc delegate
by thc hospitable c1ubwom'n of
' . . St. Louis. Our highest aim
would be to bring to you some of
the inspiration , thc spirit of true
devotion and helpfulness for
_ others and of thc grand and noble
work which is being clone by. this
great body of dignified self sacri-
ficing womcn-could you have
seen this gathering of women
coming from glacier bound Alas-
ka and sunny Florida-from thc
granite hills of New England and
. the flowery mead of California ,
from Ceylon , England and China ,
then you could realize more fully
that this "world encircling band
of woman's clubs , " hats ' its golden
. > _ , links more firmly united in thc
hearts of thoughtful earnest wo-
men , who arc marching in thc
. \ dawn of a brighter day , which
, makes an era of progress in one
of the greatest forces of the twen- . . . .
ticth century Yiz , the raising of
. the standard of homp.life , making
and happier.
it . . better and
_ By bringing into closer relation
the school the home and the
church. More and more are
. womcn impressed with the idea
.
that this world must be made
better through the ' efforts of
.J.
. women-women who have solved
f the true meaning of life by living l
up to the highest measure of
their own possibilities at the
same time seeking to lift up the
fallen and protect the helpless
innocent ones. Human happiness -
ness depends so largely upon
g.iving and receiving-we receive
from others that which helps and
encourages us--and we in our
turn must give to those around
us , to hive and grow is a
universal law of nature , and
"Freely ye have received ; freely
give" should be our motto. Our
rY fi state president , Mrs. \V. E. Page
1 gave a. pleasing report of our
state work and at the conclusion
'
" " - the Nebraska delegates presented
l\Irs. Page with large boquet of
. _ _ flowers and a replica of the 111e111-
\
. orial bronze tablet ( costing one-
thousand dollars ) presented to St.
Louis by the seventh biennial of
4 ,
woman's clubs in commcmoration
of the one hundredth anniversary
of the Louisiana purchase. In
listening to the report we felt
that ; Nebraska was doing her
part in the great work and that
Sorosis was yedrly adding her
m ita to the sumlof human happi-
ncss.'a have beautified our
library , given two successful
lecture courses ' which represents
days of hard work , we have visited -
ed the schools and tried to im-
prove the sanitary condition of
our city , have given our mite to
help educate a colored teacher ,
atHI tisel our influence in favor of
pure food , chiltl labor and juve-
nile.court laws and for library
extension.
As a club we have been helped
and strcnthened in many ways.
Our papers have been excellent
and compare most favoraby with
those of other clubs. Some one
has said , "that only now and
then is one born with the gift of
true expression. " Emerson says ,
and for an encouragement , that
"Nature arms each man with
some faculty which enables him
to do easIly some feat impossible
to any I other. " There are no two
whose talents are rivals , so if we
do not do the work we were intended -
tended to do it will remain un-
done.
This coming together in club
life , with its many avenues for
work , helps us find the work best
suited to us. To share our experiences -
periences , give us new thoughts
an.d ideas and a greater tolerance
for each others views and opin-
ions. Lifer seems more sacred as
we realize how much there is to
do for those less favored than
ourselves , and that it is not what
we have done for ourselves , but
what we have done for others
that will give us joy at the close.
Whatever our work or sphere
in life we can be true womanly
women , and add something of
kindly sympathy to brighten and
make better tll'e ' lives of others ,
for the cup of happiness in wo-
manly hands may scatter the
sweetest of earth's blossoms.
In closing , I wish to express to
officers and members of Sorosis
my heartfelt thanks for your loy-
alty and faithfulness , and for
your united and untiring efforts
to make Sorosis the successful
club center from which shall rad-
iate an influence that will broaden -
en the foundation laid for future
. growth. I have received at your
hands so much of kindness and
courtesy , so much of that encouragement -
agement and genuine approval ,
which makes the hardest work a

pleasure-my mistakes and errors
you have covered so closely with
that sweet mantle of charity.
I cannot tell you how deeply
this has touched my he rt. If
there were troubled hours , by
your generous sympathy and
helpfulness , the mist's were lifted
and rolled way like fleecy clouds
before the blue sky ; and in the
future , " when across the va.l shed -
ed years" will come back , so of-
ten , the picture of your helpful
loving faces. The memory of
your loyalty and friendship will
be to me a most sacred thing to
be treasured throughout my life ,
the sweetness of which will stimulate -
ulate me to further endeavor and
encourage me to 'a loftier aim ;
"for to live in the hearts and
lives" of our friends is a glimpse
of paradise , and to me the most
precious gift that life can bcstow.
tllo your new president I extend
' ( l most cordial greeting and can
ask for her no greater boon than
a continuance of that loving
courtesy so freely extended to me.
