My comrades of the board thought It, perhaps, only a fresh airing of my hob by. But, Indeed, dear friends, do not the achievements of woman In new and untried lines, since this awakening to the broader scope of her abilities, du ties and responsibilities, fully justify my seemingly audacious statement? Do not the gains already made In so brief a time, and despite the barriers to be overthrown, sem magical, miraculous? "This gathering, dear friends, its numbers and the vaster majority which It represents, the enthusiasm and uplift of the tender companionship which has outleaped all limits of sect, society and class, to plant Itself firmly on the simple basis of a common womanhood does not this eclipse In its power and possibilities all the mechanical achieve ments of science, all advance In art and literature, In that, or In any century? "My own profoundest wish, my un quenchable longing (faith as well) is that the power of organized woman hood In our clubs, and in ail kindred efforts by women toward social better ment and the safety of the home, should make and will make, its united protest against war that ghastly ana chronism of our civilization and our LbbbbbbbbbbEibbbbbbbbbbbbbbkbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbi V.
