May I express to the officers and to each member my appreciation for your consideration. If I have made mistakes it was done so unconsciously I regret that our faithful treasurer is unable to come to us to-day. She has sent you all greetings and will make her report later. In closing, may I add our one purpose should be "We are not here to dream or drift. We have hard work and loads to lift. Share not the work nor the struggle. It is God's gift. I thank you.
