OP
Delivered by M-a. A. I. Blow to
The
Delegates, friends and you the
loved and honored representative
of mother circle, Mrs. Davis,
we, King's of
Greenville, to say that extend
to yon heart-felt greetings;
that we welcome you to our town
to homes, to our hearts, would
but feebly express our feelings.
We are indeed filled with a deep
joy and appreciation of the high
privilege of coming in touch, of
meeting face to face, with
of our workers, members of
some of you
yet all sisters, with one
father, one purpose and one
We realize that you are here,
not simply to gratify
ed joy of having you come, you
wanted come, for a renewal of
our vows of love to God service
That by united prayer
and zeal we might accomplish
much to hasten the coming of His
Kingdom. But more than this
have come because there
dwelt on earth a great unselfish
boundless love, which spent
itself on the poor, the humble, the
homeless, the out cast, the heart
broken and the wanderer. It is in
His name and for His sake that
yon are here. No cause is greater
than this, which we have pledged
ourselves, may we not forget to
preserve the dignity and
of our high calling.
Let us enter upon the be-
fore us with our hearts filled with
Christian charity. May only the
best way to do the best work for
God humanity, claim our
every thought. Let neither per-
or prejudice part
in our decisions. Let sunlight
of service illumine oar faces and
with the simplicity trust of
little children open hearts to
be filled with wisdom and
from our Father, that will
guide us all deliberations,
while the earnest silent prayer
that ascends from every heart,
should be, Lord what would
Thou have us do t
And then with joy we realize
the wide, wide field for service, the
vast comprehensiveness of the
work of our order. The import-
emphasis it gives to little
things that no act, be it r so
lowly, la ever lost when done
His and for His sake. The
privilege of doing great,
deeds is limited lo u very few,
it is conscientious care of
the little things of our daily
which is outcome the good.
By a faithful discharge of each
duty realizing it as a part of the
work He assigned us we glorify
the and exact all of
life into divine and service.
It perhaps seemed a little
fifteen years ago to
women whose hearts were filled
with love for God and their fellow-
men to meet together pledge
themselves to reconsecrate their
lives more fully to one service of
the Master and send out an appeal
to every heart that beat a
throb to join in this work
love. This
on the part this little group
of women was foundation of
our Mother circle Central
It was this small
that laid the corner stone
of our great order of The
King's Daughters and Sous.
This spirit of service has traversed
seas and mountains, to distant con-
and islands until now,
nearly every nation of the earth
are wearers of tho silver cross,
thus including a army of
thousands and tens of
who are willing to testify to the
joy of Christian service, that
the Christ life means to be
Ministered Unto, but to
Let each of us have a clear and
comprehensive understanding of
principles essential spirit
of our order. We know that its
vital meaning is to spirit-
life and stimulate Christian
activities. That the work first
commences in our own hearts, then
itself in our daily lives,
in our homes, in the church to
which we belong, in the
in which we live. It arrogates
to itself no qualities, it
boasts of no new thought, but to
engage with renewed zeal in the
work already begun.
We know what the silver cross
has meant our own lives as
we know the quickening
and blessing that has come through
its influence to great religious
movements bearing fruit in a
forms of and
auxiliary to nearly every depart-
of the church of God.
But let us not rest on its laurels,
which should be only an
for deeds, for future
conquests, but push with
ardor born of i deathless love to
greater victory to yet untried Melds

given each of us some talent, some
