LEE CO. 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.
