The devotional service preceded the business meeting, during which nine took the pledge and were admitted to membership. Two ‘new names were gent In to be acted upon at the next meeting. Then the leader, Mrs. Louis O. Potter, gave the chapter history of thé past twenty years from the first meeting of five women who saw the need.of the unfortunate about them and desired to help. The first ideal was a home for worthy women and the reports of the first years showed un- tiring zeal towards its attainmient; then came its opening, when rooms were fitted up by t different circles, its maintenance. which meant labor and sacrifice; finally the transfer of the home into other hands. Still keep- ing their loving interest in all its do- ings yet since 1907 the circle has also been able to take up other lines of work. Full of vitality, the members draw closer to each other. “I can and I will” is often heard, never “I can't” So may we continue in our efforts to bring His kingdom upon earth. Mrs. W. H.
