In emphasizing her belief thit XY state cf thirds can not lorg continue, lira.

Mrs. Feels, who was elected gent cf the a. F. W. C.

at the Seattle ctr.ver.iicn In June for a term cf three years, his averted; No organization is to answer the chiller. cf the times than ours. Our rr.ichi. la all err.tracirz, ctjt workers are trained, and no ti questions ths cf our great organization to this try cf curs. If I were asked to rut ir to cr.e wcrd the greatest be cf today I should not hesl tta to tay that deadly In dJiere.

ee that Is slowly eating its wy 5 th very foundations of cttr i the tendency to theorize, ths xt tx'ance to practice, the ease with vh: we talk, the difiicuity with which work. It is unthinkable, of course, at such a state of things can 1 r.g but there's only one way to it, to Inoculate the people cf today the crusader spirit cf our fathers ar.d mothers of long ago. 5ecre cf Clubwomen la Broad. its a country built upon four stones: Home, school, ccm EturJiy and church Can you name an crjsnizatlrn that Is closer, to these ecrner sicnes than ours? Our club women are the fcoEemakerx of the land, the active supporters cf our pub II 5 school, the energetic workers In tha ecrr.r unities and the Christian liadcrs ci cur country. But when the fctms ar; blamed for the lawlessness cf cur the schools for failing to reduce citizens fully equipped to deal with the problems of today, the com cur.ity allowing a selfish minority to control Its municipal affairs, and the church for not meeting the problems cf today.

It Is time for woman r.tod to te up and doing. Now do ret for cr.e moment believe that all ef this criticism Is just, for we can all race hemes, schools, communities and churches that are meeting and solving the twentieth century problems, and those examples should make us realize that this great land of ours can regain Its civic and moral leadership In the "ir never thrill me particularly to te tcld that my country ts the richest and mcJt powerful of all the nations but I would be thrilled to hear thst the United States of America made wi.ee laws and obeyed them, stv to It that every child bad. a chance for normal, sane living, and that the people cf the land were Ood fearing, leyal citizens. This Is cot et'y to attain In a population of over of many racial strains and with widely differing backgrounds, nd a than 63 per cent, active citizenship In this so called democracy of ours. And still would not lower our real Just because it Is 1 difficult ef achievement.

We do indeed rejoicn in the thought that depression can be ccr. uered, that respect for Jaw can be the groundwork cf our elvtc health and that the Christian principles cf living can be practiced as well as preached, not by the few, but by ths mar if we so desire.
