♦ DEVELOPMENT. *
♦♦4444444*41444,
The few years that mark the history
of our Georgia Federation of -Women's
clubs clearly demonstrate a steady ;
growth in the development of the indi- ,
vidual woman, in the character anil .
importance of the clubs and in the
high estimation of the federation in
the public mind.
The club woman has gained clear
ness of thought and definiteness of
punpose. We see “poise and self-pos
session where once there was tremor
of heart and nerve.” There is also
earnestness in the club woman in her
unselfish and broad-minded interests
in the common good, and a deep con
viction that the club movement is one
of the strongest present-day forms 1
“exemplifying Christianity.”
In the language of Kipling the clu'i I
has learned— z
“It ain't the guns nor armament nor 1
funds that they can pay,
But the close co-operation that makes 1
them win the day.
It ain’t the individual, nor the army- I
as a whole,
But the everlastin’ team work of every 1
bloomin’ soul.”
The federation has come to realize r
the fulfillment of Mrs. Decker’s proph
ecy: “That wielded as a whole, it io j S
a mighty factor in the civilization of (
the country; an army of builders, alert,
sympathetic; not only a potent fore '
in this generation, but transmitting to
the next a vigor and strength which 1
lias never been given by any race of
women to their inheritors.”
MRS. Z. I. FITZPATRICK.

♦ PURPOSE OF LIFE. +
The great Tolstoi went through life
with the everlasting and never answer
ed question, to him at least. “What is
I the purpose of life?" In spite of Tol
stoi’s work for his fellowmen, notwith-
I standing his personal sacrifices, des- 1
| pite his deep study of the subject from ;
j every point of view, he never found '
the answer to that tremendously in
sistent question “What is the purpose
of life?” The answer seems plain '

> enough to many of the workers of the
> world at the present time. I saw in a
> newspaper a few days ago, what paper
> I do not remember, else I would give
, it credit, this paragraph: “A famous
> New York surgeon has on his desk
. three small significant words in white
. letters on a dull brown backgrown.
'Life is service,' and in explanation the
surgeon said to an inquirer: ‘Why are
we here, what shall we do with un
masked for gift life, for what purpose
were we born, why should we have to
bear existence? Why, simply for ser
vice.’ ” This is a beautiful thought
and one that should carry comfort to
every heart. I have no patience with
the often repeated statement that the
most of the club women of the world
are in the work for self-aggrandise
ment, for social honors, to show their
pretty gowns and jewels, to in fact
shine before the public. No, no, I re
fuse to believe this. I know too man-’
self-sacrificing club women to believe
it One of the speakers at the New
York convention was a “little brown
wren,” pale-faced but with the light of
a ■ great triumphant truth shining in
her eyes. I was told that this little
woman had been on the operating table
eight times, but that so indominable
was her spirit that each time she
fought back invalidism and went back
to her work. Life for her is service
and not a selfish thought exists in her
alert mind. She is working for young
women of rural districts and she has
wound the purpose of life and is living
up to it nobly. I often think when i I
look at the beautiful placid face of
Mrs. William Tod Helmuth that she
must have discovered the purpose of
life very early. All through her more
than seventy years, her life has been
one of service and she now bears upon 1
her lovely face, the mark of entire
consecration. What a beautiful thing ‘
it is to enter the sunset of life in the '
way and by the road that Mrs. Helmutn I
has entered it. There are thousands <
upon thousands of club women who ’
are working without a single selfish ■1
thought, who are dedicated to the ser- ,'
vice of mankind, who think no task for < 1
the uplift of humanity too difficult, i
whose purpose in it all is service.

Federation Magazine.

the ability of women to serve in any
capacity in which they may be called

our first relief work, the raising oi
food products, it is timely that we help

“THE CRISIS,” OPERA
HOUSE, MONDAY, APRIL 16TII
You will have the opportunity of
seeing America’s greatest American
story, "The Crisis,” by America’sfore
most author, Winston Churchill. As a
book it had more than a million read ■ ,
ers; as a play, starring the famous
James K. Hackett, it was applauded .
by thousands; and now, in photo-play
form, it will be seen by many millions ,
more, and depicted in away that is
impossible on the stage, where every
thing is limited. But with the great
out-doors for a stage, and the pleas
ing secenes from Dixeland as a stage
setting, no more pleasing combination
could be had for a photo-drama, which
has a particular heart appeal, espec
ially to us of the Sunny South.
