edged Mrs. Clark. Secondly, edu- 
cation is necessary. The greatest 
thing we take with us from our 
school life is a taste for good read- 
ing, and we must have good books 
in order to live on a high plane. As 
the years go by, the woman who 
will be interesting will be the one 
to place herself in the way of hear- 
ing things to enlarge the mind and 
to read more deeply than the daily 
papers and the magazines. 
We must have some religion to at- 
tain an interesting personality—it 
matters little what that religion is 
as long as it has a good ethical and 
spiritual standard. ‘I am so sick 
of the eternal hair-splitting over 
creeds. What we want our religion 
to do for us is to drive sin out of the 
world; after that*if we want to split 
on minor issues it will be all right. 
Until then I believe that the less 
creed the better.’’ 
Another great factor in the devel- 
opment of personality is freedom. 
Slaves seldom have any personal- 
ity, and by the same rule, as the

condition of an oppressed race im- 
proves, its character 1s marked by 
some very evident changes. Be- 
fore the Habeas Corpus act and the 
Magna Charta made the English 
peasant the most fortunate man of 
his class in the world, the music ot 
the race was written in a ninor 
key. With these two important 
changes for the better, the English 
wlees were written in a major key.

In ‘the same way, the music of all 
dependent people has always been 
in a minor key, and this includes 
women, This is changing with the 
changes in women’s standing, and 
the speaker said women’s voices 
are improving. 
“Sincerity and courage are im- 
portant; they are the two great di- 
yisions of religion. Women, partic- 
ularly, are trained all through their 
lives ‘to be sincere; insincere in 
their manners, dress and.even voice. 
We must. give up affected manners 
and ways of speaking if we would 
add to the sincerity of our person- 
alities: | 
_Courage, more than any other 
one “thing, -is, necessary. Every 
leader of a new movement has been 
ridiculed; we. must learn to face it 
in order to make ourselves felt in 
the community, if not in the world. 
Mrs. Clark quoted a poem of Ien- 
ley’s on this subject: 
“'S ut.of the night that covers me,

! “pole, - 
1 thank whatever gods there be 
. For my unconquerable soul. 
In the fell clutch of circumstance, 
I have not wineed, nor eriect 
aloud ; 
Under the bludgeonings of fate, 
My head is bloody, but unbowed. 
Through the mist of wrath an/| 
tears 
Looms but the .horror of ‘the 
shade— 
Yet the menace of the years 
Finds, and shall find me un- 
afraid. : 
It matters not how straight the 
gate, 
How charged ‘with punishments 
the seroll, 
IT am the master of any. fate, 
I am captain of the soul.’’ 
' In eoneluding, Mrs. Clark urged 
her hearers to find where 
deficiencies lay, and then to do 
something about it, to enlarge and 
strengthen that indefinable spark of 
self-hood, but to. preserve. the ‘it?’ 
intact. She quoted: 
‘Best be yourself, 
Imperial, plain and true.’

Never has any lecturer been more 
warmly welcomed or more keenly 
thei 
appreciated than Mrs. Clark, and it 
is safe to say that Tuesday after- 
noon was, if not the most enjoyable 
of the winter, at least one of the 
most enjoyable. Miss Emily Fer- 
riera, accompanied on the piano by 
Mrs. Edith Williams, sang ‘‘For 
You,’’ and her remarkably sweet 
voice won for her, as it does when- 
ever she sings in public, generous 
applause. Announcement was made 
at this meeting also of a change in 
date for the next meeting, which 
will be Childrens’ -Day--~-Baeh 
member may bring: her own chi- 
dren without charge, while admis- 
sion for other children will be 24 
cents each, as in other years. The 
age limit is 16 years. The meeting 
will be held .Saturday afternoon, 
April 3, instead of on the regular 
date, Tuesday, April 6. After the 
program, afternoon tea was served,
