We may not better express our appreciation of the noble, useful life of our promoted comrade and of our grief because she has left us than by placing upon this record the words which Mrs. Stevens sent to her home city immediately upon learning that Miss Dow had passed on : "The Woman's Christian Temperance Union, local, state, national and world's, are sorely bereft by the Home-going of Miss Cornelia Dow. She had unwavering faith in the basic principles of the W. C. T. U., peace, purity, total absti nence and prohibition, and for their promotion she gave her time, her influence and her money. She has for many years been officially connected with this organization occupying po sitions of trust and honor. She had the love and confidence of Frances E. Willard who selected her for a most important charge in connection with our work. "I send this message from Miss Willard's old home where we are making final preparations for the Los Angeles, Califor nia, Convention, which Miss Dow had so confidentially planned to attend, joining us here in a few days. "I cannot adequately express the sense of personal loss I so deeply feel nor my gratitude for her devoted, unselfish toil on behalf of those 'causes that need assistance against the wrongs that need resistance.' It is hard to realize that she who was so alert has passed out of the activities of this life into the glory and beauty of the Home which is eternal and in the Heavens. We thank God tor her benificent life here, and pray that we, like her, may be 'steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.' Great-hearted, loyal comrade, hail, but not farewell !
