At all subsequent conferences, unity of spirit and whole-hearted coopers tlon were dominant. Needless to say. the convention Itself has recompensed us all our efforts and pains. And now final and somewhat per scrtial word. When I assumed the re sponsibility of leadership of the union in February, 1921, it was with a sense of great.
hesitancy and in adequate equipment for the task Looking back over the past three years. I feel that my efforts, although I have not spared have fal len far short of Ideal and possible accomplishment" Yet, I believe we have made no little progress, which Is chief ly due to your loyalty and seal. In faying, down the work, I want to thank sincerely the officers and members ot each circle for their cheerful co-operation and for their Mrs. Joseph Barkman was elected leader of the King's Daughters' union at the annual meeting held Saturday at the Y.

Mrs. E. S. Sheppe. retiring leader, submitted the following report for the past year's 1 Annual Report In reviewing the worK of the Staunton City Union of King's Daughters for the past year, we have report the regular routine activities which constitute so large a part of, tbe programs of an-organization likeours.
vA 1 At our first meeting on November 25, 1922, we were fortunate enough to have with us Mrs. W. Junktn, a missionary to China who was at home on a furlough lind who kindly consented to condurK our devotional exercieee. As she rerounte her ex periences among the natives ot that oldest of civilizations, in the thrall of almost unbelieveable'1 ignorance and superstition, we felt as never before an appreciation of our Christian heritage America and longed for the coming of the time when our hapless sisters in far-off China may, like ue. gather in circles and onlona as Daughters of the King.
Mrs. C. P. Hollis, our delegate to the state convention at Richmond, October 24-26, made a most Interesting report of tbe proceedings; which ros to a climax when she announced that the convention had accepted our invitation to hold its next session In, Staunton. This was followed by Interesting supplementary reports by delegates from the circles, a beautifully rendered Vocal wlwllnn hv Mrs -3.

Since. that meeting, the convention has been foremost in all our though and deliberations. We have dreamed convention, thought convention, talk ed convention and planned for the convention.

My conviction of the necessity of a city union is stronger today than it was in 1921.
To bring about a eense of oneness in which there is strength, to obliterate the petty jealousies that, like the serpent in Eden, sometimes creep into the circles, to cement friendly sentiments and foster a spirit of Christ-like fellowship, there is no better agency than the union. Everything that is isolated is weak.
