Or are you a leaner who lets
others bear
Your portion of labor and worry
and care"?

A touching incident in the
life of Abraham Lincoln was
given by Martha Holland
showing how much he depended
upon divine guidance in the
darkest hour of his country's peril.
A womans view of wars
[don] was read by M. S. Hallowell.
Maggie Bond's lines "Place thyself
last" were full of beautiful
thoughts. The last contribution
given by Ellen Farquhar.
Letters read to [procure] what a
source of pleasure & comfort they
were. Messengers of joy and [sorrow].
Upword and onward was a good
poem.

"Keep onward right onward 'till
the prize is attained.
Front the future with courage
And obstacles fall.
By phase and whose only the victory is gained
Who keep faith in themselves
And in God over all.
