Sentiment of the hostess, Margaret Moore; "They conquer who
think they can. He has not learned the lesson of life who does not each day
surmount a fear."

Miss Mary Davis told of some of her experiences in Canterbury
Cathederal, and in London.

Mary Green gave some worthwhile sentiments; "That was excellently observed, say I when I read a passage in an author, where this opinion
agrees with mine" Swift. "We taste our intellectual pleasure twice
and with
the result when we taste it with a friend." Hawthorne. "When you ask yourself
what to do, take counsel with your courage; when you ask yourself how to do
it, take counsel with your caution."

"All who joy would win
Must state it - happiness was born a twin."
Byron
