wishes for her continued triumphs. Her influence is vast and far-reaching. She writes with a purpose, she has used her gifts as she best knows how, and her fiery crusade, stern and determined as that of John Knox, against social evils and human follies, must make for lasting good. May this valiant woman, standing alone, battling for the right, yet add to her conquests!
Here, then, let us leave her, with the parting
benediction which fell from the lips of Mr. Gladstone:
"It is a wonderful gift you have, and I do
not think you will abuse it. There is a magnetism
in your pen which will influence many. Take
care always to do your best. As a woman, you
are pretty and good; as a writer, be brave and
true. God bless you, my dear child! Be brave!
You've got a great future before you. Don't lose
heart on the way!"
THE END
