Therefore the call to us m the.GVF.S. is stronger than ever. We hear of reconstruction on every side and we must not. lag behind. It is difficult to see what the outcome of it all will be^but our work based on priciples which are eternal is clear and we must go forward with the times, never forgetting that we have the highest standard to maintain and point to m our endeavors to understand the changes which are sweeping over* all modern life. The object of our Society makes our aim clear and as our Intercessions go . up on our Anniversary Day we can but ask for strength to live up to these ideals. 7 - Any Associates coming to England from over the seas will receive a hearty welcome. We.hope they will either write to or call on, the Secretary at the G.F.S. Central Office,, so that we may know of their arrival. With my kind regards and good wishes.— Believe me 5 yours sincerely, ' (Signed) C. V. CUNLIFFE, . President of the G.F.S. Central - Council.
