r oR EWORD Tf OMAN has reached out toward an Ideal for centuries. This aspiration has embodied the 1 J realization of her highest personal destiny. It has often seemed unattainable, yet her heart vM ' has always been unswerving in its fine courage and faith. Little by little she has approached it, and now, in this glorious year of 1920 she finds herself free, at last, to express her aspirations in the ways that will make for the uplift of humanity. This golden year sees her with power in her hands which she pledges herself to use wisely. It finds her with the vote, heartened by the respect and confidence of the world, which has faith in her ability to meet the great questions of the day in a sane, helpful, steadfast spirit. The sorrows of a troubled world have called forth the noblest qualities of her womanhood. Her quick response, her absolute dedication of self, and her divine love have won for her the pro- foundest gratitude of humanity. In these things she has grasped the deep significance of Service, which is the highest interpre- tation of the Ideal.
