To Be Observed Sunday (Continued from first page) everywhere where there was need for them. All through the war they worked, and after the close of hostilities it was found that their work was not done, so many of them continued to care for the maimed and sick soldiers, and for the widows and orphans of those who slept in “lqw green tents” all over our land. There were men who were unable to care for their loved ones, and three dependent ones too were looked after by the loyal women. When Paul Van Der Voort was Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic he called for the societies then in existence to come together, and in 1883 their represen tatives assembled in Denver, and were ■rganized into the Woman’s Relief Ourpe, and accepted as the auxiliary i of the Grand Army of the Republic, ind left free to work as suited them. The Order has grown to magnifi cent proportion«, and today the.re are upon the rolls nearly 200,000. patriotic women. The members come from every walk in life, and the best women of the country are proud to wear the little bronze badge, which represents Fra ternity, Charity and Loyalty. The aims and objects of the Worn- in’s Relief Corps are: To specially aid and assiet the Grand Army of the Republic, and to oerpetuate the memory of their heroic dead. To assist such Union veterans as need <%r help and protection, and to extend needful aid to their widows and orphans. To find them homes and employment, and assure them of sym pathy and friends. To cherish and emulate the deeds of our army nurses, and of ail loyal women who rendered loving service to our country in her hour of peril; To maintain true allegiance to the United States bf America; to incul cate lessons of patriotism and love of country among our children and in the communities in which we live; and encourage the spread of universal ■iberty and equal rights to all. This organization was the first to 'ntroduc* bhe salute to the flag in he public school« and to make the ob servance of Flag Day general, by pre paring and carrying out suitable pro grams. The flag salute now universally used in the schools is also,the Boy Scouts oath: “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands; one nation indivisible, with liberty snd justice for all.” The Woman's Relief Corps is an in corporated body and owns much val uable real ectate. Anderson Prison Park, formerly owned by the W. R. C., is now owned by the United States government. The name Relief Corps waa flrat used by a society at Portland, Me., >rganized by the Post in 1869. under the name of Bosworth Relief Corps No. 1, a society still in existence. The next place we find it used is at Fitchburg, Mass., February, 1879, when the Woman’s State Relief Corp«, auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic, was formed.
