She first took the list that she had prepared of the outstanding books of 1926 and of 1927 in so far as they had app~ared, and commenled briefly on several. The subject of her talk was "Satisfactions That Abide." Mrs. Merrill brought out the following poin.ts in discussing this ·s ubject: The sahsfacJions that, are lasting arc never int~nse. Intensity of emotion whether pamful or pleasurable, is necessarily transient. Our human contacts are a.lways varying, our friends and assoctates of one decade are seldom t h ose o f t h e nex t · · d so we must look to t h. mgs o f t h e mm · f · l and spirit for our sahs actiOns t ta t abide. Of these the most important, Mrs. ·h m · a purpose Merrill fee 1 s, · ts our f att in life, and a purpose fine enough to command our respecL and submission. Our love of truth is a vital necessity in acquiring these abiding satisfactions as is also ou.r love of beauty, beauty in every aspect, physical, mental and .rt'tttal. Spl Another abiding satisfaction, according to Mrs. Merrill, js our appreciati~m of things we hear and see. not a cntical attitude. rather a discriminating appreciation. Another ever present source of satisfaction is the love and appreciation of nature. If we acquire these traits of mind and spirit, we will keep an ever prescnt source of deen satisfaction entirely apart from conditions that outwardly shape our lives. · Mr. Jones, of Swift and company, also addressed the membe,r s of the club, and spoke on the subject of that 1 t company's pro d ucts f or tree anc1 p an treatment. -------- The annual meeting and election of office.rs of the Tenth district, I.
