Our hearts are lifted, therefore, in one united hymn of praise and joy, and we offer our pleading petition to that God who doth judge the quick and dead, that in the heavenly home to which some day we shall all go, we may be permitted to mingle and labor in the eternal verities over there, side by side with Susan B.

At a meeting of the State Council of Women, held at Salt Lake City, on Saturday, March 17, 1906, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, we have learned with deep regret of the death of Susan B. Anthony, woman, and that noble and able and devoted advocate of equal rights self-sacrifici- MISS SUSAN B. ANTHONY. for all. A FRIEND TO HUMANITY.

Col. Willard Young, Master of Ceremonies, introduced the speakers, making suggestive explanatory remarks. We of the early days in the valley, have many tender recollections of the Lion House. The name is significant in the history of Salt Lake City, and it means much of sentiment and veneration to some of us who were familiar with the house and its former occupants. What memories it awakens to go inside its walls or even to gaze upon the outside. Built firm, strong and substantial, may it ever be preserved. Great men and women have been sheltered there, and children who have achieved greatness have been born there. The greatest and grandest men of their time have prayed and sung and feasted within its sacred precincts, and great truths have been given to the world from the owner of that stately mansion and from his associates-Sittinin the Lion House parlor one can recall varied scenes of the past, and one becomes visionary, for the faces and forms of long ago come back as it were, and stand in their accustomed places; and though the room may be crowded, we see not those that are there so well as we do the ones who once filled these now vacant halls. It reminds one of Moore: "I feel like one who treads alone Some banquet hall deserted, Whose lights are fled, whose garlands dead.
