As the sisters are here from the rel-ief societessocietiesSocie tes in the various wards inthetho city and perhaps some from a dis-tance I1 wish inin my remarks to laybefore them what 1I as an individualconsider to be thetho duty of this portionof our community not that I1 expectto go into the full details but to touchupon a few points in regard to theirduties
