To give, or to even attempt to give in this short chapter, a sketch of the life and labors of each lady whose name appears herein is a task quite impossible for the writer to perform now; suffice, however, to say that these ladies have moved a long way from the lowly huts of the pioneer women.
Among them is represented every known grace and refinement which the women of other countries enjoy. They live in a goodly land, occupy comfortable, yea, luxurious homes, where none dare molest—where none can make them afraid.
E. E. Smith,
Recent United States Minister to Liberia.
