idual worker in their ranks.
_Resolved_, That to our band of Volunteer Aids, the ladies who, in
turn, have so long and usefully labored in the details of our work
at these rooms, we give our hearty and affectionate thanks, feeling
that their unflagging devotion and cheerful presence have added
largely to the efficiency and pleasure of our labors. Their
record, however hidden, is on high, and they have in their own
hearts the joyful testimony, that in their country's peril and need
they were not found wanting.
_Resolved_, That the thanks of this Association are due to the
ladies who have, at different times, served upon the Board, but are
no longer members of it; and that we recall in this hour of parting
the memory of each and all who have lent us the light of their
countenance, and the help of their hands. Especially do we
recognize the valuable aid rendered by the members of our
Registration Committee, who, in the early days of this Association,
superintended the training of a band of one hundred women nurses
for our army hospitals. The successful introduction of this system
is chiefly due to the zeal and capacity of these ladies.
_Resolved_, That in dissolving this Association, we desire to
express the gratitude we owe to Divine Providence for permitting
the members of this Board to work together in so great and so
glorious a cause, and upon so large and successful a scale, to
maintain for so long a period, relations of such affection and
respect, and now to part with such deep and grateful memories of
our work and of each other.
_Resolved_, That, the close of the war having enabled this
Association to finish the work for which it was organized, the
Woman's Central Association of Relief for the Army and Navy of the
United States, is hereby dissolved.
The meeting then adjourned _sine die_.

For further and better knowledge of the Woman's Central, is it not
written in the book of the Chronicles of the Board of the United States
Sanitary Commission?
