Republican Women Federated

Blessed is she who stands firmly for good government, for she shall be needed.

Blessed is she who works steadily for her nation, for she shall be happy.

Blessed is she who believes in the cause she serves, for she shall be respected.

Blessed is she who give credit to her helpers, for she shall be successful.

Blessed is she who has faith in her fellow man, for she shall be justified.

Blessed is she who, when others criticize her, and say all manner of evil about her,

• has the strength of character to forgive,
• the strength of purpose to carry on,
• and the strength of body to continue.

For She Shall Be Called a Leader in the Federation of Republican Women.
