a better life, and for a homeland stronger and sounder for woman and man alike.

It is easy for whoever wishes to cast his gaze back to the begin-ning of this century and to see — knowing what he knows today — that this development in the life of the Lebanese woman, and the Arab woman generally, was a thing fore-ordained, dictated by the logic of society.

But if he withdraws into himself, purifies his soul of the taints of passion, and reconsiders that judgment, he will realize that the small band of pioneers of this social development, at the opening of the century, had nothing assured to them, the day they set their feet on the beginning of the rough road, but the rigors and pains of struggle; and no assured reward but the feeling of peace of soul — that in what they were doing they were sharing in a war whose object was the freeing of half the nation, and the release of the good power stored within it for creative work; and that this was enough for them. In this their case is the case of all pioneers in every age and land. Their glory is the glory of fathers in their sons; their gladness is the gladness of the giver, for giving is the secret of his being; and their reward is the reward of the laborer on the face of the hard rock through the black night, cutting footholds in it so that those who come after him may climb by them to the heights — to the places of light. In this chosen few, who prepared the way for the emancipation of the Arab woman in a time when "the

road was obscure to the pioneers," our precious departed was in the vanguard.

Hardly had the news of her death reached me when I choked with tears; but before long I saw her living and pulsing, in successive stages of her useful life, through the six-and-thirty years in which I had known her; and I found myself reciting to myself, with Khalil Mutran — God's mercy upon him:

How helpless is the eloquent tongue before the dumbness of the dead one's tongue; how foolish are the tears, pouring down, while the bier veils a smiling face.

After that I grieved no more for her, for she had been set free from the bonds of life after a struggle waged with girded loins; but I grieved for myself, because I shall not find her in her place after today — to renew in me a resolve that had grown blunt, or to give me back cheerfulness after a frown, or to make me, with a

look or a word, grow greater in my own eyes because I had sat with her. And it is enough for the virtuous woman — her price is far above pearls. God's mercy be upon her.

Nadim, my brother: you have carried in your public life, in East and West, the message of Lebanon, perfumed with the fragrance of love, forbearance, and brotherhood — you took it from the bosom of your mother and your father, after they had taken it from the secret of Lebanon; and blessed is Lebanon in those of its sons who make it their compass and their constant way. And in your private life also you have been — and remain — an emblem of these virtues. This is the glory of fathers in their sons. I pray God to bestow upon you and your sister and all your kin the grace of patience, and to inspire us all to find consolation for her loss in profiting by the memories of her excellence — for God is the most generous of all who are asked.
