Creeds are as thistle-down, wind-tossed and blown,
But deeds abide throughout eternity. George Barlow.
All who work beneath its glorious folds (Red Cross) are coworkers not only with the noblest spirits of all ages and all countries but, even reverently be it spoken, co-workers with the Divine beneficence whose blessed task we know will one day wipe every tear from every eye. Clara Barton.
ACHIEVEMENT—WORLD RECOGNITION
Clara Barton was the recipient of twenty-seven decorations, medals of honor, diplomas of honor, badges, jewels, flags, resolutions, votes of thanks, and commendations from rulers of nations, legislative bodies, Red Cross decorations, relief committees, and distinguished, or titled, personages,—as testimonials of her great work for humanity. The Author.
Some day the full and complete history of Clara Barton and her unparalleled achievements will be given to the world, and no library on the face of the earth will be complete without a set of the volumes of that history.
