The church was filled with people most of\nWhom knew something about Miss Hay and sore eager to hear the two speakers. The\nfirst speaker was Nrs. I. Adjarova, the Prosident of the *Samarianka\" Society. She\nhad been in closest touch with the work of Miss ilay in this city and was, therefore,\nbest qualified to speak on this subject. She gave first a biographical sketch of the\nlife of Miss Hay and then described in grester detail her work in Philippopolis.\nMrs. Adjarova told her audience how Miss Hay (and Miss Torrance who came with her)\nbegan to visit the poor families in the suburbs almost as soon es they arrived, which\nwas in March 1916. In all their rounds they were accompanied by someone of the\nmembers of the \"Samarianke\" Society. Hiss Hay very noon learned some Bulgerian,\nwith which ahe comforted and encoureged the sick. Being an indefatigable worker she\nwould start work from early morning and continue till late in the afternoon. In the\neveninga she would prepare the plans for the future rounds and the statistics for the\nvisits made end the material used. In her care for the sick she not only attended\nto their sickness, but also tried to teach them, and the rest of the family, how to\nlive hygienically. It is due to hor initiative and influential appeal that Philipp-\nopolis today has a magnificent dispensery built with the donation of the great\nbenefactor D. P. Coodogloo.\nAltogether during the 13 months which they apent in Philippopolis ilss Hay and\nMiss Torrance made 12,826 calla and attended to 4892 cases of sickness. Mrs.\nAdjarova ended her address with the words: \"The momory of Nise day will remain\nindellible in our soula andhearts as a symbol of & perfectly fulfilled vocational\nend humane task.\"\nThe second speaker was General s. Bogianoff of the reserve, President of the\nlocal branch of the Red Cross Socisty. His addresa was shorter, but very stirring.\n2"
