A report of the visit mentions the return of ``doubters, drunkards, and backsliders and doubling of attendance at various meetings. She worked until her death at 76, on August 29, 1930. The Journal of the Canadian Friends Historical Association described her as a dynamic speaker able to arouse people's consciousness. In the days before women were acknowledged as having public voices, she accepted speaking engagements in Canada, England, and New Zealand. Bessie Dann recalled a sermon from Dale when she was visiting Norwich, taken from the Proverbs text ``The spider taketh hold with her hands and is in king's palaces.'' In her diary, Gertrude Nicholson describes Alma Dale as ``a little lady with short hair (who) dresses rather mannishly.`` She also mentioned the liveliness of her speaking style and her ability to manage horses.
