OUR OUTLOOK.
BY MRS. E. f. DEFINING.

Those who were privileged to attend the
last annual meeting of the Woman's National
Christian Temperance Union, held in Bos-
ton, must feel that they obtained broader
view of the great battlefelds over which our
workers are scattered, and clearer insight
into not only the difficulties that beset, but
the means by which these besetments are to
be resisted, and overcome. To careless
obs rver, the efforts mBy appear scattered,
and often futile, but it is growing, and more
evident that great design is being slowly,
but surely matured; the different methods Of
work diyerging more in form than intention,
and each step in the direction of as great
q reform as Luther led.
Above the puny forms of our visible lead.
ers we know, with the knowledge that comes
of faith, is the great and trne Commander,
whose power directs, and without whose
guiding hand, and all controlling inteli
gence our own plans and efforts would be
| useless.
Our work is the work of Christs church
on earth; would that they went together

reason to believe that the church sometime,
hinders instead of helps, by refusing or for

Base Ball Notes.

Mr.. Line G. Houk, secretary of the g Con-
dons" base ball club, received letter yes
terday from the Rogersville club, in refer
ence to a challenge which has been passed
for match game, making proposition to
play the game. Ion certain conditions The
"Condons will have a meeting
this afternoon to consider the
matter, and if it proves satisfactory game
will be agreed upon, to be played in Knox
vile next week
All members of the "Condons" are re-
quested to meet on College Hill at 4 O'Clock
this afternoon, for business practice, and
other persons interested in them are also in
vited.
The Rogersville boys will meet the
Greeneville club in second match game at
Rogersville Junction today. We under
staod the Rogersville boys are cocks of the
walk in upper East Tennessee, and are
lightning ball tossers, having made some
good records. 1t consequently behooves
our " Condons " to look to their laurels and
be ready for them, in the event the game is
definitely decided upon.

3 It may be that all the measures suggested
during the deliberations of the National Con-
vention VIII not commend themselves to
every one; but when we consider the fearful
nature of the liquor traffic, its strength and
the foundations in which it is laid, mans
appetite and mans greed, it is not matter
for wonder that the women who have been
long in the work, who have devoted their
lives to it, and with earnest prayer and deep
thought, have sought the best means to
make their work tell, should say that the
lGsos must be altered-a right standard set in
fact as in theory. Would that every Chris
tan woman would carefully consider these
things with view to their bearings upon
the happiness of others as well as herself
not put them aside as something apart from
her womanly and domestic sphere. The
sagacious and far-seeing, yet gentle and re-
fined Lucretia Holt, was in many re.
spects, during her long life, an example thai
every thoughtful woman might observe with
benefit.

The wholesale business of Knoxville has
been gradually growing, until now there are
probably few cities of its size in the United

ago the wholesale business was confined to a
few houses, but now almost every depart

They have all had many years ex-
perience in the wholesale business and are
thoroughly acquainted with the wants of the
