VI the work there are six general de-
partments preventive, educational,
evanRelistic, social, legal, and organiza-
ton. There 10 national superintend-
emit over each department.
In the space allotted to me, / can but
enumefate the different branches. The
name OF each will readily suggest to
you the work conducted in the depart
ment. According to this plan Of the
work its requirements are fully met.
Under preventive, are the divisions

cIude9 scientific instruction, SUNDAY

alchohOlic stinulants On tho system and

The department. of organization pro-
vides for Southern work, for work

With such philanthropic sentiments.
noble aims and high aspirations, can
there be any who out OF his selfish heart
would wish Us defeat?
Is there anything more self-sacri
f1clnR to be known than the labor of
these workers. whose only pay is to see
the salvation and happiness of their
fellow beings
Woman's Union means work union.
There is no place in it for idlers, COS
slpers or fault-fnders. There is. how.
ever. ample and abundant room for
workers. Room for those who work to
dispel the fanciful illusions that there
is satisfying pleasure in bacchanaliau
revels; room for those who want to
show that the curse Of drink is no less
dreadful since the poet weaves its ficti-
tl0us joys in enchanting song, and the
writer who, without depicting the at
fractions of 1t in heightened and false
oolors, can give no brighter nor more
allurinR charm to his romance.
Room for those, unlike the women of
olden time, who at certain seasons re-.
paired to the mountains, rent their
clothing and tore in pieces the passers
by, as they shouted "Bacchus is God"
out who, in lOwly home or lofty man
sion, in temple on hill and in valley, in
humble chapel or stately edifice, raise
tneir voices in singing, The Lord is
mighty to save"
We present our case to YOU, we plead
our cause. Will you not give rs an i'm
partial hearingS Will you not give us
assistance and use your influence with
the world to cooperate with us?
We are assured that We have found
our way to your hearts-that nothing is
there but sympathy and kindness, for

There is one division of the Union in
which the children are trained. II ia

to do the same.
The Young Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, in its social work. va.
ried with other and accompanying do
ties. gives a hearty invitation to tho
young people. It will be hard to find a
department of work that will elevate
you moro and extend greater benefit to
those for whom you are interested than
this one.
The membership of the Wonan's
Christian Temperance Union numbers
over one hundred. It should be vastly
more than that in this CITY. MANY OF
these ladies cannot attend tho meeting
regularly on account of homo duties.
We want more to join as. We want
more assistance. 10 gentlemen who
say, If it were a Union for men. /
would join" We cordially extend an in

bers, and, with your characteristic mag
nanimity, share with as the ozerous du-
ties.
The shades of night draw around us.
The sweetness and sanctity of this

With worldly cares aside, our hearts en-
