MISS wILLARD's REMARKs.

Miss Frances E. Willard, president of the
 National w. 0. T. U., was then introduced
 and gave interesting review of the tenn
 perance question. Richard Golden, the
 speaker remarked, said the temperance re- form was at the bottom of all reforms. Was he right? I asked the :, 1000 teachers in Madi- son, Wis, recently, to see to it that every scholar had the true idea given him as to the benefit and necessity of total abstinence And they all said, eYes, we will; and with pleasure.' The w. c. T. U. is now organ ized in every State and territory It is not a ahobbyist. Our methods are the same through out the country. We number over 200, 900 at the present time, and we give God the glory for the work which he has done and is doing in answer to our prayers. I have found that men are yet nothing but boys and that they hold their mothers most dear. Let mothers influence rightly their sons. Let them be brave and fearless in their own towns and homes. We are now, more than eYer on the eve of realizing some of the highest of our hopes for temperance success Gladstone lately said that he would look out for the revenue if he were given a sober people. revenue in England from saloons was falling of. May it not be in vain that we speak in entreaty to you this day:
 Benediction was pronounced by the Rev. MT. Pratt, of Talcottville, and the meeting adjourned.

Buck, of Hartford The name of Hon. John L. Houston was presented by J. Warren Johnson, of Enfield. MT.
