NOW's The Time.

John B. Finch, in a recent arti-
Gle on the "Work for 1884," writes
THE time has come for a union
of all good men and women to say
the Government must stop the
ravages and outrages Of the alco-
holic liquor traffic, and the Prohi-
bitionists must refuse to wait a
single year longer without a strug-
gle to make it win this year.
The principles of the reform are
right, and agitation must arouse
public attention and hasten the
day of victory. There is no more
important issue demanding the at
ytention of the American people.
The liquor-lords are absolute po-
litical autocrats, and dictate, or try
to dictate, the nominations OF both
Democratic and Republican par
ties. For Prohibitionists to remain
idle and allow the liquor lords to
fasten the chains of their control
on this country is to betray the
highest and hottest interests OF the
people. The man or woman who
cries, "Wait, go Slow" is an enemy
of God and humanity.

to take the WEST VIRGINIA FREE
man, the official temperance paper
of the State; and it will be found
full of good reading. and well worth
the price of subscription, namely ::
$50 per year, or 75c for 6 months.

Annual Meeting N0man's Mis-.

Held at the M. E. Church South, Ra-

ED. FREEMAN: The Woman's
Missionary Society of the W. Va
Conference, M. E church South,
held their annual meeting at Ra-
venswood, this year, beginning last
Friday evening. The officers OF
this society are
Mrs. Lou. Burlington, of Hunt

Mrs. DR.. J. L. Carr, Clarksburg
Miss Lucy Smith, Parkersburg
Mrs. L. V. Hampton, Charleston,
and one other whose name do not

responding Secretary. and Mrs. E,
V. Carroll, Treasurer.
The Woman's Board of Missions
which acts for all the conferences,
is located at Nashville.
Mrs. Juliana Hayse, the Presi-
dent of the Board, accompanied by
her accomplished daughter, was
present at the meeting in Ravens
wood.
The program for Friday evening
consisted of devotional exercises
conducted by Mrs Burlington, an
address Of welcome, by Mrs Smith,
Of Ravenswood, response by Miss
Ada Thornburg, Of Huntington,
and the annual address by the
President of the society, with sing
ing and some remarks by the wri-
ter, The addresses were Of a high
order-well written and we'll read.
They had in them the beauty Of
Woman's thought and voice and
love. They were strong too, in
good sense, sound principle and
earnest purpose.
| rose at the close of those beau
tiful and thoughtful addresses, at
the imminent risk of dispensing
the audience. AS a rule, at the
close Of a good address by woman,
if man has the audacity to ap-
pear, some of the gentlemen pres
ent will instantly declare the
su periority of woman by a noisy
withdrawal. To my surprise they
stood their ground on this occasion.
Two things secured me a hearing,
the remarks were briet, and a
woman was presiding, and | sus-
pect further, the brethren did not
know that the womans' part of the
program was ended. Hope gives
the power of endurance.
Appropriate hymns were sung
by the choir and added interest to
the occasion.
The West Virginia Conference
Society has about six hundred
members. The report of this year
shows progress in the work. Our
Woman's Board of Missions has
