PRAYING FOR PROHIBITION.

FIFTH DAY, JULY 28-MoRNING SEES
SION.
After devotional services the
Conference was delighted to be in
troduced in order to such
DISTINGUISHED VISITORS
as Hon. William Daniel, the Pro-
hibition nominee for Vice Presi-
dent of the United States, Miss
Frances E. Willard, National W.
G. T. U. President, and Hon. Hor-
ace Waters of New York.
Mr.. Daniel favored the audience
with brief remarks, in which he
disposed of the cry that this is not
the time for a prohibition advance
to victory. He said the doctrine
of these croakers who magnify our
weakness and cry for delay was
not the gospel of St. John nor in
harmony with the prophecy of
Daniel. He would ask those who
taunt us with being in the minor
ity, how they would like to have
been with the majority during
Noah's flood.
The audience was most wisely
instructed for few minutes by the
eminent leader.
REPORT ON Resolutions.
The committee having made up
it's report submitted the same as
follows:
Your Committee on Resolutions
beg leave to report:
1st. Encouraged by Gods APP
proving smiles and emboldened by
His continuous leadings during the
wonderful ten years of organized
work by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, we hereby
reconsecrate ourselves to this bless
ed cause, for we are we'll assured
there is on earth no work more wo-
manly, nor any in heaven more
heavenly, than mothers work of
redeemi2g her home and saving
her boys.
End. AS intelligent women, re-
garding the legalized liquor traffic
as the deadliest enemy of "God
and Home and Native Land" and
as Christian women, trusting in
God as able to help US, and save
our dear ones-so long as the State
plants a saloon between our home
and our heaven, right in the way
our boys must pass, we will not
aoe dare not be silent, but will con-
tinue to cry nightly unto our
God, assuredly believing that He
will abundantly deliver us.
Sd. WHEREAS, The National w.
c. T. U. at it's last Convention, in
Detroit, Michigan, declared that it
would lend its influence to that
party by whatever lame called,
which should furnish the best en-
bodiment of prohibition principles,
and would most surely protect our
homes, therefore,
Resolved, That we, the members
of this Interstate Conference, rec
ognizing in the Prohibition Party
the fulfillment of these require
