CRUSADE ANNIVERSARY.
Collection For Literature Fund.

To the Presidents Of Local Unions.
DEAR SISTERS:
In response to the call from our
National President for special
observance of the Crusade Ami
versary, and an appropriation for
the Literature Fund, | first call
your attention to Miss Wizards
letter, and secondly to the PROPOSE
ton contained therein. Hoping
each President will at once plan q
program, with the aid of her exec
utive committee, and proceed to
arrange for an entertainment on
that day, and that you will see to
it that liberal collection is taken
for the Literature fund, | am
Yours for pushing the work,

protracted meeting and the proba-
bility of very few attending dur
ing that period; and it did not
meet again until the LIST Of April,
1885, but continued from that
date until about the middle of Sep
TENDER, with an attendance of from
100 to $50 and even as high as 1877.
The Band was then compelled to
suspend for want of a place to meet,
until some future time when, We
trust, the churches will be for Pro-
hibition rather than against it, and
therefore let the Band of Hope hold
their meetings in one OF their
churches.
We believe that the Band of
Hope is good institution for train
ing the young. Since our Band
has stopped holding meetings there
has been much drunkenness on the
streets of Elizabeth, from the effects
of hard cider. Therefore, let us
try to stop the sale of cider, for it is
no worse for men to get drunk on
whisky than or cider.

Thanksgiving Day.

ED. FREEMAN:
BY the kindly permission of Mr..
Peck, Superintendent, number of
our W. G. T. U. ladies held service
in the Prison on Thanksgiving
Day.
We entered the Prison Chapel
while the men were standing sing
ing hymn. The female prisoners
were brought in and seated near
the platform,
Our President, Mrs. Parkinson,
presided during the services.
Mrs. Thatcher talked earnestly
of the Savior's love and power to
hold US above the world, and of
our individual duty to hold up
Christ before the world.
After another talk on Individual
responsibilities and the possibilities
that lie in each life, another hymn
was sung, and Rev. Mr.. Linkletter
Qormerly of Moundsville, now of
Indiana) made an earnest, practical
and instructive address.
We presented the Temper
anca Calendar sent by Mrs. John
son, gave each of the women
prisoners some of the literature
purchased for the occasion, leaving
some for the men also, after which
the Doxology and Benediction by
Rev. Mr.. Linkletter.
We were glad to note how clean
and well clothed the prisoners were,
how white the walls were kept,
how the clear windows glistened,
and how plainly we could see the
grain of the wood in the floors!
We were impressed with the
deep interest taken in the services,
and were especially moved with
sympathy for one poor man, who
had to be helped to and from the
Chapel, by two men supporting
him on either side.
In this our second Thanksgiving
service in the Prison our only aim
and prayer has been.
That some poor trembling sinner, Lord,
Whose hope still towering round thy
Would light on some sweet promise there,
some sure support against despair"

New York, Nov. 9th, '85

New York, Nov. 9th, 'S5.
DEAR SISTER:
Permit me to call to your minds
the Resolution passed the last day
of the Convention at Philadel phia,
asking you to assist in general
Dime collection for our Literature
Department to be taken on Crusade
day che BIRD of December, or as
near that date as practicable, May
we not ask that you will imme-
diateiy make this known to your
Unions by whatever channels you
choose and urge their co operation {?
Please ask them to hold a public
meeting and take up collection,
forwarding the same promptly to
our Treasurer, (appointed by the
National Convention) Mrs. DR..
Mclean, 1633 Monroe St., Brooklyn,
New York.
If you choose you can say to
them that they may each have
Temperance Literature returned
to them to the amount of one half
their collection if they make appli,
cation for it, specifying what they
wish at the time of their sending
their money. But if you prefer to
have it go for the network and
the Missionary work, the new I'm
ions in your State shall receive
each generous specimen parcel, if
yon send me ther addresses.
You will see by the Literature
Reports how little has been given
this Department to work with in
the past, as we'll as how much pains
it has taken to prepare suitable
supplies for the work, and you are
well situated TO see bow much the
work needs this sort Of help. With
this co operation on your part we
will do our best to supply it,
Yours for the Work,

MRS. |. H. JOHNSON,
Ofthe West Virginia Freeman;
AS you requested during your
visit here last year that I send Won
the events of interest occurring in
this place, give you below note
of the services held here to day,
The ladies of Moundsville Union
had charge of the meeting and
[ am sure it was a season of plea.
sure and profit to very many pre-.
sent.
Mrs. J. L. Parkinson presided
and after delivering a most pleasing
exordium, she read an appropriate
Scripture lesson, and invited Rev.
Linkletter to offer prayer, who
invoked the blessing of Almighty
God in an earnest pleading petit
ton.
Mrs. Thatcher then came for.
ward and made happy and effect
i've talk. She was followed by
Mrs. Geo. Gordon in one of those
old, old story realities, as inter
woven in her own lite during the
past six months. This is what
teIls-a living Christian in living
Christ. I believe that the expert
ence of earnest Christians, such as
these women prove themselves to
be, has greater power and influence
for good among the common
people" than all the metaphysical
reasoning and glittering general,
tiles about religion that can be
presented to them.
Rev, Linkletter next en- tertained
the audience in an eloquent and
pleasing address on ghteousness,
Temperance and Judgment; and
though he did not make men
tremble as did the intrepid Paul
before Felix, yet his earnestness,
discoursing on the subject and re-
counting his own experience in
temperance work was torcible and
interesting.
Miss Annie Thatcher presided at
the organ and assisted by the
Prison Choir, the music was such
as you would delight to hear.
After the Doxology and Bene-
diction, the ladies' meeting was
ended, aud we followed with an
interesting prayer meeting in
which three burdened hearts were
found seeking the cleansing blood
of the crucified Redeemer. May
they find relief in Him from the
power of sin, and standing justified
by His blood, may the Holy Spirit
with the principles of religion
work in them purity of heart and
of life,
After these services were over
the prisoners were marched to the
dining hall where Col. Peck and
Mr., Wilkinson had provided
bountiful supply of good cheer"
to satisfy the inner man, and you
would have enjoyed seeing the
relish with which these two hun
dred and seventy men caused
oysters, chicken, dumpllngs, pota-
toes, cheese, &c, to disappear. We
also had oysters for supper, and
[ am sure all the men in here to-
day say, Amen" to our thanks
giving celebration.
We appreciate the thoughtful
ness OF Col. Peck and Mr.. Wilkln-
son in their care and provision for
US, and we thank the ladies OF
Moundsville Union for their inter
est in striving to do US good, and
their labor is not IN
vain, We hope they will Joy IN
often.
Yours in the work for God, and
Home and Native Land,

On Thursday evening a large
audience in the M. E, our largest
church, testified to the interest Of our
citizens in the speaker and her
subject, We are safe in saving.
that the highest expectations were
more than realized, in the practical
address, which was given. 1t was
marked by no weak sentimentality
in regard to the sufferers from, or
fierce denunciation Of the advocates
of, the liquor traffic; but the ques-
ton was earnestly pressed home
upon Christians, philanthropists,
taxpayers, business men, educa-
tors and patriots, as to whether this
monstrous wrong should still be
perpetuated; and the means of re-
dress were pointed out. The con-
clusion was most eloquent and
thrilling.
Prof, b. B. Purinton followed
with some earnest, pertinent re-
marks in his usual happy manner
and urged the audience to give a
