Miss Pugh's text for brief, COM
pact, logical and stirring address,.
Moses said, "Stand still and see the
salvation of God" God said, and SO
says to US now, "Speak unto the
Children of Israel that they go for
iDdrd."
Too many of our ministers now
copy after Moses, saying to the
Church, "Be still and see this great
reform 60 forward and succeed"
But God says to US, $50 Forpard."
This same command has been
ringing in the ears and hearts of
the W. C. T. u, as they have
come up from the crusade, through
all these years. We have come
up from point to point, till now we
face this great, seething, boiling
sea of politics, We here have found
our enemy's hiding place, and we
still hear the command, go For
0ard" And what is there for US
but to obey? AS the Red Sea part
ed, so will the way be opened for
US. And am sure we will all 90
over safely. What though some
are slow to fall into ranks? We can't

THE WINE OF CANA AND PAUL's IN
JUNCTION TO TIMOTHY.
The Sunday School at 8 D. m.
was largely attended, at the close
of which, in accordance with re-
quest made by the Conference, Rev.
J. Cadwallader, of Florida, preach
ed an able sermon on the "Wine
of Cana" and Paul's injunction to
Timothy, to take little wine for
his stomach's sake.
The sermon was listened to with
deep interest and profit, and many
went away not only convinced, but
better armed than ever before to
meet and demolish the willy
enemies who come to fight Prohibi-
ton with these Bible incidents.
Mrs. Buell's Farewell.
In the evening, after an inspirit-
ing song service by the Choir, Mrs.
Buell. delivered brief address full
of that loving kindness and tender
ness that was but the outfowing
of her consecrated heart and soul.
She pictured in heart-winning Ian
guage the gratitude which should
fill the Christian heart, in being
permitted, not only to be co-work-
ers with God, but heirs Of God and
Joint heirs with Christ.
Her address was followed by a
conservation meeting led by Miss
Jennie Smith. A most precious
and profitable season was enjoyed.
And thus happily ended the
Joyous heart and soul training SER
vices of the Fifth Annual Meeting

State w. G. 7. U. Conference.
May the Conference of 1887 be
even more joyous and profitable.
