LamoiIIe COUNTY w. C. I'll
HELD AT JOHNSON, JUNE II. 1885,

u L.
This lovely June morning brought TO.
gether at the Baptist Church a company
! of women representing the three differ,
ent unions in the County at Cambridge.
| MOrriSville and Johnson, and others in
| tereSted in the temperance cause. While
all was beautiful without. within the pvn
was greeted with flowers ferns and mot
! toes Upon the wall was hung the pict-
ure of = Our Temperance Queen y Miss
Frances Willard. The meeting was Drn-
sided over by Mrs. [. L. Pearl. County
President. One great attraction of the
day was the presence of our State Presi-
dent-Mrs J. l.. Perkins, wfO bv the
strength of her own heart, and warm
cheering words lifted up all hearts about
her.
1t has been said that a body of Chris
tians would not get together without
having either praise or prayer service
so this meeting began with prayer-the
spirit of which seemed to permeate the
dOing's of the day.
The deep earneStnesS that prevailed
showed it was not pleaSure-seeking that
brought these women together, but the
bond of Christian love, so beautifully
styled " the Cement of Heaven, the Glue
of the Soul, y and which spends itself in
labor for souls.
Papers were read bearing upon the
subject of temperance in Sunday School,
and teachers of the Sunday School pres
ent testified to the important place
which temperance should have in all
their teaching. The day school teacher
told us, in very practical manner, how
she taught temperance scientifically as
well as its moral effects.
It was also fOrcibly set before us how
the sacred precincts of the home should
be carefully guarded from the vile in
truder, intemperance. A poem was
read and other tributes paid to the mem
DRY of John b. Cough. Toward the close
Of the day the voice of the sterner sex
was heard to mingle in the discussions.
1t was unanimously decided by rising
vote that temperance work does not in
terfere with church or home work, but
as Mrs. Perkins tersely put it, o the
drImkard does"
An hour was devoted to the children
and the 9 Blue Ribbon Club " marched
in and entertained us with song and
recitation. Oh, this work with the chill
dren beSpeakS future for our nation,
perhaps no better predicted, than by the
motto borne upon the blue banners by
the children this day, Tremble King
Alcohol, We shall Grow up"
We feel as sure that the temperance
cause will win, as that the sun ShOne,
upon this June day. 1t is upbOrne by
too many prayers of women, gathered
week after week, to seek means for its
furtherance, to fail, and God, himself is
at the helm,
Therefore, let all who would not be
on the losing side, but would like to
join in the song Of the victOrS over
well fought field, come and join us to-
day while the battle is fierce. ~

has been introduced in congress. and ac-

ifthe object be to prevent frauds, that
might be secured with equal facility by
embracing strict compliance with the laws

CIVIL MAMMALS.

As long as the Mormon problem con-
tinues to vex the American people by re-
naming unsolved. so long will various
plans and projects be discussed for bring
ing the main question involved TO a final
settlement. The first necessity is to en-
force respect for law by maintaining its
supremacy and relentlessly furnishing its
violation. Yet this must not be done in
that spirit of indignation which confounds
d%elusion with guilt and can make no al
lowance for a sincerity that blends with
fanaticism. The administration, with the
SUPPORT Of congress, will be able to enforce
a passive obedience. but the moment
the pressure shall be removed,
the suppressed evil will spring
to life : again. Utah, with popu-
lation and wealth more than sufficient
to enable her to bear the burdens and to
entitle her to the benefits Of state govern
ment, must remain in tutelage so long as
there is danger Of a rehabilitation Of
polygamy by legal enactment. A meas
ure has been suggested Tor adoption by
congress, which while it would not eradi-
cate existent evil would prevent its per-
petuation, and that Is the passage Of a
civil marriage act, making it essential to
the validity OF the contract that it should
be acknowledged before a public officer.
No rights Of conscience on the score of
religion would suffer from such enactment,
inasmuch as the marriage might also be
solemnized according to any ritual without
interference on the part Of the law. In
fact, just such laws exist in several Euro
pean countries, and in Mexico. Under
such restraint no polygamous marriage
could be recognized as other than an I'M
lawful union.
