Mt. Lake Park Conference.

The strongest assurance that

To Presidents OF Local Unions
and Friends OF Scientific
instruction.

AS special favor to Mrs. War
rem, our State Superintendent, to
the cause we serve, and to your
State President, will you promptly
respond to Mrs. Warren's request
for the name of local Superin-
tendent of this department in each
Union7 Where there are no organ
izations, will some friend of the
cause send Mrs. Isaiah Warren,
Wheeling, W. Va, the name of a
reliable person who will aid her in
arousing interest and securing sig
natures to q petition for the pas
sage of a Scientific instruction bill
by our next Legislature?
Many express themselves as anx-
ious to help on the Temperance
cause if they only knew what to
do. Here is a chance.
There is much labor involved in
this work Mrs. Warren has under
taken, and every hand should be
reached out to help.

A Special appeal To Presidents
of Local Unions and Superin-
tendents Of Departments.

DEAR SISTERS:
1t is impossible with the rapidly
growing work, for me to write an
individual letter to each of you
when any general order" comes
from national headquarters, or any
special request is made by myself
or State Superintendent, with re-
gard to the work. And l ask as an
especial favor that you consider
each request made in the columns
of the FKEExAN, and addressed to
you, as personal as if written with
pen and ink, and bearing your su-
prescription.
In this weeks issue are several
of these letters, which if written to
each local President and superin-
tendert would aggregate several
hundred.
You can readily see how burden
some this work becomes when ad-
ded to the many letters that / am
compelled to write relative to spe-
cial matters.
A careful remembrance of, and
compliance with this request will
greatly forward the work and OBJ
lige,
Yours to serve

A New Departure.

Sarah Harris, our Quaker friend
of Franklin, Virginia, asks US to
unite in prayer with her that the
tobacco crop of Virginia may not
grow and prosper, and that Vir.

any business that will be a source
of injury to themselves and others.
We confess the first part is a novel
request, but if she will add West
Virginia, we can offer the petition
with increased fervor.

A Few FavOrs.
Asked for the First District
Convention.

10 ask, Win reference 10 tuo Dlo-
trict Convention to be held at New
Cumberland April 22nd and 2Srd.
LIST. That each Union in the Dis
trict Immediately appoint delegates
and instruct the Secretary to pro-
vide them with proper credentials.
This failure has been a source of
great annoyance in the past.
End. Promptly forward to Mrs. j.
M. Porter the names of those who
will attend.
3rd. Bear in mind that to be
present at the morning session, you
will have to be in New Cumber-
land the 21st, as the earliest train
does not reach there until a little
before noon.
4th. Any community desiring to
organize, please send visiting dele
gates, who will be entitled to all
privileges of the Convention, save
that of voting. These too should
forward their names to Mrs. Porter.
9th. Owing to the small number
of Unions in the First District, and
our desire to interest others, and
increase this number; we have
broadened our invitation so as to
take in all who are sufficiently
interested in w. G. T. U. work to
attend only asking that you too
send in your names to Mrs. J. M.
Porter, not only for their conven-
fence, but your comfort. 1t is so
much pleasanter to have somebody
waiting to receive you, than to
look about for some one to take
you in.
9Th. Make memorandum of any
points, upon which you may desire
information, or any suggestions
that may occur to you that will be
helpful to others; lest in the rush
of business, they be forgotten. A
box will be kept open for any ques-
tions upon matters that might as
sumo personal character, if asked
verbally.
Let US all bear in mind, we are
coming together to help and
strengthen one another by counsel,
experience and prayer. Let US not
forget that in ourselves we are only
a small company of women, repre-
senting no political power and but
little of this worlds goods; sitting
in council to plan a warfare
against an enemy strongly
entrenched behind political and
legal breastworks, at whose COM
mand are the vast treasures of the
Brewers and Liquor Dealers Asso-
Citations; that we are as grass
hoppers beside these liquor giants,
AID that our weapons are but as
trumpets of rams horns in their
estimation.
And tho our marching around
their walls may seem to them and
the world, as child's play, let US
not forget that He who leads the
white ribbon hosts was Joshua's
God, and Gideon's Captain, the
Deliverer, whose triumph Miriam
sang. Let our eyes look unto Him
who hath promised, 81 will
instruct thee; will teach thee in
the way in which thou shalt go; I
will guide thee with mine eye."
Let our expectation be of Him
who hath said, "Woe unto him that
giveth has raeighbor drink"
"Woe to them that devise imiquity" x
"Who can stand before has indig-
natioms Who can abide in the fierce
ness Of his amger"
Let US take courage. "Jf God be
