STEEL WORKS. al steeiton. Pa. We %ere
first shown lie great piles q ore lying in
unsightly heaps around the buildings.
From this to various other departments m
I'll wc came 10 the shining steel rails
ready for use.
We wondered AZ the amount Of work
and al tie nice division Of labor It re-
quired 10 make them, tie variety Of pro
cesses through which the ore passed ere il
vas converted into steel raiI-. One st Of
workmen wheeled the ore tn the furnace,
nothing else. While ia ihe smelling
room. where the iron was being converted
into steel. by forcing 4 blast of cold air
through tie huge czldon containing the
liquid iron, upon d Platform raised some
feet above the floor. stood lhree mea
watching the flame from the ealdrea, by
the color Of which they mnsf kuow just

the desired quality. You sec, i took very
different ability TO do this. from what vas
needed 10 wheel the ore to the furnace. but
it required the faithful Performance Of tho
first equally with the second.
There are, believe. thirty-nino depart-
tnents in our temperance movement. wiih
our hon0red Frances willard at the head.
We have only national president. that is
all tie work needs.
Every woman Of the II. CT. L. il not
expected to be . France Willard. / doubt
lift is a thing 10 be desired, but every NO
man Is expected 70 do thu work that falls
10 her. 70 the best of her ability. Dear
Sisters, / wonder If do realize how much
workers are needed. and ii The variety Of
work 10 b done Can ans ono say that
in all Of our %thirty-nine departments, with
their subdivisions, there IS 10 PLACE for
her, no work for which she IS especially
fitted ?
have heard the complaint coming from
more than one Union, Of the difficulty Of
getting any one to take charge % a Band
Of Hope. At our last convention. one OF
two delegates reported no Band % Hops,
because 10 one could be found to take
charge of IT,. / suppose very few ri ogr
Unions number less than fifteen. l. il
possible. that out Of fifteen women not
one is capable Of organizing the children
into classes for instruction regarding the
evils Of -intemperance Do we mean to
say that the Heavenly Father has failed IN
His loving care Of these little ones.
that must remain in ignorance Of, and
grow up a prey TO, this evil, = burden to 30
ciety, because He failed to give one ont 81
fifteen women the ability to teach them
otherwise ? surely not. He who notes
even the fall Of a sparrow does not fail in
providing for the training Of an Immortal
soul.
If there Is a failure some one Of His
creatures Is responsible. OHr work las
many branches. because the evils % in
temperance are many sided and ail -orts Of
other evils are It's fruits, pauperism, insanity,
etc. Hence the need Of every ones help.
True, all haye not the same gifts, bat if sc
''coyet the best gift, which U Us sill be
the thing We arc best fitted 10 10 and
which no others Can do 80 veil, we wfll
have the whole machinery Of our temper
ance movement working harmoniously and
/ gloriousIy. In the beginning we may find
only crude ore, but it II our business to
help set the machinery in motion to de-
yelop something out Of it fit for thc MAJ
ter's use. Then let as each find our place
and keep every department working. Let
it be said Of no Union in oar broad land
that such and such a department Is ian
gushing because no one can be found
10 work it. The very need Is evidence
that somewhere God has created The
worker. If this need IS IN your Union the
worker must be found their, to6. 10
some, il may be given To bring tie ore
only; to others, the purifying, shaping and
fashioning It. That our children VIII be
taught the evils Of intetnpcranee, purity Of
social life will be established, piblic s,hii-
