Buell. and others, took part.
In opening the Conference Mrs.
Buell., President, congratulated the
workers and all friends of the great
cause on the rapid progress made
since the last meeting in these
beautiful groves on the Mountain
Top. Within the past year we
have had that grand deliverance of
the Supreme Court, settling forever
the vexed question. of compensa-
ton to liquor men and the right
of State to abate the Saloon as a
nuisance. Another evidence that
the power of the Home forces was
being felt, was the active work of
organization, being pushed by the
liquor men as never before. We
are compelling the enemy to come
out FROM his ambuscade and fight
US in open battle.
This is most encouraging. 1t is
Gods great cause but it is our work.
