Among the remarkable women upon the
temperance platform is Miss Henrietta
G. Moore, of Springfield Ohio. OF rare
attainments, Of deep convict ions, Of clear
ennnciation Of thought, her martyrdom
commenced early, when her Temperance
utterances autagonized a school board and
she was set aside. Such one could not
long have been unknown, but it is pleas
ure and honor to have been permitted to
lead her forth, as it soon became 10y, 10
foster her preparatory efforts for that life
Of usefulness to which she deyotes herself.
She was soon elected corresponding secre-
tary of the Ohio w. G. r. L., and stood
by my side a strong pillar Of support, and
our hearts were 'knit together as one
soul" Her health suffered under such
pressure, and hearing a call from beyond
the State, she entered the National field,
where she has taken rank ith the most
advanced thinkers Of the temperance re-
form. Her logical argument, keen satire.
tender pathos and eloquent pleading, have
won ioi hcI an CIV idolc reputation
throughout the nation. Her courage and
patience and sacrifices are known only to
the "All-seeing One, " but for that meas
urc which we may understand, she is en-
balmed within the hearts OF her friends, to
whom her name has become the synonym
of strength, good sense pointedly express
ed, keen and yiyaeious wit, earnest faith
and true philanthropy.

1t is my experience that We have had no
more efficient nor acceptable speaker in the
State OF Ohio than Miss Henrietta G.
Moore. Whether in the attractive forci-
BILE and eloqent presentation Of the need Of
the entire prohibition Of the liquor traffic,

ton Of women gathered to organize a w.

always grudged her every absence from
the State. The fact that reconciled me
was that VIC ought not to claim her for one
State. Such ability commanded the field
Of the nation. Every place which she
visits receives an nplift, the cause is ad-
yanced and the people are convinced and
delighted. Firm in her adherence to the
right, yet she has the happy faculty Of dis
arming opposition by her persuasive argu-
ment and digniied bearing. That place is
well of which secures her services.
