Convention Minutes.

By decision OF the Ex-Com.
the Minutes of SO and 81 will be
printed in tabulated form in con-
junction with the full proceedings
of the Convention to be held in
June, and Immediately thereafter.
If no provision has been made by
your Union toward securing Min
utes it should be done before the
Convention. If you have contribu-
ted, it stands to your credit on
Treasurer's book and the amount
will be for Narded to you in Minutes
as soon as they are printed.
Putting three years reports into
one binding makes it more expen-
sive, as we'll as more convenient for
reference and the minutes will be
Is cents instead of 10 cents per
copy. The undersigned have been
appointed a committee to devise
plans for meeting the expense of
publication and we can think OF no
better plan than to ask each Union
to make an appropriation from the
treasury or else to secure donations
from members and friends sufficient
to put copy of the minutes into
the hands of each officer and as
many active members as your fl
nances will allow.
If you prefer securing advertise
ments of legitimate business firms
in your community, minutes will
be furnished Unions to the amount
received for advertisements. The
Minutes will contain the Constitu-
ton of both State and Local I'm
ions; Superintendent of Depart
ments and the business proceed
ings of the Convention of '86, 'S7,
'S8, together with much other val
liable information, indispensable
to an intelligent, active, West Vir-
ginia White Ribboner.
We have taken the pains to
communicate with you that your
delegates may come to the Conven-
ton instructed as to what to do in
this matter.

My DEAR SISTER:
Owing to almost continuous sick

can prepare my report. Whether
you have local Superintendent
or not, whether you have accom-
plished much or little, report all
work that comes under the head
of Evangelistic Work.

Union who reads this will consider
it a personal appeal to her to see
that a report is sent me as soon as
possible.

At dusk the church was lighted

MY DEAR FRIEND.
Your card received. This is a
great work and must be done. I
have learned not to say can't, but
rather I a0aIL try. I have a great
desire to attend the Convention
house cleaning, sewing, entertain
ing company and all, brush out of
my aoay. A mighty conviction
that God requires woman to come
to the rescue of her home and her
children seems to open the way.
We liked Miss Hutchinson SO
much. Her visit was a help and
incentive to our Union.
Rev. SimoLs, the Evangelist is
here and he gives US, of all churches
who are willing to work, plenty
to do.
I invited him to speak in our last

Had the ear of men we seldom get.
We are arranging now for a
grand mass meeting to be held on

Blue Sulphur. The men all

our ladies are .fuUof speeches. We
can keep them talking oil dag.
l have lived over much of the
State as Methodist preachers wife
and l know of no place where the

ced by such gathering. This is

we can have several such mass

MRS. JANE A. JOHNSON,

Dear Friend,
I have not replied before this for
the reason that [ knew not just
where I would be during summer,
or, whether I would be near enough
to West Virginia to be of any good
to the Temperance Cause. l am
now pretty certain / shall not be
near you. The Local Option slug
gle of Raleigh seems to be wholly
in our favor we feel sure of success.
But there are SO many tricks,
and SO many things, that we can't
know just how it may turn out.
Election occurs June 4th.
From what / can catch, the
Amendment people are presenting
bold front in your State. AL
though you need to have fear, yet
at the same time I think you have
good reasons for being cheerful.
With earnest prayers for success
both here and there,
l am sincerely,
A. w. PEGUEs.

One of our White Ribboners in
writing of the discouragements and
encouragements met in their work,
says:
"The pastor Of the leading church
breaches and talks against the
temperance movement all the time.
He is good man l believe and it
is strange he cannot see the awful
evils of intemperance, but somehow
his conscience allows him to tell
his people and others who may
chance to listen that a little wine
is good for US all. I do pray the
Father will convert Mr.. - so
that he may take back all he has
said; then indeed 1 believe we may
hope to accomplish something.
1t is certainly up hill work at pres
emit, though [ am not discouraged,
for eff God be for us, who can be
against us?
do most truly thank my Heav-
emily Father for my early training
and the prayers and example OF
the best of fathers, and I not only
consider it my duty but a grand
and glorious privilege to stand
boldly for the right,and though we
be few in number, Gods blessing
is with us and if we do nothing
more we can teach the children,
We have Loyal Legion of about
thirty numbers, it having grow n
from eight to that number since
February"
NoTE.-For the present we with
hold the name and locality of the
Pastor referred to, but ask our
Unions to earnestly pray that he
may be converted and turned from
the awful sin of his pernicious
teaching and example.
