favor of placing the Bible in public
schools and enforcing the Sabbath laws.
The resolution 10 which your attention is
especially invited, reads as follows: The
National w. c. T. u, in its fourteenth
Convention assembled, offers its devout
thanks TO the Wonderful, the Counselor,
who has led its hosts through light and
shadow, success and defeat, even unto this
nu~rcious hour. and declares its solemn
purpose to help forward the universal
regin OF Christ in the customs Of society
aud the laws OF the land, not in form but
in fact, not ecclesiastically but really,
through the spirit Of truth, whom He
promised 10 His followers aud who will
lead into all truth every heart that is loyal
10 God aud home and native land.
40. We ask you to indorse IN this Con-
yen'ion. as yon did In the meeting OF your
Executive Committee at Chicago last
autumn, the following resolutions:
"REsoLvED, That with deep sense OF
| significance of such action, we, women rep
resentatives of thiriy-seven States and
| five Territories, do most solemuly urge
upon all political parties and partisan pa
pers the duty of avoiding, in the pending
Presidential compaign, the personal vilih-
cation and abuse that characterized the
last, and we call upon them TO consider the
fact that the women of the North aud
South have clasped hands IN concord and
cooperation, which is the most practical
proof that war tissues aie dead, and that the
land should have rest from reviving them
for campaign purposes. We protest a'
women against this outrage upon the
growing spirit of fraternity, and we reiter-
ale the cry of the great general, Let III
have peace y
"3. That we urge upon all other temper
ance organizations the necessity of having
an attorney at Washington to look after
our interests, in the maintenance Of whom
tile National Women's Christian Temper
ance Union will bear itS full share.
~. That we rejoice in the great suc-
cesres gained by the Prohibition part.
during the past year, and We again pledg,
II our hearty cooperation, assuring il o.
our prayers and sympathies.
IS. RESOLVED, that we ask the prohibi-
tion party, at The coming National Con-
vention,'to reaffirm its former position il
regard 10 woman's ballot.
