fresh gresn grass and grain and a
snuff of the sweet odor OF bursting
blossoms, made us ashamed Of having
INDUCED q thought Of gloom
The arrival OF the early train from
the west at Mexico, brought bevy |
Of laughing Y's who found their
Sister Y's busy preparing for their
entertainment The W's were there !
too; some guests from the night be- |
fore Those at their homes busy
looking after the culinary depart
ment. Temperance people are not
afraid of cold water. SO when the
time came they were IN their places
and ready to begin the duties Of the
day.
The Us were especially happy IN
having with them their Y Mother
Mrs w b. Rhodes, having heart
large and tender enough to take them
all IN as she proved to them before
the meeting Was over.
Our faithful Superintendent of
Evangelistic work was ready to open
the meeting in her happy way with
responsive temperance exercise
Then followed the address OF
Welcome by Mrs Efhe Parker. Worry
cordial it was and proved its sincerity
by what followed in the WAY of en-
tertainment
Ths response by Miss Gibson
beautifully expressed Just Hhat We
all wanted Ia say. Then came
summary of the years work by our
loved President, which with the fail
ures and the unpleasant and disagree
able things left out, made Us all feel
verv comfortable and with her
characteristic love and charity gave
US all more credit than we deserve.
And in Inodestv did herself injustice.
Next came the Report of Rec. Sec
with Treasurers report.
4 carefully prepared paper on
Heredity and Hygiene, WAS read by
Miss ellison giving some very useful
information. which all ought to know.
The report Of the Cor. Sec. WAS
interesting throughout, concluding
with letter from Miss Hays 10 the
W. c. T. Us of Juniata Co. The
most Interesting item of this letter
WAS an account given OF the w g
i. Us, Miss Hayes found Ill Toxic,
stated that she had looked through
her tears at the White Ribbon worn
bv those native Japanese women. \
Magazine of this Union also came
with the letter In the native language
and it was passed through the
audience and scanned with much
interest
The Reports of delegates gave en-
couragement from some points in
other sections the work does not
advance ~ ii should, and in some
parts Of the Co, there IS need of
Organization. An election of officers
then took place which 1t is just
possible the "brethren" might not
have thought strictly methodical or
business like, but II resulted in the
election Of the following ofiicers,
President, Mrs. Daniel hloss; Vice
Pres, Mrs Rev Lesher; Cor Sec,
Miss ). j. Irwin; Rec. Sec, Miss
Mary NJ. Lyon Treasurer, Mrs. q.
