The Van Buren, US, under the lead
ership of the inestimable Mrs. W. H.
H. SHIRLEY, have won especial men
ton, and we gladly accord them
space. Their valorous achievements
already deserve the rank of cham
pions to the glorious temperance
cause. The liquor-men look on them
with serious dread, fearing that they
will one day work the demolition of
their Golden Calf-the liquor traffic.
Their voices are ever attuned and
their hands lent to every occasion that
has for it's object the furthering of
Temperance movement.
In no age of the world before have
the young people come to the fore
front in the great and grave issues of
Church, State and Society as at the
present. The mighty hosts Of young
people that have erected for them
selves a lofty standard of excellence,
and pledged themselves TO work to-
ward it, is subject of wide COM
ment.

Would No Longer Be a Spring
Board"

A notable citizen of Arkansas, a
man of superior claims upon society
and of almost illimitable influence
over young men, had the drink habit.
Young men in his community were
frequently known to make kind of
breastworks of him when attacked by
their friends for a like weakness.
"Mr. G. drinks, and he is q tip-top
man, as everybody agrees" was
their standing plea. The charge at
last hoated to him and his accounta-
bility soon burst upon him. In the

The Prayer Meeting of the goth
inst. at the W. C. T. U. parlors
proved a most helpful and enjoyable
occasion, lacking in but one feature
generous attendance. With the
earnest and faithful Mrs. Thompson
in the chair, there was no room for
failure. The 'Scriptural passages
were especially selected to meet the
occasion. These were distributed
among the sisterhood for reading and
comment. They came up to the
work with zeal and alacrity sur
prising to themselves. The meeting
finally closed with the united express
sion that il had been season of Pc
culiar conservation and one long to
be remembered.

mothers lives, therefore how import
tant that mother should be con-
secrated Christian.
Mary Allen West tells in her leaaet
on the subject Of Mothers Meetings,
how in early days mothers brought
their children at stated times and
prayed not only for but with them.
They will never forget it, and in years
to come those children will never
wander so far away, Or perhaps into
the paths OF sin, but one day the
echo of those prayers, their mothers
prayers with them, will "bring them
to themselves and their right mind"
Oh, my dear sisters, forsake not
the assembling of yourselves together,
bnt meet in prayer and lay hold with
firm and mighty grasp of the prom
ises concerning your children that
they may be counted "sons and
daughters of the living Cod" "For
the promise is unto you and your
children. /"
l have read somewhere of each
mother, when out for the first time
taking her "new baby" to the Moth
ers' Meeting, thus dedicating the
beautiful young life to God and the
service of Christ. Do this, mothers,
and doubtless from your small moth
ers' meeting away off in some village
or hamlet, shall be sent forth your
sons and daughters to carry the
Good tidings of great joy-to us is
born King" to the ends of the earth,
and the promise shall be, IL will give
thee the heather for an inheritance. "
would suggest that you search out
the careless and Indifferent mothers
who never attend Church or prayer
meeting and bring them; 60 for them
yourself and bring them with you.
1t may cost you an effort or perhaps
a little self-sacrifce; it may take you
a little out of your way, but never
mind, go; plan to start little earlier,
the result will be worth the effort.
How can goddess mother train her
children properly? She may teach
them there is "God who created all
things" but if she has never expe-
rienced what the love OF Christ can
do for her own heart, she can gosno
farther and will fail in the great OBJ
ject of life. Let every Upion APP
point a superintendent OF Mothers
Meetings and begin work at once; let
every member Of the Union look

Hints to Superinten dents of
Mothers Meetings.


Being young woman myself and
knowing nothing of the bliss Of see
ing pair of bright eyes look into
my face and hearing innocent baby
lips whisper Mamma" knowing
nothing of this, the only apology I
can offer for jotting down flew hints
as to how this department of work
can be made a success, is the fact
that in my travels I have tarried in
more than thousand homes, and
after close observation and a deep
study of home life, | can see where
mothers in a measure, fail in leading
their children to high standard of
Christian life. In the busy whirlpool
of mothers life, with so many little
dresses to be made and stockings to
be darned, with hardly minutes
enough in the hour or hours enough
in the day, with the many drains upon
a mothers time and the variety of
duties that fall to her lot and portion,
few mothers can see their way clear
to take time to pray for and with
their children. Then, too, find this
one thing so often among mothers. A
stranger comes to your midst; it
seems very easy thing to take him
by the hand and say to him, "Is it
well with thy soul?' "Are you on
the Lords side?" This is easy to
do, but when it comes to taking your
own children, those dearer TO you
than all else beside, and talking to
them Of their eternal interests, it
seems very difficult thing to do, and
this is duty often neglected by
Christian parents.
The W. G. t. q. has added to its
work department known as Mothers
Meetings, and | hope to be able to
give hint or two as to how such
meeting could be made interesting
and productive of great good.
Mothers Meetings are by no means
a new institution, but date back at
least half century, and IL is not
surprising that the W. G. T. U. should
see the Importance of adding this i'm
portant department to Union work.
The interests of the children are
ever dear to the hearts of all mothers.
"How can | best govern my boy?"
Chow can most successfully develop
the hidden graces, that if properly
brought out, will make my girls life
pleasure to herself and delight to
those about herr" GLOW can | dis
cover just the talent that when devel-
oped will lead my child-boy or girl
into the broadcast field of useful
ness?" These perplexing questions
are ever uppermost in the minds of
mothers, and nothing can be more
helpful, especially to young mothers,
than to set aside a time when they
can meet and freely discuss modes Of
government and methods of discipline
for their children, as well as to spend
a season praying for and with their
children and ask wisdom and judy
ment in the training of these young
lives and consecrate themselves more
fully to the service of Him whose
footsteps they would have their chill
dren follow, for if you would have
your children earnest Christians,

St. Louis to Colorado via Wichita.

Commencing Sunday, July 1880, the
Missouri Pacific railway will run through
sleeping cars from St. Louis via Pleasant
Hill, Rich Hill, Fort Scott and Wichita to
GeneSeo and from thence to Pueblo. Colo
RADIO Springs and Denver. This change
was made on account of great many peO-
pie from the east going to Colorado being
DESTROYS of going via Wichita. The train
will stop here two hours, giving all a
chance to view the Peerless Princess" and
still land passengers in Colorado same
time as if they had gone via Kansas City.
1t also gives the citizens of Wichita sleep
ing car service from here to Colorado. Re
turning, it gives us through sleeping car
service Wichita oSt Louis, and gives the
Colorado people a chance to go east via
Wichita This change will undoubtedly
be appreciated by the travelling public, and
especially by the citizens of Wichita. If
you are going east or west go via the pop
ular new through route. Through chair
and sleeping car service. New route just
completed between Fort Scott and Rich
Hill goes through the finest mineral and
agricultural country in the west. Don't
forget the new short line to St. Louis or
Colorado.

Brennan and Gerard were eight
weights, " and the match between them that
resulted so disastrously was arranged by
''baokers" who thought they could make
money out of the two poor brutes who
stood up and thumped each other at their
masters bidding. The battle lasted for
only five rounds. Then Brennan was hauled
out of the ring like a-slaughtered beef, and
his conqueror received what is popularity
termed an ovation" When the beaten
fighter had breathed his last, however, the
police stepped in and arrested five of the
chief abettors of the affair, who later on
will have to answer the charge of man
