Gleanings From the Field.
FAYETTEVILLE.

DEAR Mrs. SUTToN:-You will
please chronicle the happy event of
our dear little Quaker Presidents
coming to us. She honored US with
her presence for three nights, then
took leave of us, following up her
grand mission to other fields.
On Thursday night we presented a
program in honor of her coming, at
the G. P. church, which was highly
acceptable. Since CHRONICLE space
is limited, will not attempt details.
Suffice it to say each We'd with the
other to do the best, hence every part
was well sustained. However, l trust
l may be INDUCED in especial mention

There was once an old Roman Sen.
ator, who was accustomed to con-
clude every speech he made in the
Senate with these words: Carthage
delenda est" Carthage must be de-
stroyed. He knew that so long as
Carthage existed Rome would have
woe. For the new party, l would
have the watchword, "Caupona de-
lenda est"-the saloon must be de-
stroyed; and would set aside every
other issue until the country did see
the saloon destroyed.-Rev. Charles
f. Deems, ID, in lecture at Chau-
tauqua, N. T., Aug. 10, 1890.

The brethren said, "Keep right on
praying, sisters; you're right in the
line of Gods providence" But we
could never understand it; how we
were in the line of Gods providence,
praying the saloon out of existence,
and they were in the line of Gods
providence voting them in.-Rev.
Anna Shaw.
Will somebody only rise and ex-
plain for the satisfaction Of more than
Anna Shaw?

Reports Wanted.

The Unions will remember to COL
lect the semi-annual dues and prepare
their reports, as blanks will be for
warded in very few days, to the end
that the Corresponding Secretary may
gather the data out of which to pre-
pare her report to the National Secre-
tary.

faith accompanied by works. Their
latest demonstration was a spirited
Demorest Medal contest, in which
Master Jack True was the happy
winner. 1t is the plan of the w. G.
I. U. to have another contest the
latter part of September. A tride of
a fee at the door will enable them to
cancel all pledges and demands to the
State, and leave them nice nest-egg
in the treasury.

ures. The exercises were most hap
PLY opened by grand march of the
Y's. The "National Anthem" too,
served to rekindle the smoldering
embers of true patriotism-such a
patriotism as would make us free in
deed.
But we would most gratefully speak
of the helpful services rendered by
our brothers, Ragland and Mollay,
the former welcoming our beloved
president to our town, to the W. G.
L. u, indeed to all our hearts and
homes. This he did in d we'll timed,
most beftting speech, putting each
heart in happy tune for the occasion.
Following this unique address was
one of Bro. Molley's soul-stirring
prayers, which proved veritable in
spiration, confirming our belief that
this is Gods own work, and that he
will in his own time bless even the
humblest of our efforts.
Another GROWING feature was the
"Bottomless Jug so cleverly de-
scribed by Miss Waggener. This jug
well deserves to be cherished as an
heirloom, and should be commence
rated in story and in song. A won
derful jug by which an ingenious
little wife maneuvred the reformation
Of her drinking husband. She cove
nanted with him to drink the last drop
herself, and then to drink all it would
hold thereafter CATER she by some
strategical art had removed the bot
tony; the jug then to be hung upon
the wall as a covenant between them,
and their children after them. To
dwell upon the appropriate recitations
and inspiring music on that occasion
would consume too much space. |
must hasten to tell you of Mrs.
Chace's interesting and instructive
little address to the "Y's." She en-
gagged their undivided attention as
she carried them along the various
lines of duty as she showed them
unmlstakably the great burden of re-
sponsibility that rested upon their
young shoulder in the work of saving
the young men and boys from the
terrors of the drink habit. She
showed them conclusively that this
was their work, and besought them
to consecrate themselves more fully
and earnestly to it.
At the close of her remarks, col
lection was taken, and with the sing
ing of the temperance doxology and
benediction by Bro. Motley, our
meeting adjourned.
Friday evening was occupied almost
exclusively by Mrs. Chace, who en-
tertained us most proltably with a
Bible reading, accompanied with
wholesome instructions upon how to
live, the chief points being a. to
reach the control of others by first
conquering ourselves; (2,) the neces-
sity of single standard Of morality
for both sexes; (3.) the inhumanity
of condemning and ostracising one
sex, while the other is borne on the
top wave of society-installed in the
hearts of the first families as though
his completely in the outrage were but
a trihe.
Mrs Chace also met the w @ r

Remember Unions, to send all
monies except that for shares of stock
to the Corresponding Secretary, who
is also Financial Secretary. That for
shares of stock is to be RENTED to
Mrs. L. M. Chace.
Highly encouraging news reaches
us again this week, little late for
present insertion; but shall refresh
the temperance readers bye-and-bye.
Look out for it.
We are delighted to announce with
some degree of certainty the coming
of our distinguished Mrs. Mary Read
Goodale, of Baton Rouge, La. She
enters the State on the 10th inst, her
first appointments being as follows:
Washington, the 10th and 18th.
Hope, the 10Th.
Arkadelphia, the 18th.
Little Rock, one week.
Beyond this a little unsettled, but
Morrilton, Beebe, Judsonia, Brinkley,
Pine Bluff, Russellville, GAINESVILLE,
Ozark, Van Buren,, Mansfield, Fort
Smith, Hackett City, and Fayetteville,
all have bespoken a share in this
grand intellectual feast. This array
of petitions for her services is truly
encouraging, and her labors among
us will only give impetus to the cause.
She will reach Little Rock between
tle 18th and goth inst. Further de-
tails next week.

W. G. T. Unions or other temper
ance organizations would find it to
their profit to call to their aid the
Rev. W. H. Williams, of Texarkana.
His lecture "From the Saloon to the
Pulpit is considered by competent
judges to be one of superior merit;
and since he has been down in the
drunkards' valley and shadow of
death, he is able, out of a bitter ex-
perience, to speak concerning The ter
rible evils of the drink habit. He is
thoroughly acquainted with the Bible
PHASES of the temperance question,
and stand ready to discuss the sub
ject from Scriptural standpoint. He
is outspoken against the use of fer
mented wine for sacramental pur-
poses, and says that he never COM
munes when such wine is served.
Will other ministers and church off
cials dare place this stumbling block
in his way, thus giving OCCASION for
his fall?
