MISS WILLARD'S ELOQUENT ADDRESS.
sink or Swim, Live or Die, Survive or Per-
ish, We VIII Keep the Banner OF Chris
tian Temperance Waving"

BosTos, Mass. Nov. 13.-The Worlds
Convention Of the National Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union opened in fremont
Temple to-day, overflow meetings being held
in the Park-street church and Bromfeld-
street church. There were fully four thou
sand people present besides the three thou
sand delegates. Miss Willard called the
meeting to order and delivered her annual
address. which was full Of encouragement
and stirring prophecies
Following m eloquent account Of the mag
ntude and iar-reaching results OF the woman
work IN temperance Miss Willard said 80
the work goes on. The new territory is pre-
empted and woman's realm Of philanthropy
encroaches each day upon the empire OF SIN,
disease and misery that has so long existed
that We thought it must endure forever But
there remains An immense territory TO lie pos
sessed. The church itself must have new
crusade. IL must become the peoples home.
CHURCH ATTRACTIONS
Its doors of gospel grace must stand open
night and day. II must not be a huge locked
up cube of masonry with dead atmosphere
inside during SIX days Of the week for such
cannot be the twentieth century exponent Of
the church Of him who went about doing
good We must draw the people 20 the
church by having something there for them
which will lead them up through the material
to the perception and love of spiritual bless
ings. But 10 my mind the greatest result that
the first century of organized temperance re-
form has wrought Is tue lsoatlng of the traf-
hc into special channels There Is
cardinal principle IN every kind Of warfare
that YOU must first isolate your enemy that
you may successfully deal him the coup dc
grace you must cut OF both supplies and re-
treat before victory is sure. That party which
unmistakably declares for the prohibition OF
strong drink in the political platforms of 1872
IS the only one that can hope for the good
will good work and prayers Of w. G. T.. I.
We nailed that banner to the masthead IN
1854, and sink or swim, live or die. survive or
perish we will keep 1t waving"
WORK OF THE MEMBERS.
Miss Willard paid a glowing tribute to the
individual and collective work OF the mem
bers. God " she said. has helped US 20
build better than we knew. If these women
had their way and they intend 10 have It, the
tant of alcohol and nicotine would not be on

and no gambler could with impuDlty pursue
his vile vocation. The haunts OF shame that
