"A NcSAuSO4l plcasluR ltdluIc OF the
r Conference was the music. This was in
charge Of Mrs. George H. Hooking. The
} selections were appropriate and well rem
dered. Several beautiful recitations were
given by little Jennie Brendle, Of law
renee, Mass. The Band Of Hope also in
terspersed the exercises with songs and
recitations-
Impressive memorial services were
held in honor of Miss Belle Kimmell.
Much time was given on Friday morning
and afternoon to the reading Of reports
from local unions and superintendents
These showed a good condition of the
union.
The reports ofsuperintsndents develop
ed considerable discussion, which we re-
gret was not heard by every member of
each local union. In her remarks on
Scientific Temperace Instruction" Mrs.
MAR urged that mothers visit the public
schools and see how often, aud in what
manner, this branch is taught. In some
places it is wrongly taught in others,
neglected.
She told of one teacher who instructed
her pupils TO drink little beer, in order
to learn how to abstain.
Much serious thought was aroused on
the subject of unfermented wine at the
Lords Sacrament. Mrs. Mair urged that
all should protest against the use of fer
mented wine.
The next convention will be held at |
Salisbury on September lst and 2nd, |
1892.
The same officers were reelected for
the ensuing year.
