Mrs r.. N. Stanley reported for the
White Ribbon Banner, of which she is
editor. This is the State organ, publish
ed monthly for 25c.a year. Some things
she said
There is no middle ground between
right and wrong, except battle ground.
Dare to do right, because God is on
the side of right; always.
A bee collects only a teaspoon of
honey'in season, while from the hive
is taken from 60 to 100 pounds. A les
son to show the Importance of united
labor.
Mrs Treadwell, Mrs Forbes's prede-
cessor as State president, was present
and addressed the meeting. After
singing "America," the annual address
of the president, Mrs Forbes, was deliv-
cred. She thought the wheels of pro-
gress had moved heavily during the
year just past. Every one in authority,
ministers included, were careful not to
go ahead of public opinion. We are en-
listed for life. Re iubilant, our feet
Our cause is marching on! This is the
harvest be? She drew an imaginary
picture of what Danbury, which she de-
scribed as "a gem in Natures own set
ting" would be without saloons. Can
on Farrar says: 1.-THE greatest results
are brought about by separate small ex-
ertions." Be practical, not sentimental.
Have faith and patience. Local Unions
should do something definite. Rivers of
poverty, disease and death flow from the
traffic of rum. Children have right to
,, our help. Only 5 per cent. OF young
men are church members 81 of all the
inmates of prisons are young men.
Crime has doubled every 10 years for OF
wears. The only remedy is in teaching
the children. Sunday schools should
teach temperance. With Gods help, we
> will do what we can. The teachers OF
the public schools would, most of them
teach temperance, if the text book thai
> is prescribed by the State was not sc
:. bad. The tobacco law is not enforced
y Facts must be brought to the ears o.
:. parents and guardians. Reference was
