full thanks to the untrdmmeled minis
tiers of all denominations, who have
been so kind to its organizers. They
have been to us wall of stone, q fort
ress Of mighty strength. In my work
/ have met only one minister who ex-
pressed himself out of harmony with
our work; only one who refused to bid
this noble band of Christian workers
God speed. May the scales fall from his
eyes and, like Saul Of Tarsus, may he
have the courage to acknowledge his
error and champion the cause of Chris
tian temperance. With so much evil
in the world to preach against, and SO
many drink cursed lives, so many
heart-broken women, and starving
children caused from wine drinking,
every Christian should endeavor
TO strangle the perniceous evil.

Mrs. Caroline Il. Merrick. of New
Orleans, is name greatly beloved by
all white-ribboners in the State of
Louisiana. To show their apprecia-
ton and love for her noble services as
State president for the last ten years,
the local unions through the State
have united in raising 800 to place
her name on tablet in Willard Hall.
A check for the above amount has
just been received from Mrs. A. NJ.
Fable, of New Orleans, for this pur-
pose. Mrs. Jane p. Drysdale, of North
Adams. Mass. sends 1886 for the Miss
Tobey tablet. The w. G.. T. u. of Wy

Mrs. Merrick retired from active
Temperance work after ten years in
the thickest of the fight and was sue
ceeded by an equally jealous worker,
Mrs. NJ. Il. Goodale. Now Louisiana
should proceed to show her apprecia-
ton of such a president by raising 800

FIELD NOTES.
BY MRS. MARY l. HOsKINs, COR. SECRETARY
AND STATE ORGANIZER.

Durant resolved to make the
Rainbow Tea" glorious success on
the 3Oth of June. It is to be hoped all
local Unions will adopt the social
meetings and offer something more at
tractive to our young people than the
sinful amusements offered by the
world to allure them out of the path
of Christian duty.
