largely Scandinavian we will give
hearty cooperation to the superinte nd

every means TO secure as allies to the

The Sunday opening of the Columbian
exposition, the Geary law, which VIC
ialeS the treaty of our government with
China and threatens TO put all end 10
friendly relations with the Chinese and
to cause the expulsion of American mis-
si0naries from that empire, and the
Seuding of liquor and tobacco from this
country To Africa and other uncivifiZed
lands, show US the great need OF work
at homie on all moral lines TO make our
nation in reality, as in name, Chris

SOCIAL PURITY CAMPAIGN.
We realize mUfe and more as we en-

hand, and we will therefore double our
diligence in the work for social purity.

Woman'S Christian union the creation
of a department for the amelioration of
the condition of unfOrtunates confined
in insane aSylums. We congratulate the
women of Michigan upon the passage
by their legislature OF a law giving
municipal suffrage to women with edu-
catiOnal qualifications, the provisions of
which are similar to those of the bill
which we asked the last legislature of
Minnesota to pass.
We extend our hearty thanks and
appreciation 10 our state organizer,
Miss Fannie l.. Ames, for her faitntu.
