The various Womens Christian Tenn
perance Unions in Windham and Cor
ham, met in mass meeting at the
Friends meeting house on the afternoon
of Friday, June 10th. Windham Centre
Union was the entertainer and had the
church beautifully decorated with flow
ers and notices. The meeting was OPP
ened by reading of the Scriptures BY
Lucy A: Snow, president of that union.
After singing, an earnest prayer was Of
fered by Elizabeth Tenney Larkin Of
Peabody, Mass. She is poet of no
mean rank, but better known to us as
the author of several of our w. G. T. u.
leaflets. A very we'll written and capa-
BILE article on Jennie Cassaday and her
work and its migrating upon the w. c.
j. U. work, was read by Miss Nettie
Lowell. After more singing the presi-
dent requested the visitors to speak. To
this invitation, Elizabeth Larkin and
Emmeline futile responded.
Mrs. Martha BODICE of South Windham
read an article on social purity. Mrs.
Sarah W. Mcclellan was to have read a
paper. but on account of illness she was
necessarily absent.
Mrs. Cora Aiken of Windham Hill.
read paper on narcotics. She consid-
cred the opium habit harder to break off
than the liquor habit Because tobacco
payes the way for liquor, she thought
every white-ribbon woman should set
her face against it. She gave some pref
ty hard hits against tea and coffee and
high living. VIM. G. Hubbard, Friends
minister of Ohio, was then called upon
and spoke strongly against the use Of
tobacco. He thought some of the tobac-
co-using animals when aboard railroad
trains ought to be kept in the stock-car.
He spoke beautifully to the mothers
about patience with the bows. and earn.
est labors to keep them pure and faith
full.
Mrs. Louisa Little of South Windham
spoke on the work at fairs. Emmeline
futile spoke strongly on the purity Of
children's lives and the need Of supreme
confidence between mothers and chill
dren.
Miss Emily Parker, one of Gorham s
most brilliant women, read paper on
the relative position of men and women
in society. She thinks the women are
little more than violets and would be
glad to see the ballot placed in their
hands.
After the afternoon meeting a basket
lunch was served and social hour was
much enjoyed by all. In the evening
Emmeline futile, who has been q
Friends missionary among the Indians
of the West, delivered lecture on tenn.
perance interspersed with many incl
