 President, Sisters, Friends:
 u IS with pleasure and thankfulness, that we iislen to your hearty words If welcome. In so warmly rendering the courtesies of your city, and so gener- onSiy opening to us the doors of your homes, you are assuring us of your faith in onr w. C. T. T.. organization and In the final outcome of all efforts to rescue the perishing to lift up the fallen, and to infuse strength and hope into hearts weak and sore beset. In thus assuming the added care which our soJOurn among you will impose, yon are demonstrating the high prin- ciple laid down by St. Paul, that no man liveth to himself. When all of earth's inhabitants reach thls point. the millennium will have dawned; till then oar province is to work and pray, aud with the same unwavering ialth thro hours of disc0uragement as thro' moments of success.
 How well chosen for our Convention Is this Spring time of the year. A few short weeks ago, all nature seemed in- animate-dead, like hopes abandoned. Spring breathed over earth's whithered face, and behold the transformation Traces of decay vanish, every line and crease is tiled by soft upspringing yer dure. The contour of Natures face is again perfect, and the bloom of peach blossom is on her cheek. The wild anemone, buttercup, aud myriads of namelesS beauties appear where we looked not for them; the mountain Ar butus sends it's fragrance and waXen perfection thro' decaying leaves, and as our hearts become tuned to natures voice, the universal thrill stlrs us anew, and If purchance we have been at all discouraged in the past year because of the exceeding power of the enemy the unc0ncern of lawmakers, the lax ness of law executors and the indif- ference ,f Christian men and women, our faith grows stronger because of this glorious Spring time, and we must believe that the work which we have done bears fruit; even when least eK- pected and among unpromiSing c0ndi- tions. We taste the spirits of Spring and like the featliery throng break out in sOng-a song of thanksgiving be- cause of the assurance that work done for God is not lost. Every sense IS imbued with the phophecy sweet, that right the day will win.
 Far back in the ages, when the blight of sin entered fair Eden, God in love gave the assurance that though man would be bruised by sin. he should set his foot upon the head of evil. Brui5- ed indeed is he through the snares of the Alcohol demon, yet, surely it's head

is being crushed by the temperance hosts. Inch by inch has the way been contested, inch by inch must it still be; but, if the time comes when human power is not sufficient to finish the monster, when human instrumentali- ties can strike no more. sacred history will repeat itself, and whiskey's min ions will be as Sennaerib'S host; when as Byron puts 1t:
 "The Angel of Death spread His wings
 on the hlast,
 And breathed in the face of the foe
 as he passed;
 And the might of the Gentle unsnote
 by the sword,
 Hath melted like snow in the glance
 of the Lord"
 For 200 years our wealth has been trying to stop the holes in its tenn perance coat with license patches; yet the rent is widening.

 Not having yet taken our right to make our principles tell at the polls, 1 congratulate the wisdom evinced by our leaders, in instituting so many de- partments of work. Seeing that one source of strength for this audacious liquor oligarchy, is the ignorance of many drinkers, the ". c. T. U., with praise worthy forethought came to the rescue. With labor untold, with peti- tionng of Legislatures and much watehtnlness it has introduced Scien- titic Temperance Instruction into the public schools throughout the length and breadth of the land, that the young and inexperienced should no longer become prey to these because ignorant of the nature and effects of alcoholic liquors.
