w. G.. +, U, County Convention.

The semi-annual convention of Cheha-
lis County Woman's Christian Temper.
ance Union, which was held in Aberdeen
last Thursday and Friday, was one Of the
best we've ever had. Pe,haps the num-
Der OF delegates present was not as large
as usual, but such spirit Of harmony
and conservation seemed to pervade each
session that every member felt it was
blessed to he there. Tten, too, there
were 60 many earnest, heartfelt talks and
papers that every minute told-there was
no waste of time. Even at the noon and
evening intermissions the good work went
OH, for through the kindness OF our friends
the local union was enabled to entertain
the delegates at lunch and tea at the
church both days, SO the convention
seemed an almost continuous session.
We wish we had time and space to tell
you of some OF the especially interesting
talk and papers, and we arc sorry you
couldn't all have been there and heard
them, especially the talk of dear Mother
MacDougall, OF Michigan, on ''The Re-
sponsibility Of Christian Women to the
w. G. T. w." 1t was we'll worth hear
ing. The County Demorest Medal Con-
test, Friday evening, was a fitting close
to the convention, and too much praise
cannot be given to the contestants, who
performed their parts 80 we'll.
