church in operation. Well he doesn't
miss it very lar. 1t truly is wide awake
force in lively activity in behalf OF help
less humanity. She is making herself
felt in more than one department of our
national life. She is the goading force
back of the franchise movement. 1t is
she more than any other power that
recently pushed the women's suffrage
bills before the legislatures of the two
Dakotas, Montana, Maine, Washington,
Arizona, Idaho, California and Oregon.
And in the faraway land of Australia it
has actually triumphed and is present
realization l see in this God given right
power behind the throne that reads the
well-deserved fate of the saloon power.
The harlot Of all our woes.
This years efforts on the part Of the
diverse state governments to raise the age
of consent, can boast Of being original in
this noble act OF charity for the protection
Of our girls, but they are compelled to adj
NIT that the w G T U itself is the prime
instigator OF this worthy cause.
So that in this and other departments
Of the work she is proving the true tariff
protection OF our home and every land.
In order to get better idea Of what the
w ct U is in respect to its character it
can be done in no better light than to
represent it as an evangelistic agent, for
it is. To prove it, extract if you will, its
evangelistic spirit and you will have
nothing left but a lifeless corpse.
That that gives it this character is the
love of God and the holy spirit in the
hearts of its consecrated members.
That the W CT U may the better do
its work it is divided into forty-two de-
partments of work. Then in order that
these diverse divisions OF work may be
made as effective as possible, they are
looked after by local, county, district,
state, national and worlds superinten-
dents.
I humbly beg of you to pardon per-
sonal reference, being member myself
Of this corps Of superintendent feel the
necessity of never letting 60 the horns Of
the altar Of power divine till God baptised
me with double portion Of the evangel-
istic spirit, or to let fall ON me the cloak
Of some departing Elijah. l beg of you
dear sisters to suffer word OF exortation.
Let us one and all 80 to him in our
closets Of devotion that Jesus may burn
up the dross Of Indifference, if guilty,
with baptism Of evangelistic fires, per-
sonal preparation for our respective
duties.
five do this we will not selfishly drink
Of the river of life or eat Of the tree bear.
ing twelve manner OF fruits and behold
the Vanishing sons Of Adam hungering
and thirsting for that which their souls
are dying.
1t would be better far to be dead than
doing this. For to share in such work
would be the bliss Of heaven. What will
it profit redeemed soul to rest contented
in its own security and have no concern
for those in need, for this thing Of religion
is mutual affair. We are told that no
one liveth or dieth unto himself. May
the motto Of our life be to make daily
resignation to God. May this be the key
Of the night and the key Of the morning,
for He who talked as never man talked
said without me We can do nothing.
A certain one has said the quickest
way to know all about thing is to try to
do it.
Therefore in order to know as much
about our work as possible, let us try in
His name to do our work better.
We all can do more than we have done
and not be a bit the worse. 1t never was
loving that emptied the heart or giving
that emptied the purse.
