LONDON, June 10, 1ss5.-The third be-
ennial convention of the Worlds Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union was
opened in Queens Hall. Langham, at ten
o'clock this morning. Miss Frances E.
willard, President of the Union presided.
There was a very large attendance of del
egates and others. Lady Henry Somer-
| set, President of the National British
Women's Temperance Association, deliv-
cred an address of welcome, after which
Miss Willard addressed the convention
in part as follows:-

gathered out of the leading nations of
the world, with a few native pioneers
from oriental and continental countries,
to put our heads and hearts together for
the building of the woman's home pro-
lection movement, because it is the
fttest to survive: the best adapted to
it's environment: and we are here for
the pulling down of the liquor system,
because, judging by its effects, it is the
most unfit and the least adapted to that
slowly improveing environment which is
the outcome of Christianity working on
the minds and bodies of the human race.
