loved one to the land beyond. On
Flower Mission day a special eifo.: was
made and both hospitals and Jail were
visited. 1t is not an object of this de-
partment to countenance crime by Civ
ing bouquets TO criminals but on the 9Th
OF June every year our miSSiOners visit
institutions 10 which they can secure
access where people are confined
either from sTtIerin" or through crime
in memory our suinted Flower Mission
superintendent Jennie Cassidy, whose
/, heart OF love sought out the most hard
ened and who found that God ;
thoughts of beauty did enter with
Gods message when the human heart
failed. Sunday afternoon services at
the Jail have been discontinued for a
few weeks, our superintendent feeling
that She could no longer DO the work
justice, but another has been appointed
and work resumed last Sabbath. The
W. {. 7. L. has been called organized
mother love" and those Of Us who be-
ganization know Well how the mothers
instinct has been aroused not only to
think of our own but of others. and we
know too how mothers have been made
to feel the great need Of study and the
exchange of ideas upon the care and
training of our children. Mothers
meeting is one department which every
Union feels to be a necessity, for every
where We find mothers and eyerywh here
we find children. To make our Moth
er's meeting more wide reaching we or
gained a Mothers club after the most
simple manner. While Ii is part of
our w. {. T. t. work being Il branch of
OF the Purity department any woman
may become a member by attending
the meetings and giving her name. No
pledge IS offered, no fee is asked, and
no effort Is made to extend our mem
bershlp by this means. once in three
months Il committee is selected to ar
range the program and the one present
ing the subject AT one meeting presidcs
wise. We are finding these meetings
increasingly interesting and profitable
and We would urge mothers and wom-
en- generally TO take advantage of the
club. When licenses were being grant
ed last year a committee Of three waited
upon the license committee with Il petit
ton protesting against licenses being
granted 10 two OF low repute also against
one being granted for Ncmadii Park.
We had tch satisfaction Of knowing that
these were not granted. In order TO
supply our treasury we held two old
fashion Spelling Bees but the amount
realized was small This and other con-
siderations has led us TO adopt the en-
VelOpe system. Since we rented our
hall we have had Il few monthly con-
tributors and it has helped us through
wonderfully. We propose to extend
this method Of finance. Our furniture
bill was met by Il friend of the Union
and IS still unpaid, we hope soon to
see this refunded. We contribute reg

to the Lumbermen and to the home
for Women at Eau Clair besides paying
our regular State district and county
dues. Our Union is represented on
the Board of Directors for the "hospital
and home" recently opened at tho
| West End by Mrs. Pascoe and Mrs.
Davis. We assisted and paid our share
of the expenses of the School of Meth
DDS held during the year We meet
every week, one meeting is purely bust
ness, one is devoted to Bible Study, one
to study our own work and the Moth
er's club is held on the It'll Tuesday of
every month. TO each and all OF the
meetings we invite YOU.
Altogether in looking over the past
year and its works We have no occasion
to regret our labor neither does this
meagrc report discourage Us when we
/ think how few we are and able TO de-
vote only few spare minutes now and
! then. We know our cause is Just, our
work is a sacred one and we know
| that some sweet day by and bv we with
! other workers if we are faithful Will re-
| turn bringing our shcaycs with US and
/ humanity shall he blessed because OF
/ the work of the W. &. 7. L.
