"What beautiful morning; we could
not have wished for a more lovely day."
was what the members Of the Aberdeen
w. G. T. U. thought and said last
Wednesday morning, as they started off
to attend the Fourth Annual Convention
of the Womans Christian Temperance
Union OF Chehalis county, at IIoquiam.
And the lovely morning proved a fore
taste of the pleasure in store for us-the
two days at the convention were delight
full. We were sorry we could not be
present at the evening sessions, as all
who attended said they were full OF in
terest.
Every Union in the county was repre-
sented at the convention, and the Aber-
deem delegation filed into the meeting
first, in time to hear the reports, which
were very encouraging. The work has
been growing and spreading the past
year, and each report showed increased
interest.
After a song, 1--WE All Belong" the
president, Mrs. Dr. Coleman, of Mon.
tesano, gave her annual address. 1t was
replete with good thoughts, suggestions
and plans for more earnest and aggressive
work the coming year. We hope to have
it tor our column so that all may read it..
At the close of the address we were glad
to hear from some of our honorary men,
bers, especially DR.. Bright, who has so
valiantly and fearlessly championed the
cause Of temperance in Aberdeen. We
need not add that what he said was right
to the point and very helpful. After a
song came the noon-tide hour OF prayer,
led by Mrs. Spencer, of Hoquiam, state
superintendent OF Mothers Meetings. 1t
was blessed half-hour, long to be re-
membered. So closed the session Of
Wednesday forenoon.
The afternoon session opened with a
song service, led by Mrs. Elston, Of
Aberdeen. Then came reports OF CORE
spending secretary and treasurer, which
we shall give hereafter. According to
the program members of the Satsop
Union were to sing at this point, but in
stead their president, Mrs. l.. L. Trask,
recited a beautiful poem on "Doing for
the Master" Then we had reports of
department work and a question box,
after which Mrs. Ilckerson, OF Cosmopo-
lis, read an excellent paper on "Educa-
tional Temperance Work" The conven-
ton then adjourned till 730p. m.
The evening session opened with de-
votonal half-hour, led by Mrs. Jordan,
of Elma, and was followed by reports,
discussions and papers, of which we re-
greet we cannot give report in full.
Thursday morning Mrs. Rcvclle, OF
Hoquiam, led the devotional half-hour,
then, after roli-call and reading OF min
utes, our state president, MIS-. DR.. F.. j.
Fltield, OF Tacoma. gave a short talk on
"a Model Union.' She had just fin
ished as our Aberdeen delegates entered
the church, for which we were very sorry
After singing, the state president gave us
short but very interesting Parliamentary
Drill, and then came the election OF Off
GERS. The following were chosen for the
coming year:
President, Mrs Trask, of Satsop; CORE
spending secretary. Mrs. Jordan, Elma !;
recording secretary, Mrs. Elston, Aber-
deem; treasurer, Mrs. Barker, IIoquam.
Mrs. Coleman, OF Montesano, was elected
delegate-a t-large to the state convention.

SOWING AND PRAYING.

SOWING AND PRAYING.
Sow, SOW, SOW,
Ever keep on sowing;
God will cause the seed to grow
Faster than your knowing.
Nothing e'er was sown in vain,
If, His voice obcying,
You look upward for the rain,
And falter not in praying.
Pray, pray, pray,
Ever keep Oh praying;
In the brightest, darkest day,
Still His voice obeying.
Never from the gates of prayer
Turn with doubling sorrow;
For the One who standeth there
May answer thee-tomorrow.

We are facing a serious emergency. and

action. There is no trouble in our finan-
cial affairs except such as is produced
