our troubles and Its N
cause at this place. ! do not come Il
seeking redress for the wrongs done a
the w. G. T. U., for that can only b
be settled before the great tribunal "
Of Justice. Believing as we do that b
the press is one Of our best edu- e
Gators it is very evident that through 4
this medium good deal can be j
done for the public good. TO en-, J
tighten those who do not know, and
to influence people who have been 8
misinformed, to see the beauty ana
grandure there is in the work OF :
the w. c. T. U. Our people have
had the political points OF our So
ciety shown to them so often that
they have formed the opinion the
w. C.. I. U. is only woman's
political party and consequently not
tit to 90 into our churches. Incl
brethren of our churches, more es-
pecially, are not informed as to the
different departments Of christian
work which belong to the W. Y. II
o.. and because we have adopted
prohibition is only because SO many
OF our mothers have been made TO
abhor the wine cup, and only wish
, the destruction Of the saloon. we
all know that if the two leading par
ties had wished to do away with the
saloon they could have done it, Tor
: they both have had the power, and
! the prohibition party is the only one
:, in favor Of removing them. How
can our America be independent
6 and free, while SO many thousands
: Of its people are slaves to this curse
and the saloon is waiting to-day tt
!. ensnare the feet of our dear sons
when they must 60 out into TIT
world to battle with its temptations
liz we could lift high the Christian
<, Standard, and let our people see tn
De different departments OF chrlstla
r, work taken up all over our countr
K by the women Of the w. {. I. I
Mt am sure such trouble would nc
as exist.
d. If we can not see a great wor
r. done and great reformatio
ct brought about in our own neighbol
hood, we cry to close our churcf
doors against such doings, althoug
e. they are opened to other things th'
IN have no pretentions to christianity
K They often read one side OF II

NJ our women, and not from chrlstii
standpoint. "With malice towal
