Miss Willard at Wofford College.

News comes to US of the great audi
ences and enthusiasm which greet Miss
Willard in the South. The cordiality
with which she met in college towns is
particularly hopeful and gratifying, and
we rejoice that she, with our cause, has
come to ''stand before princes" and to
''sit at kings tables" The Southern
Christian Adgocate of the nj. E. Church
has this to say about her address in the
chapel of Wofford College, Greensboro,
N. c.:
The audience that gathered was such
as would have greeted few other persons,
men or women. The gallery, aisles and
rostrum were packed with eager listeners
as on comm encement occasions. Alto
gether, the crowd and the attention they
gave her were an impressive tribute to a
great woman and reformer. There
seemed to be nothing incongruous in this
woman's delivering public message
from the Wofford rostrum. Her cause
and her manner of treating it made
everything fit and proper. Her theme
was temperance and social purity for both
sexes-a theme old enough and outworn
enough in some respects, but in her hands
it became an irresistibly winning plea by
reason of her genuine womanliness, her
magnetic attractiveness of voice and
manner and suggestive flashes of intel
leotual insight, toge ther with mellow
tenderness that carried what she said
straight home to the heart. With her as
it's spokesman-shall it be said ?-one can
easily catch something of the larger
influence of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union as one of the greater
forces of this age. Yet Miss Wizards
address was simple, unaffected and
motherly; there were no artificial stage
effects of attitude or voice. Indeed,
before she had been speaking long the
instructive protest that a Southern audi
ence feels against woman upon public
platform melted into sympathy with her
and hearty concord with her efforts to
protect the home against intemperance
and impurity. The address by anecdote
and allusion was so full of the fragrance
and strength of her own Illinois home as
to convince one of her right to plead for
all homes.
Large Y's were formed in the colleges
of both Spartanburg, s. c., and Green's
boro, N. C.

"I'd give more for the 'pull' than the

an astute advertiser in speaking of the
Union SSqnal, and promptly came the
reply to the somewhat inelegant senti-
ment, 'Yes, it's the faith the women have
in their own organization that gives the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
its tremendous power" Shrewd men
acknowledge it, promoters seek to feed
upon its vitality, and every moral reform
recognizes the Importance of it's coopera-
tion. Its official organ, the Union Signal,
is not the organ alone of the temperance
movement, but it stands for the aggres.

IT. is little wonder that Gladstone has
determined to re-enter the political arena
and devote his last days battling for
poor bleeding Armenia. The dhs6ofy
and cowardly course of Great Britain IN
dealing with Turkey is a burning dis
grace on that foremost Christian nation.
The clarion notes of the "Grand Old
Man, more noble than ever in battling
for those who honor the Christ whom he
serves. will arouse and fire the English
heart. and, it is hoped, will compel the
government to perform lis plain duty in
tbe settlement of this Eastern question.
The Trenton correspondent OF the New
ark EgenSng Meas says that Governor
Griggs very emph&tioally declares that he
is not responsible for the dilatory policy
pursued by the Legislature up to the
present time. Speaking Of the situation,
Governor Griggs said: 'While opposed
to unnecessary legislation and ready to
check it as far as possible, am likewise
opposed to having the legislators assem-
BILE week after week, exchange friendly
greetings and go home without doing any
thing except make long plea in favor
of this one or that one for Office. No
remarks Of mine could be taken to
suggest do-nothing policy" It is
thought, says the Paterson Press, that the
Legislature will soon get down to bust
ness in earnest, as the people fully recog-
nize the difference between redundant
and needless legislation, and neglecting
measures Of importance, and are begin
ming to prod the members with very
sharp stick.
