The report received at the quarterly meet
ing OF the District w. C. 7. U. indicated pros
porous condition OF oftheorganization. There
were never so many unions among the col
ored people, or so much interest manifestE
ed by them in the work OF the W. c. T. U.
as at present, under the superintendency
of Mrs. R. E. Lawson. The recent visit
and work OF Mrs. Lucy Thurman has, with
out doubt, a deep and lasting impression
upon her people. 1t is expected that
Loyal Temperance Legion will soon he or
ganized in Nineteenth Street Baptis It
Church, where there is now both w. and
Y Union.

success in every way. The reports were
cheering and inspiring and showed a large
