for the time when work drags or diff
culties loom darkly in the way.
Mrs. Bourne writes that Miss Willard
as usual, is "the magnet" that among
the welcome sddresses, that of Mrs.
Lake, of the Catholic Women's Temper
anoe Union, was very fine; that they are
enjoying beautiful weather, and that the
music hall is much like the one in Balti

The st. Louis Globe Democrat, in an
editorial in which it deprecates the
Unions alliance with politics, says: "The
thing OF main importance is the story of
the progress of temperance during nearly
quarter of a century that the Uai N has
been in existence, and much is due to the
W. G T. U. with its sincere, potent
pleading for whatsoever touches life with
upward impulses" You see R-pnh,i
can daily can realize that the We T.
Is power in the land, and doubt nor,
our politics only went as far as ''tha
sympathy plank" we would have hh
still more exalted estimate. But, thank
God, we see with clearer vision, and
believe that the stamping out process of
the liquor traffic is not only fine theory,
but will be a certainty when Christianity
realizes its mission is not to restrict, but
to destroy the works of the devil.
As your new corresponding secretary
utterly untried in this work, taking the
place of loved and tried worker, whose
efficiency and unselish labors have large
ly made the W. G. T. U of New Jersey
what it is, l come to you with greetings
and pleadings: greetings and congratu-
latioas that 1--WE belong" and that our
little can SO aid the temperance cause
that soon the day of redemption will
draw nigh; pleadings for your prayers
| that in this new position l may serve
| faithfully God, the homes of New Jersey,
the women who gave me the position,
the land which love devotedly, though
| l am not ''citizan."
l would like to be in touch with each
| County Executive, with each Local
Union. l would like to know any cases
where l can render service, and would
like to have word sent me at once when
new Union is organized, and a list of its
| officers. Starting on new year of
endeavor let us be systematic, prompt,
| tireless. Systematic in recording our
little doiugs in our work, rememb ering
that the muckles of the State come from
the mickles of the Local Unions. Prompt
in doing the work of any department
intrusted to us, prompt in replying to
| letters in relation to work, prompt in FILL
ing out blanks, sending messages and
notices, prompt in attendance at meet
ings, for each one counts. Your presence,
your smiles, your enthusiasm are needed
there to hep some one, as theirs is needed
to help you. Tireless! The enemy does
not the His attacks are as vicious, as
yiruleRt as ever. Mothers who, sad.
eyed, watch from right to dawn, for
wandering sobs; weeping wives, whose
chosen earthly helpers are worse than
broken reeds; baby voices that wall
piteously because of neglected and suffer-
ing; erring daughters whose taste of
pleasure has become bitter as the apples
of Sodom; sorrow, want, pain - such
things as these have not lesseped or dis
appeared, so for us there is no place to
tire or faint.
God help each one of lis to thoroughly
rouse to our duty, and do that of each
passing moment as unto Him.
| Yours to command.
