Miss Amanda Abbott, at the Friends
ri citing. house last Sunday afternoon,
while conducting the W. 9. T. . meet
ing, said that dressing in fine apparel to
attend temperance meeting and making
prayers there was not all the work re-
quifed for the reformation of the fallen
spd upbuilding of Gods kingdom. We
must go, she said, out into the lanes and
byways, out into the slums and lifs from
the gutter the debased slaves to strong
drink, speak to them kindly and persuade
them to come to our meetings. We want
them with US, and wish l could see all
of them here to-day.
/ Joel Borton said it was the first meet
lug of the w. G. T. U. he had attended.
He believed more education was needed
all along the line of temperance work.
He was glad to see present the ministers
of the different churches, and assured
one and all, of whatever denomination,
that they would be welcome to all tho
meetings in that house.
Rev. j. T. Craig sroke next, and in
commenting upon poem read during
the exercises. entitled "The Devil" said
in effect that the devil, who is charged
with all the evil, sometimes gets more
than his dues. We charge to him sins
for which we may be the direct cause,
| We sometimes ask God for blessings
when we have the power to obtain then
ourselves, if we will but make the neces
sary effort
This great work oil. reformation re
quires head men, heart men aud hee
men. Men ofbrains. intellect and edu
cation to plan the campaign. Heart mel
| men of sympathy and emotional feel
| ings that will soften the callous, bardene
heart of the lowest outcast and brin
him back to a life of sobriety and godll
ness. And then, too, we want heel me
men and women to busy I'll emselves i
| spreading temperance education every
where; men and women who are neve
weary of the work in which they ar
engaged.

tions to which the young men al 10 expose

existing in other parts of the country.
Interesting papers were read by Mis-
Anna BradWay and Miss Jessie Colsou
and recitations were rendered by Mis-
Sallie Peterson, Miss Ellen Coles an,
Miss Salle Buzby.
By way of reply to Miss Abbott's re
marks, the Salvation Army are the onl
Christian workers as a body who see
abroad for the ALLEN and extend the han
of friendship and Christian love. Tn
Army is doing a great work for tn
reformation of unfortunates and direetin,
their steps toward the doors of GU
