Miss wiIlard's Address.
 CONCLUDED.
 One poor peasant, in giving his account, said: II knew as they pushed me for- ward, l knew that many times I was standing on the soft body of a woman, but I could not help myself" It is said that at little distance. as there were no shrieks, for it was suffocation that killed most of the poor, downtrodden peasants, the moaning sound was like the deep tones of an aeolian; it was like what we think might be the cry of humanity, if only the spiritual ear were open to hear its pitt full strains, and as came in at the opening of this session, 1 stopped with dear Anna Gordon, and said: "Listen." A sweet, chirpy sound, mother with her children, siater talking to sister, the convention twittering to itself! And I thought: "Yes. those two sounds, the deep heart break of humanity at Moscow, and the tender, motherly tones of our blessed white-ribboners must come together in Gods chorus of redemption" and 1 said to myself, "This is the age that does not forever keep talking about coming to Christ as the Savior, but talks about got'sg aoith Christ out to the suffering and forgotten, and tempted and destroyed" and then 1 said to myself, "Oh, let us take the pierced hand; let us follow the white figure of the ages; let us all come into line with Him, going with Christ, and by His grace may it truly be said of us, when we have worked our little work and passed away, "These are they who have heard the cry of the world" It is only the spiritual ear that can hear that cry. can wish for myself, or for you, nothing more heavenly than that, forget ting the dissonant noises which are round about us, we might come up to the level where we can hear the cry of the world and help to hush it into peace, as moth- CT soothes the baby on her breast.
 We cannot account for the persistent misrepresentation, extending now over a period of years, relative to the health of our leader, except that in the case of some at least, who set going the untrue para graphs with which we have become fa- miliar, "the wish is father to the thought" The liquor traffic, in law and politics, is no doubt responsible, and nothing would | suit those who are engaged in it better | than to have every white-ribbon woman lay down her weapon of warfare for the | last time; and this state of feeling must | inevitably be intensified when directed toward the president of the society. h. deed, we can no longer doubt the unfriend- | ly animus of many statements that have | been set afioat, and once started, have been borne along unwittingly by news papers really friendly to us and the cause Therefore, as we have had occasion to do before, we once more reiterate the caution to all temperance people not to believe anything they read that Is of a disceurag- ing nature in relation to Miss Willard's health. Few women do as good days work as she does now, and has done in all the years that these reports have been circulated. One of her officers said of her, "If she makes us work like this when she is i'll, what would she do if she were quite well?" Dr. Green, who is one of the finest experts in the country, says that Miss Willard is steadily improving in every particular, but the difficulty in thu throat makes it wiser for her to re- frain from public speaking for some msnths to come. This is the case in a nutshell, and we hope our statement may oh$et any number of paragraphs from I'd dlr friends, the enemy"
