The Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts, Phi. D., Of the
reform bureau in this city, spoke on the

81 bring you the greeting Of the reform
bureau, the little brother or the child OF
the Women's Christian Temperance Union,

sidered too near of kin to propose marriage

your woman function by securing woman
suffrage
The church of the twentieth century will

Of one of the regular weekly meetings In
every month to a Christian reform fedora

CARNATIONS in the city or village shall be
invited, not as visitors, but as equal par
Elephants.
II hope to see erected in Washington,
near the national Capitol, a union reform
building in which the offices of the resident
officers of the w. c. T.U., the reform bureau,
the Anti-Saloon League. the National Tenn
perance Society. the Endeavorers and other
Christian committees, and all other Chris
tian reform societies, shall be ranged
around a central conference hall, like the
lecture room in a modern Sunday school
building, all cooperating in a comprehen-
sive plan to secure righteous legislation,
and at the same time promote reform edu-
cation throughout the whole continent,
Canada and the United States uniting to
uplift the lower Spanish civilization and
make the new world the new earth
wherein dwelleth righteousness"

1.-THE Foundation Being Remodeled" was
the title of a report made by Mrs Booker
t. ashington of Tuskegee Ala. She said,
in part:

The southern white man wants to see the
southern black man educated, and there

supported by, not only white friends, north
and south. but by the negro himself, who
in too many cases has come to regard work

for the introduction, as far as possible, of
the industries into the public schools of
the states, and, more than all, into the
schools situated in the country districts. In
proportion as the race receives substantial
industrial training, in proportion will it's
