One of the things which has greatly inn
pressed me in the w. G. T. L. Ia its power
OF engaging and holding workers. This
is no chance occurrence but is founded on
its perhaps, unconscious recognition OF law
which governs the formation and growth
of societies, as much as of anylhing else.
Mormonism could never have become
the power 1t hng, Ind it not so worked on
the religious aud sclf.sacrAcing attri-
butes of woman'a nature thai abe re-
joiees 10 her own degradation If she could
thus enhance the glory OF those she loved,
and place within the pale of salvation,
souls waiting to enter the clay Baskets,
then finally in the New Jerusalem receive
the reward of her toll and self abnega-
ton. Enormous evil as II is, ii has kept
its power mainly through those it has
most injured, by recognizing and acting
upon the law of tenderness and self devo
ton which governs woman's being
Tie W. G. T. u. moves onward, max
ing and holding workers because II recog
nizcs the law that woman's deepest Joy
| is elf.eonsecralion, and that all christian
womanhood, Discerning Chrlst's King
dom TO be no mystic dream but an assured
fact, longs to be actively engaged in the
battle which shall end In the victory of
Him whom they serve.
In this work they find opportunity TO
lift high His standard and to 80 unite their
efforts as to feel the help and joy OF com
radcship and realize that their cup OF cold
water is not in vain. II also recognizes
the truth that IN the depths of every
womanly nature there is an instructive
shrinking from evil, and a desire for good,
which the trnil Of the serpent has not en-
tireIy oblilera,ed, and that glorlled and
sancticd by Divine Love, womanhood
becomes the broadest channel TO convey
Chrst's lie 10 humanity.
Emerson has said somewhere that the
inevitabilitics are always sapping the foun-
dalton of every institution built upon n
wrong; mud woman's tenderness and de-
yotion receiving the permeaion OF the
love OF Christ, became The most fitting
inert ability TINT should sap the iounda-
ton Of an institution raised upon 80 gigan-
tic wrong AS the Liquor Traffic.

many of them, robbed of needed comfort,
have returned 10 us new men with no de-
sire for drink, and are meeting with sue
cess in business, and we are glad TO take
them by the hand and wish them God
speed as we see the great change manifest
in their homes.

treatment, it Is ours to help others to en-.
Joy this same blessing; il is ours TO add
our mite toward sending unfortunates.
