the greater part of the morning was

Miss Emma Worrell said "never had
Matthew Arnold's phrase morU RpUro-

tion than in the Sweetness and light
Of FranGes Wizards character. Inese
M qualities mado her tho most loved,
widely useful and deeply greeted OF
women. They made her SO altogether
agreeable, and when one has attained
Bgreeablencss she has won the touch
stone of power. Her personal charm
playing over tho solid bed rock of her
knowledge, ability anu conscience gave
those currency ana power in tine world,
In her youth her mother SAID to her !:
Let us be conservative. but not 10

progressive, but not to such an extent

md on this rule was developed the
daughters character, for she had learn
ingwithout pedantry. zeal without rash
ness, brRvHry without recklessness. res
ligion without cant, liberality without
liconse, firmueas without stubbornnass,
knowledge of her own power without
self righteousness or pride.
Aftsr tho Temperance Crusade of
1874, when public feeling was relaxing
from its tension, and interest in tenn
perance was likely to decline evon mellow
it's normal level there was an anxiety
felt to keep alive the temperance spirit
here by holding meetings, Aaron NJ.
Powell, the untIring temperance worker,

strength into Our work. lie answered,
Tbere arc few good women speakers
on temperance, but there is a young
woman In Illinois who gives promise of
being good lecturer, and has gone
into the temperance work from purely
conscientious motiyeH" How different
then from TO day when many women
can speak well. but as Miss Willard
said of the time when the W. q. i. Y.
wac formed, Every few could mako a

Her first appearance in Wilmington
was under the auspices of MIR. Moody,
when sho aroused much interest in
Sunday school work. She grew IN
power and eloguence as she hroadened
and deepensd in thought, Her liberality
OF mind and Htcrlirg honesty of purpose
are strikingly shown in her latter to
Mrs. Moody when she decided TO dis
continue her evangelistic lnborH with
MIR. MoUdy, a work that was dear to
her, and 10 which she "felt called from
the very depths of her spirit" but she
said, "No one is more than half him
self vino docs not work in accordnnco
with his highest convictions. All Of
my life | have been devoted to the nd
Vancement of women in education and
opportunity and to breaking down the
barriers of nrejudics that keep them
silent, and deprive them Of the ballot
for the protection OF their homes anc
children. Mr. Moody did not look or
these things as she did, and he also
held that she should not speak frou
the same platform with Mrs. Liver
more, because the latter had not evan
gelistic views To this Miss Willard
rerlied: 81 cannot judge how the hearts

Convictions to turn Nude from it.
Though it severed their connection tn
letter Ia filled with the kindest appre
citation of Mr.. Moody.
In an estimate of Miss Willard
character the value of haredity must b
taken into account. When 80 yaar
ago a married couple with three chill
dren give up the home they had mad
together 10 take up residence in col
lege town that they may have the ad
vantage of five years college cours
together, il signifies valuable inheri
tancs for their children. Her mother
advice was "Enter every door, NJ
child" and Frances added, " errep
every offer that means wider outloo
from a higher poiut of observation. "
