An Interesting Paper on the Life OF
Mary Clement Leavitt

At the last meeting of the W. c. T. U. a

said
Mary Clement Leavitt was a woman OF

this great love that prompted her to ac-

tour of the world In behalf Of temperance.
Without money at one end of the line and
no invitation at the other, 1t was only
through the grace of God that she was
able to do this. She accepted the condi.
tions with no air of sacrifice, but as quiet
ly as she would have responded to lead a
Gospel meeting. She was president Of the
w. c. T. Y. In Boston, and national or
ganizer for several years.
I'm 1883 she started on her mission for

"She visited Japan, China and India, then
went to Ceylon and Madagascar After
leaving South Africa she visited England
and spoke In all the leading cities and
