the forenoon, be read. Mrs Stevens
said 1t would be produced later. Mrs
Carse then stepped to the front and
read the report of the Temple trustees.
Il was as follows:
MRS. CARsE's REPORT.
After giving the history Of the movement
which resulted In the building of the
Temple. and replying to the criticisms made
about her, Mrs. Carse continued as follows:
From the above facts it will be seen We
all Endorsed the bonds and they were pur-
chased largely by temperance people OF very
limited means. In the statement lately
printed and sent out by the national officers
that 'It ia now supposed that most OF the
bonds are held by capitalists, is entirely
q mistake. There Is not over $4,000 worth
Of them held by persons Of means. Scores Of
poor widows on the list of bondhosders.
aud a very large percentage OF minister's,
who put in their little savings of years. Why
did they purchase them? Because the great
organization of the Cody Womans Christian
Temperance union were behind them They
did not know Mrs. Carse. but they knew the
great W. c. T. L. that stood for righteousness
as we'll temperance, and they felt their
money was safe. A white r1bboner from Min
nesota writes that she is over 10 years Old
without children to care for her, that unless
the 81 900 she put in the Temple bonds Is
forthcoming the poor house is al that is left
TO her. Two maiden sisters in the state Of
Massachusetts, advanced in years, one a
! cripple reduced to the last extremity, pleads
for the money. $780, invested In the bonds
And so II is with scores and scores of others
The following extract Is taken from letter
just received from minister in Illinois:
After stating that 81 900 invested in the bonds
was a little patrim9ny left his wife by her
father he says, 1t our confidence in the
union that decided us TO invest in the bonds.

interest which we expected would have been
a great help during the year, but we VIII
gladly surrender It II only the principal were
sure. II viii embarrass US not little to
lose that. We hold the w. @. I. U. morally
responsible for the bonds. How could We
do otherwise? That organization cannot
afford 20 repudtate their obligations. pre-
dict for 1t decline in power and usefulness
should the act OF reputation prevail"
WHAT THE WORLD SAYS.
Reputation. which our ministerial brothes
uses is an ugly word. We do not like TO
hear H. but repudiators is what the world will
cali us unless the w. c. r. U. pay off the
Temple trust bonds. Others write In the
same manner as the above, and use this very
amount OF talk about God and home and na-
tive land" will make the world forget It.
No prayers and songs, however loud and long,
will make the world consider us honest unless
we Day for the bonds.
Women of the White Ribbon, can you 90
less than vote at this convention TO stand oy

you vote otherwise you stand for reputation
IL you do this you are dishOnOring the mem
DRY Of Frances K. Willard. but above all, you
are dishonoring the God whom you profess
to serve. Can you face public odium II you

Why DO / intimate that there is any danger
OF this convention being guilty OF such deed
Because on July /, when | YVES East working
night and day securing subscriptions from
bondholders without a single inomaiion TO
me the national officers OF the W. Q. T. U.
sent out call for an executive committee
meeting at Chicago, July lb, on account OF
the critical condition Of Temple affairs.
] was not apprised Of the meeting until
arrived in Chicago July O. then PLEADED that
N might be postponed until the national con
vertion, as such q gathering at this time was
SUICIDAL TO THE TEMPLE
interests. and would stop the inflow OF money.
/ knew It was a foregone conclusion II the
meeting was held the majority Of the execu-
tive committee would vote with tbs general
officers. In the past. had found. with a ieg
noble exceptions, that the greatest hindrance
20 the success OF the Temple was in the
presidents to having money sent by their
unions to the Femple: their theory being
that the money would have gone for state
work II IL had not been sent 10 the Temple.
This Is a very general but erroneous theory
70 hold. The facts are, the unions that have
given most literally 70 the Temple are the
oues that have done the most Tor local AMI
state work The same holds true II the
church The churches that give most literally
10 home and foreign Missions are more deep
" alive 10 the needs OF their own home work.

The report then gives "the excuses offered
nv the national officers for calling the meet

IL on the interests Of the Temple" adding:
Only one short month Of active work had
been given towards securing the funds when
the general officers met and decided that as
Inoaey had lot come in rapidly as they
expected they would call an executive meet
