FRANCES WILLARD MEMORIAL.
Contributions Desired to Lfquidate the
Debt on "The Temple" at Chicago.

In the business centre of Chicago stands a
beautiful Office building, known as the
Temple, where are located the headqus rters
of the National womans Christian Temper
ance Union and the Woman's Temperance
Publishing Association. 1t also contains many
business offices from the rental of which it
is hoped to derive a revenue for carrying on
the work of the union when the indebted
ness OF the building shall have been can
celled. In Willard hall, also in the Temple,
gospel meetings are held daily from IL to l
o'clock. Thus the influence Of these meetings
has been continuous and far reaching for
six years. There is some apprehension that
this beautiful building may go out of the
hands of the W. q. 4. u. unless sufficient
amount can be soon raised to pay OF the
Temple trust bonds Of 100000. Nearly two
thirds Of this has been reached by pledges
and IL is earnestly desired that the entire
sum be secured by July l, 1898. 1t was Miss
Willard's intention to raise this amount her
self, and her last appeal was for this purpose
Her friends feel that they must make overy
