The w. G. T.>U. met Thursday
with Mrs. Matte Farnham, twelve
ladies present. Mrs. Cakes who
has been instrumental in starting
the Sunday school at the BRICK
yard joined the Union and will en-
phasize temperance work in the
Sunday school with the help of the
w. G. T. U.
The National superintendent of
Sunday school work is Mime
sofa woman (Mrs. Stella B. Irvine,
St. Paul. who has made that de-
partment grand success. Since
God took her dear little one to
Himself she has given all her time
to the work, employing one or two
secretaries to help. She is loved
and appreciated by all who know
her, fine speaker and executive
officer. AS leader in Sunday
school rallies she is equalled by
very few. We are hoping to have
her with us at some future date
and hope the children who have
signed her pledge cards may all
meet her.
Miss Kohrt was appointed as
sistant superintendent of literature
and a good supply of reading mat
ter was put into her hands for dis
tribution. With our forty lines
of work we can supply all willing
hands with work for the master.
We are taking up the course of
study prepared by the State and
find it very helpful. By special
request several musical selections
will be given at our next meeting.
The credit system has been
adopted and each captain is figur.
ing to have her opponent give a
free lunch to the winning side. At
present the outlook is favorable to
double our number in short time.
You are none the less welcome be-
cause you cannot attend every
meeting or do not wish to take an
active part, give your name on the
right side, your influence will help
another. Refreshments were
served. The meeting adjourned
to meet in two weeks with, Mrs.
Woodcock but she will not be at
home and the meeting will be held
at Mrs. Burgan's.
A pleasant surprise has been
planned for our dear State presi-
dent, Mrs. Bessie L. Sewell, and
money raised to send her as dele
gate to the worlds convention at
Edinburg. She is the youngest
State president and is often play
fully called The baby" in
national conventions, but her
judgment, zeal and faithfulness is
remarkable. We pray for her
safe return and hope for many
years of her companionship.
Farewell meetings are being
held for those who leave to attend
the great meeting and plans made
to have as many as possible from
all lands take prominent parts.
l shall never forget the scene on
the platform the first night of the
national convention in Baltimore:
our sainted Miss Willard stood at
the front of the platform with her
beautiful golden hair and angelic
face, lit up with a semi-circle of
electric lights extending across the
stage and all around her the dele
gates from foreign lands. l
thought of the weary journeys and
many discouragements of our first
round-the-world missionaries who
had carried the white ribbon
gospel, and of the wonderful
growth of the W. G. T. U. The
World having been organized in
seventeen years bv women wa oro
