WHITE RIBBON CALL
For National Convention to Be Held
in Washington.

Chicago. Nov. 13.-NIrs. L. NJ N Stew
ems, president and Mrs. S. NJ d. Fry,
corresponding secretary, have issued the
following call for the national conven-
ton OF the Woman's Christian Temper
The National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union is hereby officially
called to meet in it's twenty seventh an
nua1 convention at Washington, d. c.,
November 30. to continue in session I'M
til December s.
Last year we were the guests of the
far western state of Washington, sug-
gestive of the fact that our organization
had in the first % years of existence
spread into every state and territory in
the Union and swept across the great
waters into almost every civilized coun-
try in the world This year we are to be
entertained in Washington, D. c., the
central point of government power in
our great republic and thus typical Of
the solidarity achieved by our organiza-
ton and its consequent power for good
if rightly directed. It is significant that
Washington will mark the first mile
stone in our second quarter of a cen
fury.
The time, as well as the place of our
meeting is significant. 1t is the month
of presidential election and the week
of the opening of the United States cen
greSs, in both of which we have intense
interest, but in the words of Miss Will
lard's convention call for 1896, I'VE shall
meet not as a political party, but as
those to whom politics seems q, sacred
duty; not as financiers and yet as those
profoundly interested in finance, not as
statesmen, but we trust as states Wo-
men-the women of a great nation, bap-
/ tised with mighty earnestness endued
with clear vision that enabled US TO
see that whatever else the nation and
individuals constituting that nation may
need, the primal note is applied right
eousness.''
Already it is known that a large num-
Der of states have made a net gain of
500 or more members during the past
year. The activity of state officials or
ganizers and other workers has never
been surpassed, and never have the
hearts Of the white ribbon women been
more closely knit together, nor more
fully set to do good. They have learned
to magnify not the size of the giants or
the lions by the way. but the greatness
and the goodness of the Father of us all.
We bespeak universal observance OF
the day of prayer, Friday, November go,
to the end that we may have a pillar of
cloud by day and a pillar of fire by
night, not only at the convention, but
during the entire year.
