Not quite month has elapsed since
the State convention and wa again look
out upon the work of another year, we
trust with a broadened vision which
shall mean to us as an organization,
advancement along all the lines of our
work. The convention was very
pleasant one, and the people of Milton
seemed to take pleasure in the hos
pitality which they freely extended to
US.
A noticeable fact at the convention
was that all the work done during the
year had not heen reported to the Union
Signal reporter, and State press super
intendent to whom news has become as
desirable as to professional journalists.
Philanthropic work the past year out
side Of W. Q. I. U. channels enlisted
the symrathies of the members of our
unions. SO money was sent in several
instances land there could have been
no better investment of IT., TO the
| famine sufferers Of India. One union
last winter, and in DUNG so followed
the plan in such extremities III the
Flower Mission Department.
Our evangelistic superintendent, Mrs.
| r. II. Matlack, whose services during
the convention as leader Of the devo.
tional meetings were much appreciated.
considers the Lewes union, the banner
union of her department in the State,
from the fact that devotional meeting
| was held each week of the year without
even one omission during the summer.
The recommendation of one OF the
resolutions adopted by the convention,
which was probably the suggestion OF
Mrs. Mary Smithers, W. O. 7. U.
superintendent Of work in almshouses
THAT good woman be made mem
her of the Board of Trustees of the
Poor''-is worthy of legislative sup.
port. Women are better qualified thar
men to look after the comfort OF women
in these institutions, as surely as it Is
their mission Ito make the whole world
homelike."

tion are those of last year, with the fol
lowing exceptions; Superintendent o.
