MRS E. r. WHEELER, President,

| MRS. ADA FARNHAM. Treasurer
AT the last regular meeting of
the w. G. T. U. Mrs. f. +.
Wheeler was elected president.
Mrs. Burgan resigned as her work
as State superintendent Of lumber
camps takes much time and
strength. 1t was also decided to
meet evenings during the cold
= weather. Nov. 20 the Union will
meet with Mrs. Burgan. The
canteen catechism used at the last
meeting was very interesting and
instructive, other helpful literature
will be on hand and used as the
officers dictate.
\ few words of encouragement
may be helpful here. The W. c..
II. y. is known to be the largest
organization of women IN the
world. Our work is so planned
that any woman of prominence
can be found easily. The officers
of the Worlds w. G. r. L. are
chosen from several counties. Our
national officers are known through
out America by thousands Of. peo-
pie. The name of Anna Gordon,
Clara Parish and other faithful
; workers are becoming familiar in
many societies and homes Now
and then a member of a local
Union, 50 far below the national
offices as to have State, district,
county and local officers between
them, is of so puc h Importance
that she becomes ii factor in a
political campaign. 1 refer to
Mrs. Barre of Nebraska. This as
an object lesson shows the force of
our organization. If God be for
us who can be against us!
, | have also heard it remarked
that when such stories as Malcolm
Kirk, Rev. Sheldon's prohibition
:. serial, was used by local papers
there was encouragement for the
small towns to realize the strength
of one man in the cause for God
and home and right. So.
When items in the local news
:, column cause people to use thei,
: bibles that may be counted as an
F. encouragement. A single verse OF
t scripture has been the means OF
: saving many souls. John 3.16 is
!: often pointed out as being suf-
; ticient gospel for the salvation of {;
:: world. 1t is not what we hear but
4 what we heed. We are too apt tc
forget that Jesus is always the
same living older brother, always
: ready to help all who call up or
him in faith.
TO those who believe the saloon
o is the curse of our nation the in.
creased number of votes cast fol
prohibition will be means of en-
couragement that will last. The
election returns show a larger vote
than ever before. In many places
the numbers are more than double
the vote of 1895, and few if an,
towns report smaller vote.
