Women's Association, the one side being those
who desired Mrs W. H Trafton 10 be reelected,
and the other fusion party in favor Of
Mrs x Wilson. The latter made up of those
primarily for Mrs Wilson and those who wished
Mrs. Harriet Irwin for their presiding officer but
could not persuade her TO accept. Mrs. Irwin de-
cIned principally because she felt that Mrs Trait
on ought TO hold office another year
For some time feeling has been strong in the
matter. and the members say that there has been
much wirepulling ever a political party in

the electloneerng was scandalous. and considered
that 2 lot Of underhand work had gone on.
Little knots Of women gathered in secluded hooks
and discussed the situation with eagerness and an
air of mystery, and IT required many blows Of the

10 take their seats and proceed to business.
The first gun was fired when. the committee

the chairman, Mrs. Chauncey V. Crepo the presi-

INFLUENCE OF THE HONE.
TO MOTHERS ON THEIR POWER
FOR GOOD.

LAS look out on the great unsettled problems
of our country. I feel that the home has in It the
solution Of them ALL said the Rev. Anson Phelps
Stokes jr, recently, the Mothers Club of New
Haven. Conn Take the great questions that
have before us-the temperance problem. for in
stance. We have tried 10 get at II through legisa
ton and through temperance societies. but with
little effect but If get hold OF the youth OF the
country and instil into their minds the absolute
necessity OF being temperate and moderate in all
things, then reach the root of the whole matter
Take the great problem of citizenship the need of
purity in public life. We have taken II up IN
way another the platform. and with some
success but with little permanent good. The only
way is get the homes and 10 teach the young
people Of the country that they hold responsible
And it is that all great problems must be
solved; If we reach the homes, reach them.
Now ii seems TO me, looking the educa-
tonal field to-day, that appreciating more
than have in the past the need of getting
at the young, but we not appreciatng enough
the need Of getting at the young through their
homes. We have kindergartens and they are good
things. We have Sunday schools, and they are
through clubs of one kind another, and they are
all good things; but nothing is fundamental
getting at the child through the home.
This is the lesson l. Young man
bring you to-day-that there is nothing in this
world so potential for good the Christian home
If the homes of the country will be kept pure and
high and clean, the whole life of the country will
be pure and high and clean too No work OF the

SING A SONG.

In spite OF the doubt If you'll hght II out,
And show heart that is brave ana stout
II vou'l laugh at the jeers and refuse the tears'
You'll force the ever reluctant cheers
That the world denies when coward cries.
To give to the who bravely tries,
And you'll win success with a little song
If you'll sing the song as you go along!
If you'll sing a song you plod along,
You'll find that the busy rushing throns
Will catch the strain of the glad refrain;
That the sun will follow the binding rain;
That the clouds will fly from the blackened SKYE
That the stars will come out by and by.
And you'll make friends. till hope descends
From where the placid rainbow bends
And all because of a little song
II you'll sing the song you pod along!
If you'll sing song you trudge along
You'll see that the singing Will make you strong
And the heavy load and the rugged road
And the sting and the stripe of the tortuous goad
Will soar with the note that you set af1oat;
That the beam will change to a trif1ing mote;
That the world is bad when YOU are sad,
And bright and beautiful when glad.
That all you need is a little song
II you'll sing the song you trudge along!
