less attention. The influence of the
w. G. T. U. is acknowledged turnout |
the world. ~
Faithful work has been done MAX
ing sentiment in favor of an anti-po-
lygamy amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States.
The w. CT u. is to-day, and, if
true to it's heritage, will ever he ar
rayed against all forms of impurity
and legalized vice. We painfully rec
ognize that there are some evils that
cannot be annihilated in this day and
generation, but we evermore declare
that these evils if they exist shall do
SO in opposition to law. rather than
by sanction of law. The record of the
attempt made two years ago by the:
mayor of Minneapolis to introduce a
system Of regulated vice, should be a
warning to others not to try to do
! likewise.
Notwithstanding the great spectacle
of sin and misery which is ever visi-t
BILE to those who seek the worlds
amelioration, there is manifold testi-
mony that the religion of Christ is
making Its way. One, indication Of
! this is the multiplication of organiza-
tons and institutions for the purpose
of caring and providing for the I'M
fortunate, the defective and; the de-
pendent classes, in the best possible
help those, who are honestly needy
and poor to help themselves, without
suggesting to them that they are de-
pendent, is a still stronger manifesto
ton Of the love which is always Kind.
i The question, is liquor drinking
among women increasing? is hard to
answer. We surely hear more about
| drinking women than formerly per-
haps from the fact that the drinking
habit attracts more attention than it
did in the days when nearly every
one used liquor in one form or an
other.
Since. nothing can arrest the
progress of a true principle, on it's
| way to the heart Of Intelligent people
1t would be strange if we could not
declare, as We can, that the question
Of the equality Of women under the
gospel and under the law is gain
ing new ground and new adherents.
There is a, continually increasing num-
Der Of women who feel concerned in
regard to the legislation that affects
all the people, whether or not all
realize this to be so. There is a pro-
portionately large number of men
who acknowledge the justice of the
equality of the sexes in all of those
matters which pertain to the interests
dear to women's hearts, those inter-
ests which are connected with the
home, the church the school, the
StdIS SiIlu the. II. AS temperance
women we desire the right Of fran
chise because we believe we could,
thus armed, deal more effectually
with the liquor problem, and the fact
that the liquor element is always OPP
posed to woman's suffrage furnishes
ample proof that we are right in our
belief.
These are but few OF the encour-
aging prophecies of that better time
toward which Christian civilization is
leading.
