Hutch inson made the report concerning pris- on and jail work, of which she was SUI perintendent.
 In the report of the president she said: Mrs. Lathrop in 1888 said, It is often said that W. c. T. U. does not join the higherer circles, butstrikes the great middle class Very well; per haps it is true that neither the foam nor dregs of society are with this army which is organized to pity the one ana help the other: but do not forget that twice the white ribbon has presided al the White house: that 1t sits at tht tables of senators and walks every. where in pretty good society.
 Your speaker would add, if we are true, a greater honor awaits us, name. ly, to sit at the marriage supper of the Lamb, where the master has promised to gird Himself and serve us. Again Mrs. Lathrop remarks, there has never been such an array of genius brought together in any one work. I know something of woman's organizations educational, benevolent and religious but challenge them all to match tht unity, method, and intellectual force which has revolutionized the nations thinking in fifteen years, and is on tht way to the worlds thinking. Leaders orators, authors, poets, educators preachers, physicians lawyers, artists and then between two and three hun dren thousand Of such rank and fil as keeps the beacon light glowing iron the Atlantic to the Pacific and from tn blue lakes of Michigan to the sum. waters of the gulf. The glory belong to God who has called and anointet such multitude The w. c. T. U. ha made tremendous strides since 1888, ant is still at it, and always at 1t. So d not let us think Of the work as con fined to the bounds of a single uniol or state; but as being not only nation wide but worldwide, and do not b discouraged if we in our little corne cannot do all we would, but putting self on the altar forgetting everythin but the great need, and the shortnes of the time to do the work, press on t victory in the name of Him who neye lost a battle and never will.
