audience. but the Columbia parson
wriggled out by facetiously saying that
his Sister was playing for time with
her own address. and then introduced
her to the audience, VINO delivered an
address scholarly in its conception and
elegant in its delivery. The appllca-
ton OF the Greek story of Thesus and
the NIinatuar to the whiskey environ
ment, its effect, and results was told
in manner to win for her approving
comments from even those who have
not adorned the white ribbon
Friday afternoon the convention was
altogether for business and on Friday
evening Mrs. Fry, who has the distinc-
tion of being a Ph. D-Doctor Of Philo-
sophy, delivered a very able and
thoughtful address. This distinguished
visitor spoke principally in a converse
tional manner, striking telling blows
against the liquor evil, and exhibiting
a knowledge of the world and its affairs
that is very rare among women. There
is snothing of school essay oratory about
her speeches, but she is an encyclo-
pedia of practical information who
knows how to apply and place it effec-
lively.
Saturday evening was for the chill
dren, An excellent, program was car
ried out so well that those who had
charge OF the training of these little
ones have every reason to feel proud.
The singing was very sweet and espec-
tally were the solos of Ida Bradham
and Pauline Wilson.
In the medal contest Master Grady
Bowman is the distinguished winner.
In all the churches temperance SER
mons were preached Sunday morning.
Sunday night, before a large audience,
Mrs. Fry delivered another address IN
which she handled statistics like a
government department chief clerk.
Her address was literary treat as
we'll as an instructive lesson. -
---SaLI.>s. Outz read resolutions OF the
convention, thanking the people OF
Manning for the courtesies extended
to them, the clergy land thepress.
Mrs. Joseph Sprott, the president OF
the local union, is very much gratihec
for the kindness shown the guests, the
nice audiences which greeted them,
and hopes their presence here will
stimulate the cause of temperance.
On Friday evening after Mrs. Fry's
address, President Haynes had passed
around the pledge of the organization
to be signed, but before doing so she
read the pledge and stated that she
had been told that there are some who
wear the white ribbon who do not
stand by the pledge, so far as it relates
to the ''sale and traffic" This remark
caused many to look askance at each
other, and to recall Shakespere's,
80. how are they wrapped il with
Infamies
That from their own misdeeds ask
ance their eyes,
We are glad to have had the oppor
tunity TO attend some of the sessions OF
this convention, the contact with these
good and noble women amply repay
US for their coming, and we hope that
they will come again.
