She referred to the things in the way
of temperance progress and named among
them prejudice and indifference. She
recited poem entitled "Sail on' based
upon the discouragements which con.
fronted Columbus. In the face OF sick.

till new world was discovered. She
urged the workers to sail on until the

She is brilliant speaker and those
who were present enjoyed a rare treat.
By request she recited Greed of the beIp'
which elected most favorable coment.
We hope she will come again.
