Men were given their walking papers
by the Women g National Association
Of the Universalist Church at it's meet
ing this morning. Heretofore men have
been allowed membership in the organ
ization on the payment Of dues d9es-$ s. ~ ;
to become Hpatron. This morning
the constitution was SO changed as to
eliminate all masculine membership.
"What's to become Of the men who
have already paid for their member

from place where he had been com.
pletely hidden behind the sea of ladies'
millinery. r. a5
"The men failed to respond to the
call, - was the only comment his remark
brought from the president.
Madam President. may q man be
allowed the floor without special con-
sent of the convention9o inquired an
other forlorn man who desired mo-

! The Presidents Address.
/ The address Of Mrs. leila E. Harris,
president, occupied some time and was
received with interest. She made a
strong plea for greater religious strength
in the churches. She asserted there is
vital need Of religious fervor in the
hearts Of the church women Of today.
Chief among the influences that tend
to deaden the spiritual sensibilities, to
blind the conscience and enslave the
people. is the despotic worldliness in
which SO many are living. Never was
there q people on earth SO environed
and pressed by the things Of this world
patience, vehemence and absorption
She congratulated the organization in
having secured missionary to Japan
during the past year, Miss Agnes NJ
Hathaway, a teacher in Lombard col
lege, Galesburg. Ill. She asked fol
sacrifice on the part Of the ladies tt
support missionary work equal to thai
ing her task in foreign fields. :
The association adopted an amend
ment to it's articles this morning pre-
sented by Mrs. M. D. Shutter of Mime
apolis, changing the organization !
: name from the Woman g Centenary as
, ISOLATION, to the Women s Nationa
