Address on peace" in Evening by Mrs. K.
[. Stevenson Of Massachusetts.

The second day of the convention
was ushered in by the beautiful June
sunshine. ana brought cheer and joy
to White Ribbon hearts. The morning
devotional meeting was conducted by
Mrs. Ellen Sherman Of Monmouth.
The convention was opened by sing
ing the Kennebcc county song. Prayer
was offered by Mrs. Mary Marsh of
Watcrville.
The reports of department work We're
continued through the morning. The
work being done in Watervile among
the young women was reported by Mrs.
Marsh, and contained excellent Sug-
geetions. The plan is to unite the tenn
perance work with affiliated work in
other societies, thus making no extra
meetings and requiring no extra OH
GERS, which, where there are so many
organizations is q desirable thing. The
Trinity Club Of Watervile, is Il good
example Of what may be done, when
no separate organization is possible.
Excellent reports We're given on
