suggestions in part areas follows:
May we be united, working
shoulder to shoulder for God and
home and every land. Always having
charity for one another, knowing none
are perfe ct and all of us ara apt to
make mistakes. In hCnor prefering
one another. May we always work
for the cause losing sight of ourselves
aud working for the Glory of God.
May the one object of our lives be
to do good unto others-to save souls.
This should be the key note of all our
department work. Using educational
aud preventive methods rather than
reformatory, believing them to be
more effective.
May we have the spirit of the poet,
who said
" If can stop one heart from breaking
shall not live in vain;
II | can ease one life the aching,
Or soothe one pain.
Or help one fsintlng rob II into its
nest again,
shall not live in vain. D."
OF great Importance are Y aud L.
I. l.. branches to establish the young
people and children in the principles
Of temperance and purity. l believe
we have the right leaders and may
We as a W. @. 7. U. take an interest

taries, Mrs. Savage and Mrs. Cow
drey.
