BY A WHINE RIRBONER.

To realize the standing the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union
has gained in the few years OF it's
life one needs to compare conditions
as they exist now with existing con-
lditions ten or twelve years ago-a
short time in which to- accomplish
amy great results, and yet great re-
suits have been accomplished In those
brief years. The little leaven has
worked SO quietly and, like the
unseen forces of nature, so effectual-
i ly. In my years of itinerary as a
state president, ! used to meet with
strong opposition from many of the
lministers--not all of them, nor any
large per cent of them, but from
some of them. They feared that wo-
men would lose interest in church
work; they feared ENHANCEMENT with
la radical party. | do not find those
fears possessing the minds OF the
|clergy now. That bogy has been laid

In their own church work. Recently,
at a meeting held during a local no.
aicense campaign, spoke, at the
close OF the meeting. few words
especially to the women present and
announced a subsequent meeting for
Organization. Immediately the Luth-
eran minister spoke and urged the
women to attend the meeting, saying,
II hope every member of my church
will Join the w. c. II. IT," 1t is un-
necessary to say what those words
meant for the organization.--Lette

/ have sometimes thought the Wo-

lbe the most powerful active agency
which exists In this country to keep
