AT our last regular meeting Mrs.
Matilda Thew was present with us
for the last time, before her de-
parture for an extended visit in
the west. Mother Thew led in
prayer and followed with n very
interesting talk in which she paid
a glowing tribute to. the Woman $
Christian Temperance Union. She
told how few years ago she did
not love the White Ribbon, but
since becoming n member she had
learned to love the emblem of pur-
.ity. The members responded in
short talks showing their love and
appreciation of Mother Thew and
the good and noble work she is
accomplishing. As she keeps no
record Of visits or flowers, we
cannot tell the amount Of her
work.
