WHITE RlBBONERS' DAY OF PRAYER

Thursday last was appointed as {
DAY of prayer in every Union in the
state for the work. the workers anC
for Christian citizenship. White
Ribboners met at the Presbyterian
church and enjoyed a profitable
service under the able leadership OF
Mrs. Cowgirl. Victory was the key
note Of the meeting. This is the
victory that overcometh the world,
even your faith"
Miss Helen Hitchcock gave a
paper, Gods Righteousness. What
does it mean in the home, the school,
in society, the state and the ma
ton" The Importance of Bible
study was shown. Quotations were
given. DR.. David Beaton of the
University Of Chicago said: 1.-THE
| English Bible was the symbol of
human liberty and the greatest men
in English history stood up for the
Bible, for they knew that if the
people grasped the ethical prin-
ciples of the Bible they would be
better citizens. President Roose-
welt said, Children must be trained
in the elementary branches of right
eousness; they must be trained so
that it shall come naturally to them
to abhor that which is evil, or we
never can see our democracy take
the place which it must and shall
take among the nations of the
earth.
Mrs. Lusk's paper on Goods call
to White Ribboners; what is it,"
proved the call to be a re-iteration
of the scriptural command, go,
work In my vineyard. Whole
hearted service was insisted upon.
Earnest prayers were offered, with
songs of praise and conservation.
Many happy testimonies were given.
Mrs. Collins held business ses-
sion at the close of the meeting.
Five dollars were pledged for state
work. 1t was decided to secure
Miss Minnie L. Green of Mora,
