Our union has forty-seven active and
nine honorary members; has lost one by
death and gained four. The members
generally wear the white ribbon, as
they are supposed to do at all times
We have met with the most encourage
ment in the flower mission, although it
has not done the amount of work this
year as in former years. They sent out
ISL bouqets, twenty fruits and ~jellies,
thirty-tour text cards, eight growing
plants, twenty two garments and a great
many visits have been made to the sick.
We have held twenty eight regular and
II public meeting in September, and
lost II member by death, our beloved
and honored president, Mrs. HANNAH
M. Torton.
The press department has published
about II COLUMN. The chief topics
being Flower Mission. Mothers Meeting
and Local Option, and our editor has
been very kind and polite to us. We
feel the press has an important part in
our meetings.
Social and Red Letter Day department.
led by Mrs. Titus is very pleasing. We
have had appropriate readings for the
different topics and distributed literature
! and ten Union Signals on these occas-
ions.
Department of literature has only a par
tial account. Seventy five temperance
papers, sixty religious papers, and two
Bibles given. where we hope they will do
some good.
Sunday School Work reports Total
membership in three Methodist Schools
GIG scholars, lO4 pledged members, 700
pages temperance literature distributed,
ten temperance books in library, two
Sunday School concerts and ten tenn
perance addresses.
Our Sunday schools have been repre-
sented at two conventions. Bethel and
st. Paul's observed Worlds Temperance
Sunday and one superintendent thinks
the greatest need is Work.
Evangelistic work with Mrs. Katherine
Hughes, as leader has been a great help,
she reports one child clothed, medicine
for several sick, also twenty-one visits to
the sick and poor. If a few can do this
little good how much could a host do.
| dare say Mrs. Hughes did much more
not reported as she is so timid she does
not want to over estimate her work.
