Woman's Christian Temperance Union

The w. G. T. u. met with Mrs. Muzzy
Thursday last. There was good attend
ance and ali bad a pleasant time, re-
freshment being served. This meeting
seemed greatly favored by the good. as
there were present the following officers
County President, County Corresponding
Secretary, County Treasurer, County SUI
perinteudent of Scientific Temperance
instruction, County Superintendent of
Flower Mission Work, County Superin-
tendent of Health and Heredity, County
Superintendent of the Fair and open air
meetings.
just here let me say that each member
should Loyalty support the mid-week
prayer meeting in their respective
churches as this certainly is one of our
first duties and also attend the w. C. T.
u. meetings when possible. Surely none
of us are too busy to give an hour at these
meetings held on the second and last
Thursday of each month"; Remember
all our time is given us by Him who rules
DER all and surely this may be probably
spent in the temperance cause even in
our own town. Business men in Morris :
vile say had it not been for the Morris =
vile W. c. I. U. license might not have
been driven from their village. If one
small union can do so much, then can.
not the unions of our country working
together accomplish great things for
God and man?
Let each union keep in mind our Coun-
ty Convention to be held soon and send
good delegation from each union, also
make an effort to interest pastors and
their wives in the work. Their co-opera.
ton and help is just what we need, and
will each union ask all churches in their
towns and adjoining towns, whether they
have union or not, to send their pastors
as delegates to the convention ? l think
we will find more interested ones then
we realize if we only look about us
little.
Christian, temperance life is a build
ing. 1t rises slowly day by day, through
the years. Every new lesson we learn
lays block on the edifice which is rising
sometimes silently within us. Every ex-
perience, every touch of another life on
ours, every influence that impresses us,
every book that we read, every act of our
commonest day adds something to the in
visible building. We are imperfect but
the firm and gentle hand of friend by
God-given virtue, straightens out the
unshapely branches of our family tree,
till they are shapely and beautiful, joy
alike to God and man.
