After the meeting was closed delightful social l season was spent and delicious lunch served by the hostess whose genial l hospitality is well known. The tenn peranee women of the w. C. T. U. stand firm upon their creed declaring 1 for the enfranchisement of women, the abolishment of the liquor habit, and also the enforcement of all existing temperance law, prophesying the de- thronement of the tyrant, alcohol. Fired by this inspiration, enthusiastic with the courage of conviction, are crying, "The saloon must go" and go 1 forever. Sometime it will reverbrate l dowE the centuries, "The saloon has | gone and gone forever.n
 l No hand can queneh the fire
 Of the "Promethianp heat
 l kindled by woman's love and power
 To make Gods work replete."
