W0MAN'S CHRISTIAN
 TEMPERANCE UNOIN
An Appreciation.
Bishop w. F, Mallalien, Boston.

The books of God and the ages of eternity will show the results of the blessed work of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. In this world, turn wher- ever we may, the outcome of the sacrificing, faithful work and the ceaseless prayers of the good women of this organization have been, and will continue to be, the source of boundlesS blessings to the human family.
 The history of the Union from it's origin to the present hour has been one of wonderful visions and magnificent achievements. In it's brief career it has circled the globe, and wherever it has gone it has been a benediction and a mighty force for the uplift of humanity. At the same time, it's beneficient work has but just commenced. It must go on and on until the last legalized form of traffic for the beverage use of intoxicants shall be done away, until the rum business is relega ted to the place where it belongs with piracy, highway robbery and deliberate murder. Surely Gods good angels watch. over the work of the faithful women who toll to prevent the breaking of sorrowing hearts, and the wrecking of christian homes and the waste and ruin and death re- sulting from the use of drink.
 Special words of commenda- tion are due to the Woman S Christian Temperance Union for it's influential endeavors and the effective execution of it's plans for the much and long needed re- form in the celebration of our nations birthday. We have de veloped the custom of cele- brating it as though we were a nation of heathen barbarians and brutal savages.
