PRISON WORK w. C. T. U. TOPIC.
The monthly meeting of the Wom-
ems Christian Temperance Union was
held with Mrs. r. C. Benson, 1902
Nineteenth street, yesterday after
noon. The president, Mrs. r. G.. Sum-
mers, conducted the devotional. Mrs.
Forest Young gave report of the re-
suit of the work done in the county by
Mrs. Elizabeth McFarlane of Rock
ford, a state organizer. Several new
unions were organized with gain of
126 new members in the county.
After the business session Mrs. S.
]. Woodin took charge of the program,
the topic being Prison and Jail Work"
Mrs. Woodin's paper "an appeal to
the churches" was for a considera-
ton of the relations of Christian peo-
pie to the reformation of criminals and
quoted the Rev. DR.. Gates, who said
1.-The Lord has laid the care of the
prisoner upon the heart of the church
as really and as sacredly as He has
laid the care of the heather upon the
heart of the church" General r.
Brinkerhoff says, prison reform, as
the child of christianity has a vested
right to the care of the churches. If
it fails to receive it, it is an orphan,
and there is no adequate help else
where" a Christian sentiment to-
wards those who are going astray,
those who have gone astray, and those
who are returning must be inculcated
before the best work can be done.
There is need of changes in public
sentiment. In a paper on 1.-THE honor
system" Miss Alwilda Young told of
the encouraging results of Gov. Vests
honor system with prisoners, in Ore
gon. Governor West says: MANY
prisoners cannot be trusted but some
can be trusted implicitly. They
are not criminals and should be given
another chance after they see the error
Of their ways. We are now able to
pretty well sift out the real criminal !
who should be kept locked up away |
from society" Kansas, Washington, I
Arizona and New York are I
working out the honor system with I
good results.

Mrs. Fl. c. Kingsbury. A social time I
