FRANCES WILLARD
(By Press Reporter.)

The Frances Willard w. c. T. U.
held it's annual crusade meeting at
the home of Mrs. Anna Cunningham
on South Mulberry street, the last
meeting in December, with Mrs. Lola
Walker in the chair.
The OLD crusade song, "Give to the
Winds Thy Fears" was sung by the
union, followed by devotionals by
Rev. Freeman of the Congregational
church, who read from second chap
ter of Philippians and offered prayer
"Gloria" was sung by the union
and the minutes of the last meeting
read.
The program was in charge of Mrs
Carrie Tilton and was opened by sing
ing THE Tide Rolls In"
Rev. Freeman read from the last
chapter of James and briefly reviewed
the crusade work of early years,
showing Gods hand in the evolution
of public sentiment against alcoholic
drink traffic; that the crusade work
begun by the women to protect their
homes and loved ones seemed to bear
no fruit; but they prayed and labored
and sacrificed, waiting for answer
from God. But it came to them that
God was waiting for them to answer
their own prayers and that agitation
and education of the young along the
was the work in hand. He showed
how God deals in lines of growth with
his people, and overturns no natural
law, to answer in haste, petitions
from them.
He gave true Illustration. An old
| darkey, who was born a slave, prayed
for freedom, earnestly, for years,
| never doubling but that he would be
set free. The years passed, and he
was no nearer obtaining his freedom
than at first, but his faith did not
wayer. He cast about for reasons
why ne was still unanswered, when
the Spirit put it into his mind, "Why
don't you use your legs?" So he
started that very night and ran off
into Canada, and was free.
The president, Mrs. Walker, fol-
lowed with remarks hopeful and rea
suring, confident of the nearby day,
when the prayers Of the Crusader
would be answered by laws for elm.

Miss Anna Evans recited an excel.

The Crusaders present gave their
"reminiscences OF the old days. 1t may
be interesting to know that but -
Crusaders remain in Mt Vernon. Like
our old soldiers the pears are pass
ing them onward, yet. they have left
behind the early steps of movement
which has become nationwide for

the line of cleavage in the state is
