 The W. c. T. U. Worlds Convention is to be held in London, England, from April IS to 23, 1920. Passage has al ready been engaged by Miss Anna A. Gordon, national president, and Miss
 Julia F. Deane, editor of the Union Signal, on the steamship "Philadel- phia." This ship sails March 20, on the birthday of Neal Dow, Father of Prohibition" Miss Gordon and Miss Deane will leave two weeks in ad- vance of the other delegates because of the preliminary duties that fall up- on our president as one of the Worlds secretaries. They will visit Egypt and other countries in the East, then go to South America, Australia and New Zealand. There are five regional con ferences to be held this month and next.

Mrs. Eliza beth Perkins is director of child wei fare work. Ten thousand dollars has been appropriated to the work in the Bureau of Child Welfare in University of Iowa for investigation along the lines of the effects of alcohol upon the whole problem of child welfare. A child welfare station will be organized in Detroit, Mich, where work will be done for the improvement of physical condition of children. Just received a letter from Bertha Bowman, Direct or of Publicity, stating that the South Central Regional Convention will be held in Fort Worth, Tex, February II and 12. The object is to promote the jubilee campaign. It is affirmed by progressive, deep thinking and spiritual guided persons in the work of making the world good by united strength that the churches will be unit, that our world will be wholly temperate and many good things com pleted by 1925. Goodness, do we have to wait five long years?
 We wonder if everything contrary to good will surrender as it should before better state of affairs can ex- ist. Long years ago the question was asked, "When will that Peace and Good Will rule the world2" It was answered in a manner that revealed the truth. The world is ruled by Evil. and leaders have done their worst in dealing with good, and the conse- quence is that good inclinations be- came diseased by evil evironment Satan is fulfilling his part as told in Prophecy. He has lost many of his daring soldiers They are now bat ting for rights, but his work is not over yet "The love of money Is the root of all evil How many hearts in the present evil world that do not want this article when food is so high and clothing so costly See how evil is at work to force sin thru distress up- on all nations-but the time can not always exist under conditions as they are now.
