Grlil!th' : supporters assert that the
vote for delegates to the general as
scmbly viii prove beyond doubt their
claim that the tremendous majority of
tho Irish people favors the Anrlo-
1rish treaty.
The Dali Eireann Will rcasscmblc on
February IT and another long wrangIe
is expected, but this time the Griffith h
faction IS expected to have increasc ed
its margin Of control. Tho London
government has been playing its part
has happened to threaten the domi-
nance "f the pro-trcaty group Had
the British made false move the
treaty might have been beaten. because
there are enough Deputies still wavcr-
my ittlc to throw the decision ad-
Vcrscly. The withdrawal of the Rlack
and fans and the release of some po-
Ftlcal prisoners. even before the treaty
had been approved by the southern
Parliament, served to strengthen Grif~
fifth position.

OF whom, although working under Eng

country was ever so infested with spies
as ireland has been in the last few
years. Countless interesting stories are
told of now Sim FeincrS worked in dc
partmcnts charged with the duty Of de

Sim Feiners would be assigned to catch
certain Sim Fciners who worked in the

The credit for the first administrative
success OF the new provisional Cabinet
goes to Joseph McGrath, head Of the

Plan your work, then work
your plan. This was the keynote
OF a very inspirational meeting
that ] attended Saturday, and as
the real purose Of this column Is
to pass along anything that might
prove mutually helpful to women
engaged in any phase Of construc.
tive activity, regardless OF denom-
ination or creed, / take 1t that
any program or undertaking that
has been carried out successfully
by one organization might prove
equally interesting and effective
II adapted to the needs OF another
whose aim is similar.
Missionary endeavor has be-
come the leading movement III
every church that Is progressive
and keeping In touch with, the
needs Of the hour, and Che OBJ.
ject Of united effort on the part
OF practically all denominations,
SO 1t is subject upon which great
number may now. meet on COM
mon ground, and some of the
brainest, US we'll as the most
spiritual men and women OF our
times, are giving OF themselves TO
the utmost In planning weld
wide programs along missionary
lines.
So, 1t behooyes us as workers,
to hold the fort at least, even
though during these days of finan-
cial depression and social unrest
we cannot advance as rapidly as
we would like-and in the mean
time continue In training, SO that
when tho time comes to go for
ward, we will be ready to face
our opportunities, and meet them
with confidence in ourselves and
faith in God, believing that He
will lead us on to ultimate VIC
tory In the cause we represent.
To this end the meeting to
which I have referred was called
by Mrs. Levi B. Harr,, president
of the First NJ. E. Church, and Of
the Moygantown district Of the
same denomination, to be held in
her home on Morgantown avenue
:all day Saturday. The guests In
;cluded all officers and. heads Of
the different departments In the
district and local Methodist EpIs-
ccpal churches. The out-of-town
folk camey on the early morning
trains. and were taken at, once to
Mrs. Harris and the local women
were invited for 10 O'Clock. A few
minutes were spent in greetings
and then the morning session was
opened with devotional exer-
cises d.by Mrs. Edgar A. Lowth-

"The Value Of Intercessary
Prayer" was the subject Of q
talk BY Mrs. Richard Hall, who
said that the crying need of
Christian Organizations was for
more women who would lead de-
votionals, and pray publicly as
well as privately. MANY OF the
older women whom we have de-
pended on In days gone by to, con-
duct this part OF the services are
passing away one by one, and
there are so few who are willing
to take their places" she explain.
cd. AS a solution, she suggested
that children in the home and
young peoples societies be taught
the meaning OF prayer, and train
ed to pray andibly by repeating
sentence prayers, and as they
grew older It would come natural
to them, as do other form Of Chrls-
ttan service.

very informal, as everyone felt free

NEW CLUB FOR MANN1NGroN

HANNINGToN is to be congratulated upon the
4V1 organization Of a Business and Professional
Womans Club for that city. Such club will be
found to be as important an item in civic affairs
as the Kiwanis Club. the Woman's Club, and other
similar organizations.
Warrington will find in its Business and Pro-
fesstonal 'Woman's Club, an active, wideawake,
practical body; an organization keenly alive to
the city's needs and advantages. The personnel
of such club will include women who are moro
thoroughly acquainted with the business life Of
Warrington than are three-fourths of tho male
population. These women who handle office az
fairs, who teach in the schools, who successfully
conduct business Of their own are alert, alive, and
brimming with ambition. Wherever they 60 they
wllpbOost for Warrington and It's success. Their
organization will give them new vision and in
SEPARATION, and the city will benefit accordingly as
these women begin grasp their field Of activity.
Rotarians and Kiwantans have done wonders
for the promoting of business fraternalism and
welfare, but they will have little advantage over
the Business and Professional woman's Club In
this line in the future. The West virginian con-
graduates the business women of Warrington on
their successful organization and hopes they will
repeat in Warrington the good accomplished in
Falrmont by the club of this city.
