No time limit is fixed In the lav, I calling: the convention. it is common-I !y believed that the convention will be! in session at oHm three months. Some' persons ar urging H plan to have thej convention meet nd remain fn session perhaps a month for the purpose of re-( feivin.it all sujrg-est ions hnd recommendations relating- to provisions in the new constitution, anil then take a recess for s month in which time the delegates would b- expected to study the propositions and get ready to thresh them out when the convention ie-con-vened. However, no one knows whether this plan will be carried out. After the convention has drafted the proposed new constitution it will then be vi p to the people of the state to ratify or reject it. The convention w:!l coil a special election for this purpose, it will j fix the date for 'his election and lay 1 down the rules to jrovern It.

I the stories that an told by that 1 t ' : white ribbon on my breast. May I relate just a little Incident: Sometime airo we lived In Madison, Ind. Some of you know something of the reputation of Madison. At that time it had forty-two saloons in a town of V , 0 0 0 or 9, iinn people living in it. Aaron Worth, a good old preacher, who has studied prohibition for many, many years, went down one time to make a speech, and he was hooted, and he wasn't allowed to go into the court house even to make his speech. He was finally compelled to stand on the street corner amid the Jeers and confusion of the crowd. At one time he thought he avis going to have to yield to the hunch of hoodlums that tame around, but a your.sr girl of around 1 1 climbed in the wairon where Aaron Worth was star din sr. She ri'sed lvr ha id and said "I sm going to stand hy this man while he makes his speech." The talk was stopped, and Aaron Worth said that gave me oo'irags and I made .,-v speech. And he said as he went out over the country after that he said in a speech: "If I owned Madison and if I owned hell. 1 would sell Madison and keep hell, the only difference between the two, one has n river, Madison has a river running through it and T don't suppose hell has one." Xo-.v I lived in Madison and we organize, I a splendid Women's Christian Temper.(me Union with eighty members. And the first service we did around the town was to hold Jail service every Sunday. I went to jail Sunday after Sundae in the afternoon and gave the message from the word of God. There were eight men who were in there for about three months and I delivered the message to the same crowd of men for three months. One Sunday in speak;n to them I said "Now, men, we i-ouhl come nere ;.nu iwum .-(,-.., ... vou during the rest of your lives and you would- never become any better than you are today. It is not my tellin" you of Jesus Christ that is going to make you better, but that is what you fire expecting. It tfc Jesus Christ that is goinsr to change your heart and make you Christlons." As I had g:one I into the Jail the sheriff had said to me. "Mrs. Veyhinger, we have a new man in there today." T says "Who is he'.'" He said "His name is Lor kri, lire.' Tti deli-, ering my lot- sage I went eo each one of ti ese eight to n w ho had been there ;he longest and I mad,' a personal appeal to them to seek Jesus Christ.
