U. women of onr country. And I might say men too, for there are gentlemen who gave us their hearty support and sym. pa thy, “they will likewise have their reward.’’ The idea prevails, that it is only a crusade against the saloon and the use of alcoholic liquors, but that is not ail by any means, there are many departments of work, such as narcotics, health and heredity, purity in literature and art, orphans home work, work among miners, flower mission work, jail and prison, 6abbath observances, evangelistic work, with a superintendent for eaeh. And the object of the whole is to better the oonditiou of our fellow beings, socially, morally, and spir. Itually. We believe this great movement is Gods work, and we are only instruments in his hands, by whom the work must be accomplished. And ail who have faith in the power of prayer, must believe the work will ultimately succeed, when they learn that two hundred thousand earnest Christian women, are each day sending up their petitions to a throne of grace for strength, courage, and wisdom, to enable them to go forward in this terrible conflict of right against wrong.
