Having taken the 'tro11hle_ to examine Mr. Dickey s work, Mr. Ross was satised that there was little ground for ser- ious complaint, -although a few little improvement-s might be madeg He believed that the onus rests on the shoulders of the principal to see that the care- taker does his work properly.

Mrs. Th-ompson asked. her del- egates to look backward to the beginning of the W.C.T.U. It is now 44 years since Dr. Dio Lew- is, a famous Boston doctor, on a lecture trip told the story of his own mother s hardships as fol- lows:- n 1: 1- I "There was a house full of us little` folks, `and my father was given over to. strong drink. Ev- ery day` mylmother went up to the garrett after he had left the house, and when she came back her face shone with such a hea- venly light that we knew she had been talking with. God. 'One day she put on her faded bonnet and shawl-and, taking` in her hand the Bible, she went to the saloon where my father spent most of his time and money, and, putting the sacred volume on the bar whence he was wont to _lift the glass of `liquor, she read in her clear voice these words, Woe unto him that putteth the bottle to his neigh~hor s lips. In her mild face and voice "there was such a sense of God s presence ' that when she asked the man be-l hind the bar if she might pray, he not only gave her permission but knelt beside his casks while she poured out her soul in fer- -vent petition that the Holy Spirit. would work in him a change of- heart. That prayer was answer- ed. thepublican never again sold intoxicating liquor to my father `or anybody else. Tl`!-...~ r\uu\r\ur\`a nnnitnl t....nI-.n.l ..J auwu-uv This simple recital touched every heart in the assembly. Helj felt that if the women would un- ite and make to the saloon_keep- ` er in every town andvillage the same appeal the same blessed re~ ` sult would follow. The hour struck for the Woman s Tem- perance Pentecost, and the mo- vement has marched steadily on until it is now a felt force for the wave of sacred fire has owed out to every hamlet. Bands of praying women,sometimes a do- zen, often a .hundred, thronged the public houses keeping up perpetual meetings. When they were not allowed to enter they knelt ingroups around the door. From this beginning, Mrs. Thompson traced the growth down to the present time. Ag- itate, educate, organize are the deathless watchwords of their , success," she said. Although the past year has beengone full of . `many anxieties, sorrows and per... plexities, still our hearts are ll- ed with gratitude to God for vic- tories won. Truly the year 1916 i was `Victory Year.` Let us make uplift of humanity in every civ_ ilized country in the world. The 1917 `The Year of Opportunity. _ _ _ _ -...L 41.-....

Two or three million bushels of grain are annually wasted by be- ing converted into liquor and this would feed between 200,000 and 300,000 people. A Mrs. Thompson then took up the question of race track gam- bling and the evils of the cigar- ette habit. It is appalling, the speaker-said, the increase in the manufacture and sale of cigar- ettes since the opening of the war, and those who study the question tremble for the future of our nation. In 1913 there were 977,734,307 cigarettes sold; in 19-14 1,666,023,870 and in 1915 1,088,858,656. This, too, does not include the cigarettes made by private individuals for their personal. consumption. Canada spent about $33,000,000 for cigars and cigarettes in 1915 -suicient, it is stated, to pay the interest on our war debt for four or ve years. rru --- The Wet Canteen is` a black scar to the Union, and it seemed, said Mrs. Thompson, that "not until the gaunt spectre of famine holds sway o er the land would Great Britain stop theAdestrt1c- tion wrought by this evil.

What about our most valuable posses- sion, the children? It is more spectacular to rescue one who has been in the gutter of sin and shame, but it is innitely better to prevent the young from wan- dering into error. The W.C.T.U. has unlimited possibilities along this line. There should be mor_e faithful study of scientic tem_ perance, hygiene and heredity and spread the knowledge more broadcast. We should cultivate public opinion to preserve" the sanctity of the Lord s Day, to strengthen the present prohib- tion of the Sunday newspaper, and to obtain laws against ad- ultery and any other organized evil which seeks ascendancy in our land. V`... ......v-- Mrs. Thompson closed with a word of admonition. It would .ill ..become us, she said, to weary in well doing, thereby los- ing the reaping in due season which is promised to those who persevere. Having put our hands to the temperance plough, there must be no turning back, no fall- ing out until the headlands are nished and reapers have gather- ed the harvest. Our laws are not perfect and we must not shirk until the Federal enactments shall quit their complicity lwith national sins. God is not mocked. How futile are all our efforts without His aid.
