a urah on me that I could not

The ladles of our W. C. T. U.
have been having a strenuous time
this week. Starting Monday after
noon it was a steady grind one
thing right after another until late
Tuesday night. Monday afternoon
Mrs. A. I). Stockton, formerly in
charge of the Mother's meeting
department iu Rochester, New
York, led a very interesting and
instructive Mother's meeting. The
subject under discussion was "How
to Teach Purity to our Children.'
Mrs. Stockton handled this subject
hi her usual earnest and energetic
manner and was ably seconded by
all present ami the discussion bids
fair to bring about some radical
changes iu the lives and education
of some at least of the youth of our
town.
Monday night Miss Rose A.
Davison ol Colorado hprings gave
a recital consisting of selections
from "Hlnck Rock," which were
very interesting and well received,
as was (he duet by the Misses
Couch and llaldwiu and the olo
by Miss Lillian Perkins.

lecture 011 the work of the organ

done and much more that could be
accomplished in the future by
steady, insistent effort. Miss Dav

Mis. J. C. Scott who pronounces
her to be a lovely girl, iu love with
her work and ready to make grtat
