Drinking fountain committee reported hating met at Mrs. Aments and agreed upon plan of work to be entered npon in February. Active work was entered into by the superintendents of Legislative De partment. Mrs. Berry, superintendent of "Parity in Literature aud Art" de partment was introduced and the pro gram rendered was as follows: Song "All Round the World" by members of quartette. Select Reading, by Mrs. Cowdrey. Recitation "The Red Cradle" Mrs. Engles in her pleasing manner, as usual, recited this which was ap preciated by all present. Miss La mar played the accompaniment on the piano. Paper read in part by Mrs. Berry as follows : "Purity in Literature and Art." The germ thought of this department is "The loner Mission" theBlble as the highest expression of Literature. Christ in Art now rales the whole kingdom of Art Learning. Song, Drama and Theology, all hate ccn spired to glorify the name of Jesus who made possible the coming of the Holy Spirit We seek the elevation of the press. Scrutinize the litera ture on newstends, railroads and steamboats, library shelves, in mail matter, bill posters, shbows, exhibi tions, art galleries. Our methods are to appeal to con gress, legislatures,' counoils, magis trates and courts for the enforcement of existing and oreation of better laws; also the use of lectures and literature to arouse publio sentiment. Abraham Lincoln said: "Publio sentiment is everything. With publio sentiment nothing can fall; without it nothing oan succeed." Conse quently, he who molds publio senti ment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions. He makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to be executed. The success of the purity and temperaooe reform lies in the strengthening of the wilL We rUoe parity of thought and all the good gifts of our Creator, the fruits, the grains, and water, in the place of these things in a decayed state, which is alcohol. The deadliest foe we have to .face is desire for im purity or intemperance, which is ap petite. "The pjwer to believe in the highest and best is not primarily intellectual, bat moral, and is a preparation to believe in God. ' ' Ideas are as contagions as disease and may be spread as surely. Get everyone to be a lover of good litera ture and art, and yon lift the whole lace. "Our thoughts are the in visible influences which give its com plexion to oar life, even as the insect is colored by the leaf on which it feeds." "The highest form of litera ture aud art is that devoted to the bent interests of the people which shouln become the most noble, vital aud crowning happiuess of human life." If the imagination is a part of divine life, then the iodividtinl and the national life should be intelligent and ideal. Education means as much suppression as it does cultivation, uprooting as well as planting. It is said that degenerate literature is the procuring cause for the increase in crime among the youth aud children of our land. It is for ns to decide whether this is to continue. Each member of society is responsible. Then the question that faces us is, "ShaU we each help to raise the stand ard of purity?" The literature we read, the claw of art we patronize. leave an impression for good or evil upon each persou with whom we come in contact We are weak or strong, foolish or wise, corrupt or righteous, just in proportion as we are controlled by Bible principles. The Bible is a storehouse of relig lous instruction and a library of liter ary masterpieces. RESOLUTION OP THE NATIONAL W. a TT. U.
