STRENGTH OF THE NATION MOVEMENT.

“In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” Comrades in Christ, —Ido not cease your praxers just because six o’clock closn gh is been gained. A greater battle with greater victories lies just ahead of 11s. The Local Option poll may com at any time, for causes are at work that may precipitate an election, and we must be ready to spring into line instantly. By daily, fervent prayer, and by getting in tune with the Infinite, will be the best, and indeed, only possible preparation. Next, will every member try to secure a new subscriber to the “White Ribbon”? We must reach the outside masses now if we wou'd be ready for the contest. During the approaching holidays speak to all your friends and visitors about becoming W.C.T.U. members. Plan for bright open-air meetings on Sunday afternoons and week evenings. Try to catch the man in the street, who will have no open bar to go to. Cater for him by joining forces with other Temperance bodies, and having warm, cheery, homely little gatherings wherever possible. Love mu< h, pray much, work hard, and “Thy God, Who hath commanded thv stre gth.’’ will give you joy in service, nd an abundant harvest. BESSIE LEE-COWJE.
