The White Ribbon. “For God, and Home, and Humanity.” WELLINGTON, JANUARY 18, 1929. WELCOME TO 1929.

Greeting* anil best wisliis to all our millers. Havo you made the usual number of good resolutions? Don't! one good resolution, well kept, is worth them all. We give such a one to all our White Ribbon workers. “Let God have His way with you.” General William llootli said, the only way lie could account for his success as a soul-winni r. was: “God has all tbe-e is of me.” The Gospel’s triumphs have been won. not by the crowd of halfin acted workers, but by the few i 11 m>t ouls who have given “all there is of them." M l* PAR FLUNG RATTLE LINK. \iv you all busy pr‘paring for the ne\t engagement with the enemy. \II round the world the battle rag* s. and everywhere the White Ribbon force* are in the forefront of it. We will not era e the fight, nor shall our sword si ep in our hand, until alcohol is outlawed by every land and nation. EDIT \TK PUBLIC OPINION How? Aim to reach every woman. Increase your membership. Circulate nour paper, particularly among those who cannot attend meetings. Hold evening meetings for those who are at work during the day. Put the baby on your (’radio Roll. Keep Hie child in your L.T.L., pass the youth into your Y.P.. and so raise up a constituency that, knowing the evils of alcohol, neither touches, tastes or handles it. Then, upon your knees, pray for such an outpouring of spiritual power, that those you have trained may abolish its manufacture, importation and sale. HEADQUARTERS. Your officers knowing how vital to success it is to hgvp a centre for this educational campaign, have secured a fine Headquarters in Wellington. This, they hope, by the help

of Convention, to make a Lighthouse, whose rays of Peace and Purity will radiate in every direction, and tench with divine fire the life of our nation. Said St. Theresa: “With 1 6 Theresa can do nothing, but with 2/6. Theresa and God can do anything." We have more than St. Theresa’s portion of cash, may we have also a double portion of her spirit. A substantial deposit has been paid, the remainder of price remaining on mortgage. Who is willing to do their part to make our Home free of debt. If every member of the W.C.T.U. would collect 15/before the end of 1 f)29. this would he accomplished. Impossible! say some. Well. White Ribboners, specialise in the impossible.

A newspaper writer said: “There are plenty of people who can do the possible. You can hire them at 4 0 dollars a week. Rut life’s prizes go to the one who can do the Impossible. Whatever is possible, skill and experience can do. but only Faith can do the impossible.” "Impossible” you say? Nay, nay, my friend! That is a word for weaklings, not for men. E’en now let prayer unto your God ascend For overcoming faith, and grace and then, Lift up your eyes, lift up your heart, and go In God’s abniglitiness to attempt the task. Relieving this: Yea, this thing surely know. Your strength is measured by the tilings ye ask! Nothing’s impossible that “ought to be!” Though, if you say so. you 11 be reckoned odd Ry worldlings, who but worldly factors see. And, off as not, forget to count in God! Have you sufficient faith in the future of our Movement io pay for a brick in the new structure? If so, send along your donation to our Dominion Treasurer. He gives twice, who gives quickly The sooner the amount is paid off, the less to pay In interest.
