HOME AND MOTHERS' MEETINGS DEPARTMENT.

February sth. 19 29. Dear Sisters, My heartiest greetings for a New Year full of prayer and work. We are starting another year. Let us start this year with prayer for more strength and understanding, for we have an awful foe to fight, for according to w'hat we hear and read and see. the liquor traffic is stealing our lads and lassies. Something must be done to stop this. 1 often hear: “Oh, it’s the home training.” Mothers! what are you doing. There is no doubt children and boys and girls just out of school have far too much liberty, they seem to go very much as they please, and that Is why such a great number of the young folk of to-day are living such fast lives. Mothers! It is time you woke up to jour duty. A parents duty to their child is not only to feed and clothe them. No, they have a greater duty, and that is to teach them true love to Cod and man, also respect and obedience. I am very pleased with reports I have received re the Home meetings. Unions are giving it a try. and those that have tried them, find they get more members beside being helpful and sociable. I hope to have even a better report at the end of this year; I may not be in office, hut whether I am or not, I shall always he willing to give any help to Unions that T can. T have heard very little about the Mothers’ meetings, but as I have already pointed out several subjects, I hope to hear something during this yea r. Yours for sendee. M. OLSEN, Supt., Norsewood.
