Cordial response was given in all cases, and a date is then fixed (preferably in the usual class time) and a fort eful speaker sent to meet the i unbilled girls’ and hoy’s classes. We found it advisable, in all oases, to send a gentleman speaker where the talk was not given by the minister himself. A simple pledge card was specially printed, and at the close of the address an op!*ortunitv was given for these to lie signed. The response at one Church was fin pledged vonng folk, at another 20. tid the work is still going on. two or more W.C.T.U. members attending • .i h meeting.
