My Dear Comrade**, — White Ribbon month has come and gone, hut our efforts to win subscribers must not be shelved. Ours to try. If ;it first we don’t succeed, try, try, try attain. We are carrying out our programme of education as we circulate our “White Ribbon” paper. Our goal is to win abolition of the liquor traffic. Every effort helps. No effort is lost. Some may try to dissuade us, saying our goal is too high. Jesus set a goal long ago. “Re ye perfect, even as your leather in heaven is perfect.” I>o we as Christians say Jesus set t(*o high a standard? I)o we not rut her press on toward the mark, His goal ever Vfore us? Not weary in striving aftei the perfect life, because we know that Jesus is with us. helping us to overcome, until we reach the Land where there is no sin. Now, when we strive for the übolition of strong drink, is not this goal one of the summits to lie reached in our efforts to attain unto Jesus’ goal” Oh, that we had a \ision of the world as Jesus came to make it. How we would long to clear the road <>f all that hurts and destroys mankind; how we would cultivate the gift* of leadership and of speech to give out the messages of God. messages of warning as well as messages of uplift. Only by baptising all work with prayer, and following all prayer with work, can we attain our end. May (Jod’s richest blessing rest on each one of you, my White Ribl>on comrades, and may this >ear see a real awakening, an enthusiasm that will not he quenched until the day of victory. We are cheered to know that the Farmers’ Union is taking up the cudgels against drink at dances. Soon there will he a great awakening to the dire evils resulting from the taking of alcohol by whatever name it is called. Pear not!

“I will stand in the pathway of duty. For a cause which shall never retreat, Tis with God-given strength 1 shall conquer. And the foe in tlie conflict defeat. 1 will stand 'gainst a great host of darkness. And list to the Master’s command, Hurled down from the heavenly portals, The line must not break where we stand. With love and greetings, JESSIE HIETT.
