The twenty-third annual convention of the Ontario County Women's Christian Temperance Union, was held in the Methodist Church, Port Perry, Friday, June 21st. We could not have picked out a wetter day if we had tried, But the pouring rain did not dampen the spirits of the women who had the courage to attend the Convention. Delegates were present from Osha-| wa, Whitby, Uxbridge, Port Perry, and Prince Albert. Unfortunately Can- nington Union has disbanded' for the present. All the other Unions are active and flourishing. The reports of Superintendents from the different Unions were all good--- the best in years. The following officers were elected: Pres.---Mrs. Gully, Uxbridge V. Pres.--Mrs. Stalter, Oshawa Cor. Sec'y--Mrs Heroncourt, Osh= awa, Treas.--Mrs Ganton, Uxbridge Rec, Sec"y--Mrs, George Jackson, Port Perry. $975 was raised by the Unions of the County for all purposes, $600 of which went to the Y.M.C.A The leading thought of the Con- vention was--"Carry on." The weapon of warfare--Prayer. Mrs, Gully, of Uxbridge, , President of the County Union, gave a hopeful, inspiring address. The speaker pornied out that this is a testing time for men and women, and that our 1m- patience because reforms cowe slowly must be curbed--we must 'learn to wait God's time. He is not hurried, but works his plans through the circle of the centuries. ; The W. C. T. U. was started by the prayer of one woman in a saloon. Now its power 18 mighty -- greater than even the members themselves realize. Its power to do things 1s evident on every hand. What-had seemed im- possible years ago, is now easily un- dertaken, = Nothing illustrates this fact better than the raising of $10,000 during the prohibition campaign, and more recently, the successful effort for the Trinket Fund, which will raise $25,000 for Y.M.C.A. work that amount being now paid to the execu- tive of the Y.M.C.A. Speaking of the educational work, Mrs Gully urged that it must be con- tinued; that the young must be taught to hate liquor, to love clean life, and to be alive to the problems which they as citizens must face. This point of not growing weary in the work was beautifully emphasized by the dream which pictured the apostles, weary because of 'seeming failure, ready to quit; and then heart- ened again by the mew vision they gained as John's prayer was answered |; and inspiration came to the discour- aged disciples. What if they had quit? What if we should quit? We MUST carry on. Ms. Stevens, Provincial President, traced the work of the W.C.T.U. from its inception, telling of the wonderful revival at Hillsboro that caused the saloon keepers to pour their liquor into the streets and close their places of business, The continuous prayers of the women put fear into the hearts of the men. The work, begun at Hills- boro, swept through the country, pot] finally the success achieved apparent that an organized Union could do great work, and the have proved how great that work has The theme of Mrs. Stevens' evening address was the world-wide the wel. and the es need of influence Mrs. A; F.
