A CALL TO PRAYER. Issued by the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union in View of the pending Pree idential Conventions and Campaign. Headquarters N. W. C. T. U., 1G East 14th St., N. Y. To all Christian People : "Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." Our nation is to-day a legal partner in the business of selling intoxicating liquors as a drink. This fact defines the greatest, most immediate, most vi tal issue in National politics. Govern ment of the people cannot successfully co-exist side by side with a traffic pro tected by law, whose result is to ren der the individual incapable of self-gov ernment. The homes of America are imperilled by the saloons whose patron age is recruited from the fireside and the cradle. We therefore, mothers and sisters, wives and daughters, beseech all who believe in God, to join with us in solemn, earnest and importunate prayer that the hearts of the people may be so turned unto Ilim upon whose shoulder the government shall be, that by some party such principles may be declared, and such candidates chosen, that Christian men can conscientiously cast their ballots for the same, being assured that they have thus struck a blow for the National Prohibition of the traffic in strong drink. We name Tuesday, May 27th, as this Day of Prayer and urge all our local Unions to observe this date, enlisting all pastors and churches to co-operate, so far as possible, with us, and respect fully requesting pastors to preach on the subject of Ood in Gowrnnient. on the Sunday preceding or following this day of prayer. We suggest the following PRO GRAMME : TUESDAY, MAY 27th, 10 to 11 A. M. Subject: For the Lenders of the W. C. T. U.: That they may be wise as ser pents and harmless as doves in this great controversy ; that they may have the courage of their convictions and be true to the National motto, "For God and Home and Native Land that a divine charity may peryade all their utterances, that they may meet argu ment with argument, misjudgment with patience, and all their difficulties and dangers with prayer. 11 to 12 A. M. For Christian Past ors and Editors : That their trumpets may give no uncertain sound ; that they may so speak and write as those who shall give account to God ; that as leaders in our Christian civilization they may demand the outlawing of the liquor traffic. 1 to 2P. M. For the Platforms of Parties : That they may not seek to reyive sectional issues, or glitter with old-time generalities,or conceal thought under subtleties of expression, but that they mry pointedly declare that THE SALOON MUST GO. 2 to 3 P. M. For the Presidential Candidates : That they may be men of such personal habits as the mothers of this nation might safely hold up as models for their sons ; men committed by character and public pledge to Na tional Prohibition ; men who fear God and work righteousness. 3to4P. M. For the Christian Fo ters of the Republic, with whom rests the balance of power : That their spirit ual insight may be greatly quickened ; that their consciences may be alarmed ; that the cry from broken hearts, de fenceless homes and ruiaed souls may stir their whole being to its noblest possibilities ; that they may ses that there is no postponement of duty which does not involve irremediable loss ; that they may be convinced that TIIE RIGHT IS ALWAYS EXPEDIENT, and T6- solve to walk worthy of their high call ing. and to make no compromise with wrong ; that they may be inspired to see their duty to their Home Constituency, and to represent the women whom they love and honor by outlawing the Saloon and protecting the Home. Let the leaders be—one tor each hour —duly chosen and announced. Bible texts, illustrating and enforcing the Ave general topics here given, may be readily collated. Yours for a Republic whose rulers 3hall be men of God. FRANCES E. WILLARD. Illinois, CAROLINE B. BUELL, Conn., MARY A. WOODBRIDGE, Ohio, ESTHER PUGH, Ohio, L. M. N. STEVENS, Maine, General Officers National W, C. T. U, I —Mr. W. H. Mingle, of Centre Hall, l is 11 candidate for I'rothonotaiy. His announcement will bo found in another ! column. —New Berlin's correspondent to the Mifliinbuig Telegraph has the following: Superintendent. Shortess says that lie furnishes bread, beef, &c., for only 51 boarders. He Bays Union Sern isn't roomy enough to accommodate all who apply for rooms, hence many students must seek homes or places in the town board lug-h9fitses until the ad dition is built to the Seminary. —During our short stay at Lewislmrg lust week wo visited Harris' Millinery Store and were astonished at their im mense stock of goods as well us at the rushing business they do at their store. From 25 to 36 hats and bonuets wrre sold in an hour's time, not to mention all the other innumerable tilings of fash ion,which were taken away by ea ger customers. Mr. Harris informed us that their sale of hats the other Sat urday amounted to the fair figure of 106. But then Mr. and Mrs. Harris just know how to make their patrens feel at home and the ladies would rath er linger an hour to be waited on, than go anywhere else for their goods. —Patronize all home industries and enterprises. If you buy of your neigh bor they will buy of you, and all will prosper. If the men who deal in boots and shoes or hardware send away for dry goods and groceries for their famil ies because they can saye a little there by,they break down the husines of their neighbors who deal in their articles. They get even, they send for what they don't keep and you do,and destroy your trade. So, too, with professional men and mechanics. In order to prosper they must help each other. Every member of the community must do this or those who find business unremuner ate wll| leave and go elsewhere. Etfery man who works produces something, and his neighbors should patronize his industry to retain him among them. If lie and his family go to another place, every kind of husines loses his custom and its profits. Contribute to all pub lic enterprises that look to the general good. If a new public building or new manufactory is to be built, contribute by subscribing, or at least say a good word for them. If you have a business, advertise it, aud people will know what it is, and will patronize you. You can not hide your light under a bushel and then expect people to see it; if you at tempt it you will be the loser,and ought to suffer. Madisonburg Items.
