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.

announcement will bo found in another

—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.
