THE W. C. T. U. COLUMN.
A VEIK OP PRATER FOR THS NATION
AL, STAT* AND LOCAL W. C. T U
MARCH 18TH TO 25TH, 1888
Beloved Sister*:— We call every
anion, and every woman in onr heroic
conntitueucy to spend a week in uni
ted and special prayer, beth private
and public, for such a baptism of wis
dom and courage upon ourselves, and
such a putting forth of divine
power as shall be felt in all this land.
Reasons: The year upon us Is one of
struggle and destiny. Within these
months the temperance cause shall be
in the very heart of a mighty contest.
Then let as pray,
First: That upon our great organ
ization may come a fresh Impulse
from Heaven; and on every active
worker a Dew anointing of the Spirit.
Second: For our unused member
ship held to us by pledge and name,
but not consecrated to the spirit and
activities of the work. Let us »sk
God to call our own women from idle
ness to service.
Third- For the great body of
Christian womanhood who yet stand
afar from tLis greatest of missionary
agencies for the salvation of our own
and other lands.
The meetings of the week need not
be widely public, nor their aim to in
vite universal attention. Begin quiet
ly an afternoon meeting for prayer in
your own nsual place of meeting,or ID
a parlor, with the hearts touched al
ready with a longing for more of God
in our work, and more of His power
on all on* people. Make special effort
first for all members of the unions,
'hat together we may offer our pray
ers. If attendance widens, as it will,
do not allow discussions upon the
temperance reform or sit methods.
Seek God. Seek Him alone for a
great awakening of the church and
ibe nation. The liquor traffic is here
with its abominations legalized be
cause ot spiritual death. We need
conscience aroused and made true
Sisters of the W. C. T. U., set the
week apart, bold at least one meeting
a d-y for the quiet, unostentatious
seeking of God herein suggested.
Two public evening meetings, with
oermons, gospel talks, or conferences
would be of great value. The even
ing of March 25 might be made effec
tive by union aeryices where these
ean be secured. When the churches
cannot give way for this, hold Buch a
meeting in the afternoon of that day.
No topics are suggested lest they
lead from the one central thought ot
ail the days. Many things yon will
remember: our own work} our coun
try's need and perils; the workers
who must go out into the coming
contest; the pleaders at the fireside;
the voters at the ballot ho*; but tbia
one thing seek and find: God's touch
of power upon our own spiritual life,
and the spiritual life of the nation.
On behalf of the National W. C. T.
U.
FRANCES E. WiLLAaD.Prea.
CABOLINI B, BUKLL, Cor. Sec.
Dear Sisters: —W« earnestly hope
that this call to prayer by our Nation
al President will be faithfully observ
ed throughout tbe county by oar Un
ions both W. A Y's. Let as unite
oar hearts in common with our sis
ters all over this broad land in earnest
petition to Qod for his blessing using
tbe topics here given as oar gaide.
God's benediction will certainly rest
upon our labors if wa bring Him
hearts united in tbe service of prayer
to this work. Where it is utterly
impracticable for unions to meet so
often,great benefit may be derived by
rbe members personally pledging
themselves to observe a certain hour
of each day specified in the call,for re
flection and prayer for the cause.
While pastors in sympathy with tbe
movement should be eolisted to give
ibe subject prominence at the weekly
evening prayer meeting and on
tbe Sabbatb day.
We hope no Unions will feel that
it can afford to entirely ignore this
call.

WOMAN'S WORK FOB THK PROMOTION
or SOCIAL PURITY,
By Miss Willard's request the
branch of work under her care hither
to called the department of Social
Purity, had the name changed at the
recent National Convention to White
Cross and White Shield Department,
the former involving the following
pledge: 1, To treat all women with
respect, and endeavor to protect them
tram wrong and degradation; 2. To
endeavor to put down all indecent
anguage and coarse jests; 3. To
maintain tbe law of putity a* equally
binding upon men and women; 4. To
cudeavor to sp.ead these principles
among my companions, and try to
help my younger brothers; 5 To nw
ill possible meaus to fulfill the com
mand, "keep thyself puro " And tbti
latter, this pledge: 1 To uphold tbe
law of parity as equally bindiDgupoa
men and women; 2, To be modest in
langaage, behavior, and dress; 3; To
avoid ail conversation, reading, art,
and amusements which may put im
pure thoughts into my mind; 4; To
guard the purity of others, especially
of my companions and friends; 5. To
strive after tbe special blessing prom
ised to tbe pure in heart. These are
intended for use by parents, teachers,
pastors, and others who have tbe
care of yonng people, and who will
nse, in connection with tbe pledges,
the carefully prepaiid literature of the
National Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union, including the leaflets
of Miss Ellice Hopkins, of England,
and many equally good, written in
oar own country
The White Croee work is for men
and boys; the White Shield work is
for women and girta; and the whole
is carried on under the three beads of
preventive, reformatory, and legal
Miss Willard is assisted in this work
by Mrs. Dr. Kellogg of Battle Creek,
Mich., who has special care of moth
ers' meetings and furnishes literature
for use therein; Dr. Kate Bushnell of
Evanton, 111., who is constantly
speaking and organizing; Mrs. Ada
Bittenbender of Lincoln, Neb., a law
yer of fine reputation baa charge of
legislative work for the protection of
women. Early in tbe year, to meet
an urgent demand, tbree series ot lea
flets were prepared, the White Cross,
Social Purity aud Leaflets or Mothers'
Meetings, all of which have met
with great favor, together with Miss
Willard's valuable White Cross Man
ual, and tbe beaatitul pledge cards
for men, women, boys and girls.
Miss Lathbury baa also contributed
tbe first of ber exquisite "Talks with
a Child"—for mothers only—and
Mrs. Boott's "Boys and Other Boys"

little book which mothers can place

Two new series of leaflets have been
issued, (he Signal Lights, tor general
distribution, twenty-one in number,
and the Home Leaflets for Mothers'

The Value of Succulencs.
VVe have known of merino ewea
having lambs in too winter, li ia
strong lambs, and not a drop of m:ik
to nourish them. Five born
one very cold night and all saved by
au all-night vigil, only to die the
next dt.y from starvation. That ex
perience was years ago and before
the improtance of succulent food wan
kn»wn. Last winter merino
bore half-blooded Oxford-down lambs
and had abuudance of milk It was a
question of food. Iu the first in
stance the sheep were well fed and
were in fine condition, but their food
consisted of hay and grain, probably
corn. Afterward other merino sheep
were fed hay and oats, and when
their lambs came the tbe older ones
had milk enough. Oar experience
teaches us that to rear lambs success
fully in winter the sheep should have
plenty of bran and roots of some kind
Turnips are the cheapest, and good
enough for tbe pnrpoHe Beets are
excellent, and will make more milk
than tbe turnips. If nothing else
can be had, then feed potatoes.
There is always more or less of these
which are too small for market' and
they tbey will insure milk if fed lib
erally to the sheep. Toese sugges
tions apply to any breed of sheep,
but are more of a necessity to the
merinos These sheep give very rich
milk, and not so much as the downs
or the coarse-woaled kinds She»»p
should never be stinted in food. UN
less well fed the lamb* will be weak
and tbe fleece light. It is always a
pleasure to feed and care for sheep,
as they respond so promptly and re
turn a double income for the trouble
and outlay.— Our Country Home.

The Bohemian Oat Industry.
Frotn Franklin Spectator.]
Until of late the Bohemian Oats
business io thia or any other agricul
tura district was transacted by nomf
outside agent dealing direct.y and
alone with the innocent granger who
might be green enough to take the
bait. The same price as at present—
slo a bushel—was asked tor the oats,
coupled with a written guarantee to
sell fur the purchaser the double ol
tbe quantity bougnt by him, out 01
the crop to be raised This guaran
tee was generally worthless; the par
ties to it could not be reached, but
tbe notes giveu for original purchase
were always to the tore and could be
co'lected. This uncertainty ot the
guarantee, or rather the dead certain
ty that it was a swindle premeditated
from the start, had a depressing effect
upon tbe Bohemian Oats industry.
Therefore, it seems to have become
necessary to gut up a new plan of
operating. Asrociations were formed
in this county and wherever else it
was designed to work tbe game
The association, composed ot men
known to the community as reputable
persons, were intended to give confi
dence to persons dealing with the
agent. Thei" - names were connected
with the guarantee. But even thif
sort of guarantee did not seem to be
valid in the case of Mr. J. Y Siiijfins,
of Allegheny township, who brought
suit against the Cbapmanvillu Bohem
ian Hulless Oats Association recent
ly-
To speak very mildly, there is
something wrong about the entire
business Intrinsically the so-culled
Bohemian oats are not worth ten dol
lars nor the tenth part of that suui
If sold at that price tne purchaser is
swindled; and if twice the quantity
purchased is sold* tor him by the asso
ciation or syndicate, the operation is
still a swindle transferred to some
body else, it is a bald-faced game 01
gouge all tbe way tnrough, made the
mo:e possible by the sanction of asso
ciations of persons whose greed has
outrun their senses of right and wrong,
or who have thoughtlessly lent their
names to an operation desigued by
crafty and unscrupulous adventurer*
to fleece the unwary. Speaking ot
tbe case of Siggins against the Chap
manville syndicate, our neighbor of
the Evening News justly says, "Lit
tle sympathy can exist for any of tbe
parties to tnis suit." Why should
ttoere be any sympathy in a case
where the people who intended to
gouge tbe general public have only
gouged each other?
Captured The Town.
The village of Johnstown, Monroe
county, Ohio, must contain the green
est set of people on earth if the re
ports of swindling lately d »i.-
there is true. It is said that about
six ago a very slick yountr man
induced VlcGrue Bros. & Bradwiek,
of that place, to pay bim $1 800 for
the right to sell a patent web baiter
A. few days later O'Conner & Sceur
man were caught by another man
with a patent gate hinge, paying $250
for tbe exclusive right in Ltcking
county. A third smooth-spoken geu
tleman came with a wonderful f*n;i: ng
mill. Geo Clark traded hi* small
e'ore, with a $1 000 stock, and a
creamery worth $2,200 for tbe right
of sale in 30 counties. Otber victims
swelled th* fanning mill man's earn
ings to $7,000. After a few days a
washing machine agent came aloog
and readily sold the right to II coun
ties. Licking coanty brintrinir sls'.>.
A fiend with a cyelone fence-making
machine came uext and sold the right
to Cush & Myers fo a S6OO hydrau
lic cider press, 70 barrels of cider vin
egar, worth $6 a barrel and $l5O iu
cash, a total of $1,260.
The amiable gout It-men today load
ed ail their plunder on freight cure
and removed ir. and when it was gone
the victims began to realize that they
had been swindled. It took one car
to carry away the creamery, another
for the cider press, a third for the vin
egar and a fourth for the hardware,
lumber, &c., which had been tender
ed for patent rights.
