CLOSING EXERCISES. The W. C. T. U. Meetings at Wash- ington Grove. Special Correspondence of Tae ing Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, Md., Taly 23, 1898. The closing meetings today of Ww. C. T. U. have attracted large audiences. In the meeting @evoted to juvenile work it Was stated that such work was of the hour and for the age; that the pernicious pub- lications befure the young was an evil that must be more fully recognized by parents; that as early training was @ temperate lives, more especial should be taken in the L. T. L. The scientific teaching in public schoo's in as to alcoholic drinks was enforced every state in the Union except fo: was stated; but, unfortunately, such teach- irg was nullified in a measure by the un- fortunaie example in a child's home. Mrs. Boole said that it was worth as much to establish a young man firmly in tem- perance principies a8 to reform a draunk- ard, and the membership are reminded that ability and opportunity measure one's re- sponsibility. Referring to the license law, she said the only good feature in it is the prohibitory one, and the bad feature is the permission to sell. Franchise received her attention. The pla tform meeting of the Anti-Saloon League and the I. O. G. T, of Montgomery county was in charge of Mrs. Hasiup. Mr. C. J, Burdett, past chief templar, made an acdress from’ tne standpoint of ‘his order, and for the W. C. T. U. Mrs. Martin of Washington responded. ‘The workers’ prayer meeting was largely attended, many taking part in prayer and testimony. “Ask and it shall be given you” was the theme. Mrs. Boole gave a Bible exposition at norning service, the subject being Him,” taken from. second verse, _ th chapter, First John. The children’s mecting was followeé by a memorial service to Miss Frances Willard, late president of the W. C. T. U. Miss Margaret Platt sang a solo, and a peem, written by Mrs. Anna Gordon, was recited by Miss Anta Haslup of Baltimore. The final meetirg of the temperance camp was presided over by Mrs. Haslup, and Mrs. Boole gave an address, “Deb in Battle.” The echoes of these meetings are that the expenses attending them have heen met by voluntary contributions, that the leaders are highly pleased as to the daily attendance, the growing interest in tem- perance plans and purposes, the cordial welcome accorded them on these grounds ard the pleasant. surroundings connected with cottage life. The managers of the W. C. T. U. at their executive meeting decided to repeat these meetings the coming year, and are to plan for an extended program and speakers of national importance. The president of the W. G. C. M. Asso- ciation, Dr. M. D. Peck, made the publte announcement that the regular camp meet- ing, under the charge of Rev. L. B. Wil- scn, presiding elder of Washington district, would commence August 2, and continue tor one week. The Rev. Dr. Bristol cf the Metropolitan Kendree Church of Washington to preach “camp Sunday.” Friday, August 5, the Sunday school or- cial service, and the following day will be devoted to the Anti-Saloon League of Montgomery county.
