W.C.T.U.
. (Contributed). At the W.C.T.U. meeting on Thursday afternoon, keen disappointment was expressed that Parliament had refused to grant the 6 o'clock closing petition.' As one lady said, "Hope deferred make lb the heart sick." We had hoped that our dear' little cornel- of God's Universe, would lead in this mighty temperance reform, but other g';eat Nations have stepped in before Us, and we can only rejoice that a greater enemy than Germany has received sUch a blow as Russia, France, and other lands have given the drink traffic. Tho W.C.T.U. collecting cards for the Y.M.CAs at the front resulted in the sum of £lB 18s 6d, Members are still collecting for this purpose.
