XOTAHLK DAYS. lively local I'nion is urged to ar miigc toi a gathering of some kind a pai lour social, an evening meeting in a hall, a picnic, or a garden party . on or near 17th February, in com ineinoration ol Frances Willard, for it seems fitting that in all countries we should remember the Founder of the World’s W.C.'iW'. Fed Fetter duvs are useful as means foi gaining r resh members and tor advertising the aims and objects of our organisation, and to this end peisonal invitations might he sent out to ihose who are not interested in, or, it may be, an* even prejudiced against the work. Collections go to the Missionary Fund for the extension and perpetua tion ot ihe piinciples and work of the W.C.T.U. Wishing you all a Happ\ New Tear, \. C. JONES, Dom. Supt. Notable Days. (M OT \ I lONS F ROM MISS \\ lI.LARI). ‘Everything is not jn the Icmpernn< e Refoim, but 1 1»«* Temperance Re form should be in everything.” “Remember th.it onlv the (»olden Rule of Christ can bring the golden ge ~f man.” “ I he happiest thing in life is doing Rood according to a plan.” “The human brain, with its fair, delii .ite, mxstical filaments, is God s night-blonring cereus, its white radi .ini »* forever encloses! and shut away from sight, within the close crept ot : n skull, hut exhaling its fragrance in

jrootrv, anil revealing its deep, j cue heart, in science, philosophy, religion, keep that sacred blossom ever pure, fair, and fragrant, with God’s truth and heaven’s immortality.” ‘ Mcoholic drinks introduce added friction into the machinery of body •>nd mind; b\ their use the individual K handicapped in the rac e toward a higher and more perfect individuality, •nd what hinders one in this rare hinders us all.”

“hot us he great-hearted, rovaln*»tured, suj.erior to all pettiness and narrowness, patient and steadfast for • his we all may be.” Ihe teaching of hygiene ir. the public schools will steadilv become a

means of grace, and the fight for a clear brain which the temperance reform is making, will help to usher in a more religious age than the world has ever seen. 'or onl> when the cobwebs arc all swept away from the soul’s skylight can a man really think God’s thoughts after Him.”

“You must not dream yourself into a character. You must hammer and

lorge yourself into one

“I can not help believing that the world will be a better and happier place when people aie praised more and blamed less; when we utter in then healing tin* good we think, and also gently indicate the criticisms we hope may be of service.”

“Resolved, That 1 will utter no word and convey no thought unworthy of a Christian disc iple

“God made woman with, her faculties, h»*r traits, her way of looking at all gieat questions from the highest to the lowest, and He made her to be a helpmeet for man, and He made* man to be a helpmeet for her; He* made them to stand side by side, suneiowned; He made them .to stand in a republic, as 1 believe, bearing equally its magnificent burdens.”

“The only medical faculty which will he recognised by the happy people of that future which hurries smiling on is Dr. Diet, Dr. Sleep, Dr. Exercise, and Dr. Dress Reform. Commend me to this blessed quartet, who are to-day the heaven-sent allies of the temperance reform ”.

Character is habit crystallized.”

“All strife, in manner, word and deed, grows out of woiidliness; and to this there is but just one antidote, and that is other-worldliness.” “It makes more difference what sort of comrades young folks have than what sort of teachers.” “Prohibition is sure to win, and to win by votes; may God speed the da\ of its blessed victory.” “Women, young or old, who can speak, write, conduct meetings, organise, keep accounts, interest children, talk with the drinking man, get up entertainments, or carry flowers to the sick or imprisoned, are alj pressed into service.”

“Agitate, Educate, Organise, these* are the deathless watchwords of success. *

“If God he with us, we can our country as surelv as Joan of Arc crowned her king.”
