WORLD’S WOMAN’S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION.
The following letter was received by Mrs Don, and passed on as being of interest to all White Ribboners. “Dear Friend; beloved of us all, “I thank you for your choice and most welcome holiday remembrance. In the New Year just dawning, I pray that God will richly bless our w r ork and workers everywhere. In all the campaigns of the eventful year ahead, to ‘Hold Fast and Go Forward’ is a slogan to inspire our most heroic effort.
“It it not always a sacred experience to come face to face with the first moments of a New Year? Is there not a mystic, inspiring thrill of renewed, dedication to our high task? Far more than any other force excepting that of the united Church, the united womanhood of the world under the banner of the Lord God of Hosts has power to finish victoriously the educational campaign for the uninformed and indifferent, and the political struggle against the united foes of Prohibition. “It comforts me tc think that in our service for the King, we may keep the Christmas spirit upt>eriiioßt in our hearts. We can march to the music of the ‘distant triumph song.’ Isn’t it blessed that the Christmas Song is continuous throughout the year, and that on the busiest or the darkest hour of any day. the listening soul may 'hear the angels sing?’ ” ANNA A. GORDON.
