They have six or more Missionaries constantly at work, and a "General
Superintendent, who acts as secretary, and, with the assistance of
ladies of the Committee, takes charge of special cases, which from

perhaps, than many others, but a work very much needed, and a service
requiring much thought and patience, Christian sympathy and tact.

The Woman's Union of the Church of England Temperance Society, with
Rev. Canon Ellison as President, is also in a flourishing condition.
Eighty-five branches have been formed, also a "Servants' Branch," a
"Branch for young women engaged in houses of business," and a "Branch
for girls at restaurants and railway refreshment bars."

Drawing-room meetings have been held with great success, some in the
mansion of the Duke and Duchess of Westminster, and in the drawing-rooms
of Lord and Lady Brabazon.

The Working Women's Teetotal League, which has also been in
operation for about eight years, has for its object to spread
teetotalism amongst working-class women. Many thousands of pledges
have been taken, and benefit societies have been formed under the
guidance and supervision of this society.
