W.C.T.U., or of any special work we have in hand, inviting our
friends to come and visit the Union, even if they do not wish to
become members. Let this be done in an offhand way, and not in this
style, "Now I've come to tell you how wicked you are to drink wine,
and I want you to sign the pledge and join the Union." People cannot
be scolded or driven into a new faith, but must be won by patience
and love.

The Loan Library of the Union ought to be kept in constant
circulation among those who are not members, as well as among
ourselves. Mrs. S.M.I. Henry's "Voice of the Home," and "Mabel's
Work," have exerted an influence for good over the women of our
country, and in one community the reading of these books led to the
formation of a W.C.T.U. which has done good work, and rendered
valuable assistance in the Scott Act contest. The circulation of
works of this kind with those of a more solid nature will secure
deeper thought on this subject, and a stronger desire to unite with
the women of our land in their efforts to banish the liquor traffic.

We can also be loyal to the Union, and to every member individually.
While we see each other's infirmities more plainly perhaps than we
see our own, let us cover them carefully, as far as we may, from
those not in sympathy with us, and let the letters W.C.T.U. be indeed
a bond of union.

one of our great wants, perhaps the greatest. We have gifted ones in
our societies, who have it in their power to make its pages
interesting and instructive, but we lack the necessary funds. The
