society would be to the place in which they live. In many of the
counties of Ontario and Quebec, a vice-president or superintendent is
appointed for county work. It would be advisable to correspond with
her on this subject, and an invitation given her to meet the ladies
with a view to organization. In some counties no vice-president has
been appointed, but, because it has not yet been done, let not ladies
be deterred from having a W.C.T.U. Send to the Provincial
Corresponding Secretary for constitutions and plans of work, and then
ask your pastors to announce that a meeting for the organization of a
W.C.T.U. will be held at time and place designated. It is well to see
the pastors of different churches, and solicit their aid in this
undertaking. And it is also wise to spend some time in interviewing
ladies of the different congregations so that there may be a general
interest. A notice similar to the following may be inserted in the
daily paper, as well as announced from the pulpit, a week previous to
the meeting.

"A meeting of ladies in favour of the temperance cause will be held in
---- on ---- at ---- o'clock, when the advisability of organizing a
"Woman's Christian Temperance Union" will be considered. Nearly 5,000
Christian women of Canada are banded together in W.C.T. Unions, for
the protection of their homes, and for the good of society. The
influence and help of the ladies of ---- is needed. Mrs. ---- of ----
authorized by the Prov. W.C.T.U. will address the meeting, on the
history, aims and methods of this work. The presence of pastors is
cordially invited, and all ladies are earnestly requested to attend."
If no such speaker is expected this part will, of course, be omitted.
One of our strongest Unions was organized by a Christian lady of the
town, who had heard and read and thought much of the work of Women's
Christian Temperance Unions. Before the time arrives ask your pastors
