Ptraace Union in North Carolina
convened Sunday morning at 11
o clock in the auditorium of West
Market Street Methodist Episcopal
church. With a number of dele-
Kates trom the local unions of the
s.ate and the usual congregation of
the church the large audi.oriuln
was filled with Interested people.
The eve.it of the morning was the
annual sermon by Rev. R. L. Davis
superintendent of the North Carolina
Anti-Saloon League, which was not
only an able argument in favor of
temperance, but a very attractive
and scholarly discourse.
Mr. Davis spoke from the text,
Reader therefore unto Caesar the
things which are Caesar's; and unto
Cod the things which are God's.'
and around this tex' he wove a
strong argument for higher moral life
and physical temperance. That the
Women's Christian Temperance
I'nion is the most potent force to-day
in the suppression of the li-quor
traffic, the distinguished speak-er
declared was his conviction, ar-rived
at from observation of the
trend of the question in all its
possess, as he goes about his work
all over North Carolina. He com-mended
the women in their labors
and earnestly urged them not to
leave off the work they had under-taken
until temperance had gained
a world-wide ho'd and men had come
at last to realize the terrible abase-ment
of yielding to the influence of
alcohol.
At the afternoon session an ad-dress
was nrqe by Miss Effie M.

'he central stoiy around which Miss
Lambert elaborated the moral of the
present life and the opportunities
now existing about the women of
the day. Deborah, the prophetess,

pnysical or mental degeneracy could
be traced to the debasing effect of
alcohol. To retain prohibition re-quires
more grace than to secure it
was evidently a warning to prohibi-tionists,
and blind tigers came in for
an especial scourging at the hands
or the woman orator.
Monday was largely given over to
business matters. At the mornin3
session the reports of the secretary.
Miss Elizabeth Marsh, and the
treasurer, Mrs. Ellen J y. Preyer
were presented. These were full of
meat and called forth interesting and
helpful remarks. The secretary's re-port
covered in a comprehensive
manner the work of a year and
dealt w,th progress made In the state
in the cause of temperance. At the
arternoon session the president's an-nual
address was delivered by the
retiring president, .Miss Bula Dixon.
bhort lalks were made by a num-ber
of other women in attendance.
The meeting .Monday night was
held m the First Presbytterlan
church and was one of the most
Pleasant sessions of the convention.
Rev. Melton Clark made a happy-address
of welcome to the dele-gates
»"tl gave high praise to the
women for whfct they have done and
are. doing tor the cause of temper-ance
in North Carolina.
Mrs. Mary Harris Armor made her
second address of the convention
and was heard with great interest
She spoke in commendation of the
manner in which Greeusboro is pre-serving
the prohibition law and said
that this city ranks as first in the
*tate in the effectiveness with which
the state law Is being enforced. Mrs.
Armor undertook to answer the oft-repoted
assertion that "prohibition
iloes not prohibit," by a logical ar-gument
in which she made use of
