U. of Huron County was held in Knox Presbyterian Church, Goderich, on July 4th and 5th when 18 departments of work were reported. Departments of work were conducted as a School of Methods by the Domin- ion President, Mrs, Gordon Wright, of London, who was also Convention speaker, Rev, E. G. Powell reported on Law Enforcement. It was recommended that we see that no children attend moving picture shows and advised that Pool rooms be looked after. 95 ser cent of hie practical help came from the W. 0. T. IT, Report of Moral Education depart- ment showed that much work was being done by means of distribution of literature, mothers meetings and kindly and helpful interest shown in lending a heli-ing hand to the young who are on the downward path, It is earnestly urged that mothers avail themselves of that God-given privilege to train the Iittle child from earliest infancy to keep their bodies pure and clean and not allow them to go out and learn from their companions on the street in the vilest form the sacred things pertaining to life. Never in the history of the world was there greater need for work along moral educational lines. G. M. Elliott addressed the Conven- tion on Child Welfare and stated that while the W. 0. T. U. had done much work along this line they were asked to do more. Many reports are coming in of boys and girls going the down- ward path and Ohristain people are asked to lend a helping band in trying to aid them, not in the lofty patroniz- ing spirit but in the Christ -like manner of He whe bath said, "I came not to call the righteous but sinners to repen- tance." At the evening meeting Mayor Muuning gave an address of Welcome to the delegates and the Ministrial Association also brought greetings. Mrs, Gordon Wright gave an address on "Woman's Suffrage." She congra- tulated the worsen on their enfraneh• isement and said that no longer were they classed as idiots and criminals and as being unfit to vote. She re- ferred to the heart tragedy that always comes from the liquor traffic but the young will never know that tragedy if the electorate do their duty. Men are proving themselves good sports by bearing with us since we were given the ballot. When God created our first parents in the Garden of Eden, he created thein male and female and said have dominion. We aro just get- ting back to where God intended we obould be. Woman's kingdom is jest as high as man's. It rests largely with tate mother what the future race will be. The French women have novel. flinched or faltered, When Serbia needed women as nurses the suffra- gettes went to Serbia and contended with vermin, dirt and typhus fever. The women of Serbia said to the men, go to the war and we will bear your munitions. Women have entered mato their kingdom. Mrs. Wright was listened to with attention. A Conteet for vocal music and elocu• tion followed, 12 contestants taking part. Mies Mildred Brown, Blyth. won the Gold Medal for singing and Miss Reinhart, Goderieh. and Jamce Allan, Wingham, were ties in Elocu• tion and each received gold medals, I'roceede of contest $15.20.
