 WHAT THET ARE AND HOW TO C0NDUC3T THEM, 
 
 ^OST of our local W.C.T. Unions have an 
 occasional public meeting. These are 
 considered—and'rightly— mostimportant. 
 They educate the public as to our aims, 
 our objects, and our methods of carrying 
 on Temperance work. They help to fc^m 
 public sentiment. They assist in that 
 perpetual agitation of the subject of Temperance, which is 
 absolutely indispensable to the obtaining of proper Temper- 
 ance legislation— in other words— Prohibition. 
 
 These meetings are, as a rule, patronized by two classes 
 of people, those who are distinctly in favour of Temperance, 
 ftnd (2nd) those who are entirely opposed to it. The first 
 go from friendship ; the second from opposition, or at 
 best, curiosity, 
 
 There is, however, another class in the community, who 
 perhaps read the notice in the newspapers but who neu&rgo, 
 and never would go to a public Temperance meeting 
 The mere mention of such a thing fills them with impatient 
 disgust, not unmingled with contemnt for the unwnnianiy 
 women who so far forgot the proprieties as to make a 
 public spectacle of themselves on the platform. 
 

 'i 
 
 These comprise a large, and as a rule, an influential set 
 of people. Important to the community because of their 
 influence, which is, generally speaking, on the side of the 
 saloon. Not that they are aware of the fact or would for 
 a moment admit it; for what possible connection can there 
 be between polite wine drinking in the home and that 
 vulgar name of a hateful thing— "the saloon." And yet, 
 but for these very people there would, not be so many 
 .saloons. And sometimes— nay— oftentimes, there is sorrow 
 ai^d heart-break in <^se homes, just as there is in poorer 
 dwellings— and the trail of the serpent " Alcohol" is over 
 them all. WeU—JVhat are we going to do ahmit it ? 
 
 I answer, carry the Temperance Gospel into the 
 parlours of the rich, the indifferent, the careless, in tl e name 
 and in the strength of Him who gave courage to the first 
 Ohio Crusaders to enter the saloons and the low groggeries 
 of Hillsboro. 
 
 » There are many subjects which can be much more easily 
 discussed at a Parlor Meeting than any place else. Those 
 topica which relate to the health andmorals of ihe children 
 in the Public School, for instance, can be better introduced 
 to the notice of a gathering of mothers in some home-like 
 gathering in a private house, than is ever possible from the 
 public platform, 
 
 Has 'your Union a pet project at heart, some much 
 needed measure to carry through the Local Legislature 
 ptjiiiwj^, wi oOiiic isauibuiy ruiuriu io ormg 10 the unwil- 
 ling notice-of the To^wn Cauncil? Then^ remeqiber-thfit

 the majority of the women outside of the W.C.T.U, have 
 probably heard of your actions, (if they have heard at all) 
 as a display of pushing presumption, or at best a piece of 
 Quixotic folly! To gain these Sisters then, to win their 
 sympathy and support, you will need to **tell them all 
 about it." And in nine cases out of ten, you will find 
 them ready to give you their most generous' co-operation. 
 
 I have heard lately with great satisfaction of successful 
 Parlor Meetings being held in the interest of women suf- 
 frage—that topic tabooed to the average woman of leisure. 
 Also of the graceful and loving action of a Band of " Y's," 
 Who thought of and carried out successfully a drawing room 
 social for the aged women of their town : those who were 
 left out in the usual course of Entertainments and" whose 
 lives were for the most part dull and gray. These 
 "Daughters of the King,"— arranged to bring the old 
 Ladies' to the Union rooms, where they had a choice pro- 
 gramme provided for their amusement, not forgetting an 
 ample and delicious repast. In atill another town the Y's 
 entertain every Saturday Night in parlors offered for the 
 occasion, the various office boys, messengers and cash boys 
 and employees of diflferent mercantile houses. There is no 
 set programme but informal talks upon Temperance, 
 occasionally Games are provided and the evening is brigh- 
 tened with Singing and Music. There are always Pledge 
 Cards on hand and the results have been most gratifying.

 Share your Pleaswres. The best kind of a Parlor Meeting 
 is that where the best at your disposal is freely offered to 
 tho^e who are sons and daughters of toil Invite your 
 poorer neighbors to enjoy the beautiful and costly things 
 God may have put within your reach. If done in the right 
 spirit and from love to the Master, your own loving and 
 bright welcome will be the choicest treasure of all. And 
 because the liquor traffic is the deadly foe of every home 
 whether of rich or poor, speak out freely to your guests of 
 its dangers and make common cause with them to abolish it. 
 
 To Local Superintendents of Parlmr Meetings I would say: 
 Form a regular plan of campaign for the coming 
 months. Among the members of your union there is 
 surely one or more than one who will give the use of her 
 parlour for the initial meeting, which is so crucial a test. 
 Or possibly some lady, not a member, but friendly to the 
 cause, will consent to have you hold a meeting at her 
 house, and you can arrange with her as to the proportion 
 of invited guests to be under the care of the W. C. T. U. 
 The object of these meetings being to interest those who 
 don't belong, and to set them thinking, if nothing else, do 
 not have too many of your white ribboners. Though the 
 arrangement of all these gatherings is in your hands you 
 need not by any means feel it your duty always to act as 
 Ucivreir» Secure the best talent you have at your disposal 
 and ask the superintendent of each department chosen for 
 the subject of the meeting to prepare a paper or cive a 
 talk on her particular specialty. See that the right Htera- 
 ture is distributed and that tlie music^ etc., is good, and 
 
watch the audience to see what shot goes home, and then 
 follow up that petson and seek to win her. If properly 
 conducted, the interest wiU grow from the first, and there 
 should be no difficulty in obtaining a suitable drawing 
 room or parlour. But, if from any reason this is not 
 feasible, the church parlours or the W. C. T. U. rooms 
 could be used ; only remembering always to keep the 
 xnfarmal nature of these meetings before the minds of 
 those you design to win. And 0, my sisters ! Pray much 
 over your work ! Eemember, it is not so much Temper- 
 ance as that which lies at the foundation of aU Temperance 
 work, which is worth the name of such-viz. that new 
 commandment which He gave us who said "that ye love 
 one another even as I have loved you," the love which 
 '* worketh no ill to his neighbour."
