' The seventeenth annual executive of the p. lyyic-jxaiionjuouncn m v omen- ui me uuueu States is one of the most important meetings a .fj the History of the Council, as the quin-- , IVVquennisl of the International Council of XkXffcty&men is to be held in Toronto, Ontario, 14 ' ..' . - il tO - ai -- C, quoting froin'the constitution adopted at the organization. the women of the United States sincerely believing that the best good of our homes and nation will be advanced by our own greater unity of thought, sympathy and purpose, and. thatan ..organizedmovement of women will best conserve the highest good of the family and the state, do hereby unite ourselves in a confederation of work-ere committed to the overthrow of all forms of ignoranqe and injusiice, and to the application of the Golden Rule to society, custom, and law,. "This' federation shall be called the Kational Council of Women in the United States. Council is organized .in the interest of no one propaganda, and has no power over the . organizations which constitute it, beyond that of suggestion and sympathy: therefore, no organization voting to enter this Council, shall thereby render itself liable "to be interfered with in respect to is complete organic unity, independence or manner of work,' vr be committed to any principle or method of any other organization or to any act or utterance of the Council itself, beyond compliance with the' fermsof this constitution." There are seventeen Kational and nine Local Councils affiliated with the Kational Council of Women of the United States, representing over one million and five hundred thousand : - women. The work of the Kational Council' has been along many and varied lines, some of which are divorce' reform, equal pay for equal work, dres3, education in citizenship, domestic science, social peace and international arbitration, social purity, and 'care for defective and deformed children, equal standard of morals, tuberculosis, political equality and art and literature. Each subject is in charge of a competent standing committee who will report the progress made at this . executive. NOTES AND NEWS. The suiTragists of Kew York City had -- - seven polling places open on election day, at which women were invited to cast their votes. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt was among the first to do so. In all, 1977 votes were cast, most of them for Taft. written by 31rs. liurapnry wara loan American magazine, advocating political work' by ' and condemning women in them for desiring the imperial franchise. Taking this as his text', without endorsement or repudiation, the Chancellor said: 4The is principal needof - thje hour information as local-matter- s, to how far the- sufffagehas'been'extended to women, and its results in municipal bet- terment. What high positions of responsibility has it given to women? Where should women be placed, and what are their duties in civic action?" He added: J'ln a city like ours, full of institutions and hospitals for women and children.it is a crying shame that no woman in authority ia on the Health Board Commission, none on the Board of Education, etc." He advised the Woman's Law Class to make a special .study of the legal aspect of the subject, and to compile-thlaws and statutes so as to make a text book of information. ESSAY ON PRAYER. "Prayer is the soul's sincere Smith the Prophet was desirous of becoming' church member but did not like the" contention that then existed among the different churches, and it was through prayer that He gained a light and knowledge of this dispensation. Christ was desirous of doing the will of His Father, and He realized the fearful ordeal that was in store for Him. He went apart from His disciples, the third time, praying most fervently that the Father would let the cup pass by, and His sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground, but- He said: "Not my will but thine be done." An angel appeared from heaven to strengthen and comfort Him; He found His disciples sleeping for sorrow, He said unto them, "Arise and pray that ye enter not into temptation." He knew that it was their hour, and an hour of darkness, he prayed for Peter that his faith would not fail him arid that he would be a strength to His disciples and brethren. The inspiration that comes to us after prayer is what demands'our utmost attention, put it into practice and work for what we pray for, faith and works go together, prayer will strengthen our faith, a practical people is what we are striving to become. Faith and works are two hands clasped in prayer. Before Christ appointed Hia disciples He went out into the mountain and continued all night in prayer, arid that shows there is more need of diligent action in every time of need. ,v"- Rinta Snow. desire-'Vosep- h .a- - -- Judge Lindsey of the Denver Juvenile Court writes on "The Public Schools and Morality ' in the'Housekeeper for November.
