Over a half million mothers prayed in this country for years for the day there -would be no legalized saip the' land. God on His throne answered the mother's prayers when all the world was at war. jAmerica should be proud of -the band of mothers that wear the white ribbon as a signal of purity the world around. of America's most wonderfut women was Miss Frances.E. W511ard, president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. While she was not a mother she has her name carved in the- hall of fame, and until time ceases to be her name will be a treasure.
