A TALK WITH
MRS. NEWTON
Lady Who ls Dolng a Great
Work For Temperance.
SOME OF HER EXPERIEN CES
How a MInlstor Wns BroughttoEndorso
Women Speaklng In Publtc. Is
tho Wldow of a Oonfode
. rate Offlcer.
An Intervlow wlth Mrs. W. B. New?
ton, State organlzor of tha W. C. T. U?
who wlth Buch wlnsomeness nnd pathos
moved a goodly audlenoa to tears on
Baturday nlght, was ,vory Interestlng.
Mrs. Nowton ls the wldow ot tlio lato
gallant Captaln AV. B, Newton, of Staun?
ton, and ls probably slxty yearB of age.
She ls a lady ot exoellent culturo and
attalnments and of a modost, unnssum
Ing dlaposltlon and a gontloncss nnd
franltness of domeanor that ls charmlng.
She ls thoroughly ln love wlth her work
and ls meetlng wlth pronounced suocess
In all ports of tho State. Sho says sho
Bhrank from golng on tho platform and
prayed that she mlght not bo called to
go ln thls actlve sorvlce; that sho dld
not seo how she oould spoak ln publlp,
but uiat when the organizatlon called
for her sho was lmprcssed that It was
the call of God and that, trustlng ln
Hlm, sho has been glven strength, nnd
through Hls provldenco has been ln
strumental ln aoelng five thousand wo?
men enllst ln the cause.
SOME EXPERIENCES.
Among the many Interestlng experl
enoes related ls thls unlquo one. Sald
sho: "I waa called upon to speak ln
a church ln a 'Virglnia town, the pistor
of -whlch was opposed to women speak?
lng ln publlc, and while he was not ao
tually opposed to our work he would not
give us any practlcal encouragement.
The church, however, was klndly ten
derod the ladles of the town for our
servlco. Tho mlnlster took a back seat.
Ho dld not wlsh to be embarrassed or
compromlso hlmself, nor dld I wlsh to
embnross hlm for he had a right to hls
oplnlon. At tho concluslon of tho ser?
vlco I asked that he pronounce the bene
dletlon. When he came forward, knelt
besldo me nnd offered one of the most
powerful and effectlve prayers for Ihe
cause and the spoaltor I ever heard, and
ono that has beon a benedlctlon to me.
As ho arose fTom hls knecs he grnsped
my hand warmly and wlth an Inllnlte
tendemess of expresslon sald, 'Slster,
God bless you and your work; you havo
convertod me.' "
Contlnulng, Mrs. Newton Bald: "All
the opposltlon wo encounter comes from
prejndlce or from lack of Informatlon
ns to our organizatlon. There ls noth?
lng fnnatlcnl about the W. C, T. U. Its
lnsplratlon ls ln love for Chrlst and hu
manlty.
SEEK TO RECLAtM.
"We scek to reclalm the wanderer,
help tho wldows nnd orphans ot the
drunkard, encourage and stlmulnto the
woaa, and Inculcate tho prlnclple of to?
tal abstinence from lntoxlcatlng bevcr
ages and also to ald In creatlng a healthy

tho same. There ls very little machlnerv
about the organizatlon. It ls grand nnd
potentlal ln Its very slmpllclty, and
whenever wo get the unprejudlced au
dienco of the people we make frlends."
She says the temperance tlde I3 rlsing
hlgher nnu hlgher. and she has great
falth in the overthrow of the Hcensed
llquor trnflle.
