One of the first positive evideucos of the

to consumption, is the knowledge that the
body is throwing off in an undigested
form, the fat that is taken into the stom

there as trnly exists consumption (though
there may not be necessarily consumption
of the lungs at the beginning) as iu aay
case that ever existed.
Lean persons are the only ones who

Tho State Convontiou of the Wrmin's
Christian Tempcrauco Union will be held

The president issues the following call
"After four years of continued prayer nnd
effort in the good ennso of temperance, the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union of
Georgia again return public thanksgiving
for divine blessing upon temperance work,
nod, ns helpers in the work, they coll for
their fourth nimiiol State convention, to be
held in the citv of Macon April 21st nnd
22d, 1886.
‘They invite ono or more delegates from
every woman's temperance society in the
State, whatever name called, and other
Christian women who have the cause suffi
ciently at heart to come nnd learn whnt
women are helping to do in reclaiming hu-
inanity from the depths of intemperance
and degradation, nnd |minting it with hope
to a better life iu this world aud in the
next.
"Pastors of churches are requested to ap
point Indy delegates from their churches
and urge them to nttend this convention,
thnt they may learn our plan of work anil
take home with them such documents
will enable them to organize unions in
their own localities.
“We especially invite delegates from pro
hibition counties, thnt they may not only
tell of its good results, hut learn that tem
perance work is not entirely coiled with
prohibition in their own districts, nnd to
get them to work anil pray with us that our
whole State anil laud may he made free
from the curse of liquor.
"Tbe object of our union is to ‘educate
public sentiment up to the level of total
abstinence; to train the young, reform the
inebriate and hasten the time when dram
shops shall be banished from the streets by
law—the central idea of its work being to
release the body and sonl from thia thrall
■lorn to Katan, and to enthrone Christ as
Redeemer in tho individual heart, and His
spirit in the home and in the Elate.'
“Its motto is ‘For God and Home and
Native Land,' and it is auxiliary to the
National, nnd tbe World'a W. 0. T. U.,
which has for its motto ‘For God and
Home and Humanity.' The orgiuiization
is rapidly growing in membership and in
fluence throughout the world, and daily
prayers living offered by over tyro hundred
thonsund women in our own land that God
would 'deliver our penjile from the evils of
intemperance and tlie liquor traffic.'

manifest in our grand old Htate of Georgia,
which is even now, with God's help and
blessing, shining os a beacon light for re
formation to all tlie nations of the earth.
"Hoping and praying that speedy deliver-
ence tuny be granted from the evil power
that hot so long injured the best interests
of our temporal and eternal welfare, we
ask that the people of Georgia may send us
encouragement and help in doing that por
tion of the work which God has appointed
for women to do.
All delegates are requested to send
their names, as early ss possible—between
this and April 21st-to Mrs. Walter B. UiU,
