of the latter. It was during her presidency that the campaign was on which won for a period of three years, 1886–89, State Constitutional Prohibition. Into this, she threw all of her energies, as she did in 1887 into the effort to secure state suffrage for women. Through all the years she has been keenly interested in these two reform movements, and has lived to see both realized nationwide. After giving up her state office in the W. C. T. U., she was appointed, through Miss Willard's influence, National Evangelist. This gave her credentials to speak for the cause wherever she might be. As a sample of her activities we quote, “For several years I had the work connected with the Presidency of the Rhode island W. C. T. U., speaking once or more every Sunday, attending frequent conventions, keeping track of work at Headquarters and the interests of the local Unions, editing a semimonthly edition of the Outlook, and the monthly Missionary Helper.” It was in 1886, that Burlingame resigned her position as President of the W.M.S. and January, 1887, became editor of the Missionary Helper. This position she filled for eight years, adding new departments to the magazine. In 1889, she was a delegate to the General Conference from the Rhode Island Free Baptist Association, that being the first year when women were sent as delegates to that body. In 1890, she was licensed to preach by the Rhode Island Free Baptist Ministers' Association. In the autumn of that year, at a meeting of the Board in Brooklyn, she was elected travelling agent for the W. M. S. For a year and a half Hillsdale, Michigan, became her home, traveling twice from Maine to Dakota, encouraging auxiliaries, organizing new ones, visiting yearly and quarterly meetings, preaching everywhere the Gospel of an “Applied Christianity.” At the General Conference held in Minneapolis in 1883, women were made members of the Executive committee of the Foreign Mission Society. Burlingame was not only made a member but one of its vice-presidents. She continued a member until the F. M. S. was merged into the General Conference Board. About the time, the Methodists refused Frances Willard a seat in their General Conference, Free Baptists decided to grant women representation in their highest legislative body. Accordingly, several women were elected members of the General Conference which met at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, in 1889.
