I reads the COnter.Jonrral, ledge; 1 seed IL
Whsr wimm min folks war goin' about In,
whisky shops Ter pray:
They sing q song an pray a prayer, an Try
tar drive wedge
BY askin' men to sh.t thar shops an sigr
thar timperancepledge.
1t looks like sorter crowdin' things, an
ledge, the fac is, here, :,
That wimmin overleap the mark an gil
out ov thar sphere.
When Christian wimmin hev to 60 Il
whisky shops ter pray,
1t looks like wasin' words on men, an
THROWN time away.
The cause may be good one, ledge the
wimmin may BIZ right,
As long rs rye an corn Is raised men will
GIT drunk an hight.
The only way to stop this thing, as sure as
Jes let the farmer plant more wheat, and
less o. ~ g an corn.
Ell wimmin want to do good works, Jes LEI
'em Irame law,
An let the legislator chaps hiring whisky
By s. oppin' men from making it they'd
Then many a man wouId git a taste ov
heaven instid ov hell.
All ledge. I'd like ter know one thing
what good kin wtmmin do,
While men who make 1t &c 10 church an
Christian lives pursue,
They'll pray thar prayers, an sing thar
songs, an when the Sundays Ger,
They'll make an sell that whisky sir, an
kill 'em by the score.
Let lovely wimmin meet alone in holy
They'll feel an know the Lord viii hear
thar every song an prayer,
An rot 60 round to whisky shops, whar
Sat,ns children roam
An laugh an swar an drink, an say
YOU'D better be at home"
Now, ledge, If wimmin want to see those
whisky drinkers roam
In paths OF sober manlines1, let EN- begin
at home.
A gentle word, look or deed, 10 Loved
ones" who are there,
May do more good to save man than they
can do with prayer.
When husbands, fathers, brothers, sons,
begin to run at night,
They must see things at0Gy from home more
nlaQsjn' tn thar sight
Man loves has home, his family too, an few
would ever roam
Away from both an take to drink" eff all
was right at home.

Of he'd o5Iv sion am think

How many, too, are drunkards now that
