One generous w. C. T. U. Woman
has promptly responded to this
call. Are there not others to whom
the Lord has given means, or if
not money, earnest hearts, and
willing feet that stand ready to go
out and secure these subscriptions?
Don't forget dear friends while
you are spending literally for git is
to those who need no proof of your
loyalty, whose homes are already
beautiful with all that art and lit
erature suggest-that there stands
one knocking at your door aski ng,
not only your sympathy, but your
help, a friend who has been loyal
to you and to whom you have
pledged support.
Shall that friend knock in vain ?
In your Christmas remembran ces
don't forget the FREEMAN. If you
already take it yourself, send it
to some young man struggling
with his appetite. Send it to som e
poor woman whose heart is made
to burn with sympathy for the
cause by the wrongs she has borne
from the saloon curse, but whose
pocket is drained by its ravages.

The liquor traffic is like a great
Rock, that has fallen on a crowd
ed thoroughfare. Under it are
writing in agony the mothers,
wives and daughters of our towns
and cities.
Christian Women of West Vir-
ginia, dare you put aside the
Macedonian" cry for help, in this
Temperance work that is ringing
through the valleys and over the
mountains of our promising young
State. .
For the sake of the mothers
whose lives are cursed and whose
hearts are breaking, listen to the

Diary of the Rumseller.

MoNDAY-Took Ragged Bills last
dime fer whisky.
TUEsDAY.-Had a visit from
Charlie Piper, who swore of three
months ago and signed the pledge !;
gave him three drinks on tick.
WEDNEsDAY.-That poor nerv-
GUS fool, Dick Plaster, who gets
wild and nervous after one drink,
came in to-day sold him a quart.
P. Shear he killed his wife In
a drunken rage.
THuRsDAY-Johny Slogans wife
begged me never to sell another
drop to him. She cried till prom
ised. P. S.-Sold him enough this
very day to make him smash fur,
niture and beat his children-ha!
hal ha! Business is business.
FR1DAY.-Phil Carter had no
money, took his wife's wedding
ring and silk dress for an old bill !;
sent him home gloriously drunk.
SATURDAY.-Young Sam Chap
took his third drink to-day. [
know he likes it, and will make a
speedy drunkard, but gave him
the value of mis- money. His faith
er implored me to help him to
break up the practice before it be-
came a habit, but told him if l
didn't sell it some one else would.
SUNDAY.--Pretended to keep the
Sunday law to-day, but kept open
my back door. Sold beer and wine
to some boys, but they'll be asham-
ed to tell of it. Bet my till is full
Ter to night than the church baskets
are.
N, B.-My business must be re-
spectacle, for real gentlemen pat
ronize my bar-and yet, l guess |
won't keep a diary, for these facts
look very queer on paper.--Gospet
Banner.
If this days record looked queer
on paper, what will the life record
of the saloon-keeper be, when on
the Day of Judgment in the face of
men and angels he must not only
confront the records and his victims
but the anger of an outraged and
avenging God. And how shall he
spend eternity-pouring over the
diary of each of these victims he
has despoiled?
How shall he bear their fierce
denunciations as they gnash upon
him?

Going to Exprise Father.

The other morning before the
fire sat our half dressed six year old
boy trilling the scales in most
wonderful way as if rehearsing for
an imaginary "Musicale."
Hurrying him up, with the warn
ing that he would miss his break :
fast. He replied "Mother you
don't know what I'm doing, or you
wouldn't say that; l am making
song that I'm going to exprlse
Father with Christmas morning"
Then came to me like fash the
thoght. Oh the dear boys throug b.
out this land who have brought care
and anxiety to parents by their
waywardness; if they would only
make a resolve for better life,
that would be joyful surprise to
both father and mother on Christ =
mass morning. If they would be-
gin that day by turning their
backs upon the saloon. How many
homes would be filled with thanks
giving and glad surprise. That
only expect sorrow and gloom!
Boys want you eaprise your faith
er too?

Pass the Petitions.

Sisters of the w. C. T. u, you
who have been praying for tenn
perance ths-opportunity has come
for some practical work. Petitions
are being sent out all over the
State for the signatures Of voters,
asking the submission Of a Prohibi-
tory Amendment.
There are very few women who
can not spare few afternoons TO
the work of securing the signatures
of the voters in her town or neigh
borhood. Where there are Unions,
district the territory and appoint
women whom you can depend
upon to canvass thoroughly her
division. Then promptly return
your petitions to D. D. johnson,
Parkersburg, W. Va.
Any desiring these petitions can
secure them upon application at
the FREEMAN Office.
Don't put this matter off. There
is no time to be lost. If we can't
vote for this amendment, to US is
committed the equally responsible
task of influencing and securing
votes in it's behalf.

Notes and Comments.

A correspondent of the Richie

at White Oak:
"The woman's temperance union
of this place seems to be doing con-
siderable good and is exciting
quite an interest. We hope it may
still grow"
Francis Murphy, the great tenn
perance orator, after an absence of
eight years from Pittsburgh, has
again commenced war on the liq-

GRAND RECORD OF THE M. E. CHURCH.

GRAND RECORD OF THE M. E. CHURCH.
/ was sorry last Sabbath that my
note book was at home, instead of
at church with me, l wanted to
give you an extract from sermon
preached by DR.. J. E. Smith, D as
tor of the 4th Street M. E. Church.
1t was one of a series of Centennial
Sermons. He referred in glowing
terms to the fact tnat this church
of ours had always spoken, with no
uncertain sound on the subject of
African Slavery. Away back in
the early days the Church had re-
quired her ministers to give free
dom to their slaves. 1t was found
that this would not be done. on &C.
count of the State laws of that
time, nevertheless it was a law of
the church. Likewise on the
question Of Temperance.
From its very Foundation the
Methodist Episcopal Church has
been a total abstinence society, not
only that, but prohibitory society
as well. No member of the M. E.
Church, who is a loyal member,
dare traffic in liquor of any kind.
Methodism means prohibition.
Prohibition by the Legislature of
the State.
We trust the Methodists scatter
ed through West Virgiaia will be
loyal to their church. Every body
grants US license for little self
congratulation at this time, as we
expect to do it once in one hund.
red years.

Stand by Your Color Bearer.

The Temperance papers through
out the country, came out of
the late contest with naught save
their honor left. ... -
Immoveable in what seemed to
them. the right, they have been
the target of disappointed political
nanipulators, on both sides. d.,
The FREEMAN has been no excep-
ton to the foregoing rule; and
though it has stood unfinchingly
through the hottest of the fight,
for the homes of West Virginia; it
has given offense to some Of the in
mates of these homes, because they
have construed its position into a
menace of tn cir respective politi-
cal parties. For this we are sorry;
both on account of their alienation
and the mistaken policy of putting
party interests, before home inter
ests.
The FREEMAN was established to
Work for, FIGHT for prohibition; to
this end it has assiduous!y address
ed itself in the past four years ;
and It saw no reason, or occasion
to vary it's policy in a presidential
campaign.
Unlike political papers or even
temperance papers in States where
the prohibition forces are organic
ed; the FREEMAN has had no Or
ganic support. 1t has depended
solely on the loyalty of those pro-
Tossing allegiance to the cause it
championed.
Many of these have felt them
selves aggrieved, because it has
failed to adopt and promote their
peculiar political views and have
withdrawn their patronage. Some
who have been loudest in its praises
hitherto, are now bitterest in their
condemnation.
And it is left to those who, with
eyes fixed upon the goal of Consti-
tutional Prohibition, and refuse to
look behind at party interests, to
stand by thsir color bearer.
Again to the women of the w. G.
T. U. we come, asking from no per-
sonal consideration; but for the
sake of the cause to which you
stand pledged-lend the FREEMAN
your aid in this its hour of need.
You can do this in either an indi-
vidual, or organized capacity.
A proposition is now before the
people to secure one hundred
friends who will pledge themselves
to secure 10 yearly subscribers in
