On Thursday Mrs ;. J. c. Downs, the
State President and Organizer, visited the
Pennsgroye Union and found it ia flour
ishing condition. Ia the evening she
spoke III st. Paul's church on total alb
stinence and the work performed and the
work 70 be done by the Unions. Total
abstinence She said was along the line Of
church work and church members could
no longer maintain 4 neutral position ON
the question. She maintained that alcohol
was not needed as or in medicines. Many
women who should be Interested in the
cause were silent because they had money
directly or indirectly interested in the
liquor traffic. Or. Risk some years ago
sounded the first note of warning in his
essay on the effects OF alcoholic liquors
since which lime the cause of temperance
has been marching on until they expect to
girdlc the earth with their white ribbon
this year. She described cases of her own
personal observation Of the evil effects of
strong drink, the work the union had done
in prisons, ending with an earnest plea for
all women to join the unolr and for the
men TO aid them.
Mrs. Downs is deliberate and forciblc
speaker and carries weight of argument as
well as soul and body into her remarks.
Fourteen members and honorary members
joined the Union. Since the Pennsgrove
Union have their Saturday evening public
meetings alternately in the different
churches there has been a good attendance,
to listen to the temperance singing, reading
and speaking. Although there has been
no great number of pledge signcrs yet the
moral sentiment and suason have fell on
fertile ground capable of bringing forth
fruit. I1nnSqr0gc Rec0rd.

The Drunkar.t's Children.

Alas how often are the children Of the
drunkad trained in sin, How unspeakably
touching was a case which occurred in
Lambeth the other day, 4 married WON
an Of twcnty-sx and her child was taken
up for stealing drinking glasses from
tavern; and, in courf, the little child ran
toward her father, Hho, bursting into tears,
said that he worked hard, but all in VAN;
his wife drank all his earnings, and brought
him into debt right and left. Even if they
be not trained in Sin, how fearful is the lot
Of the drunkard's children from the fatal
faint in the blood, the awful hereditary
craving for alcohol, which either drives
them into the same terrible destruction as
their parents, perpetuating the crimes and
miserics Of the world, or else involves the
necessity Of a lifelong helpless struggle,
lest the wild beast Of temptation should
leap ont before them, and hurl them down
with its fatal spring. struggle noble, in
deed, and heroic, and requiring as much
virtue and resolution as would make a
dozen ordinary saints, but one which
makes life one awful and continuous
martydom, almost from the cradle even TO
the grave an0n Fdrrar.
