| Some months ago there was Young Men,

other good associations 1t tiourished for only
Il short while. Why did II terminate Il fail.
urr? Simply because the older people and
| members failed 10 attend its regular meetings
They will always come for short Willie ana
| then ease themselves away as quietly as pos
Sible. Whenever young people see ttat oidei
ones are evading doing good work they most
| invariably use their influence against it too.
Where is there Il single instance in the annals
OF history that the young have failed to do
| their duty TO God when led on by their an
ccstors TO do right. We see day after day
where neglect upon the part of the old TO do
their duty leads to the destruction OF the
young. or ,,, +,
our city that has been much benefited by
these temperance unions. Men that had
grown old and gray haired and were slaves to
the bottle after Joining the temperance union
kept their VOWS sacred 10 God and to man.
Where arc the officials of the Temperance

them come forward and prove themselves
men 10 the cause of temperance and to the
cause of Christ. LET them come saith the
Lord We need revival on temperance
and we want IL to come. We sec and feel its
need, so let it come. II you see man drown
ing and see possible ch1nces INC s,cs OF your your
man hangs upon you an everlasting
stigma. Let us have a temperance revival?
