are waking up to the fact that pledge of total
abstinence is q need both for themselves per-

men with whom they associate. Recently, in
La Grange, Georgia. she pledged l35 young
ladies. In Macon, she added 35 to the Y's of
Macon College, and organized Union of go in
the suburbs. During three weeks trip, she
took over 500 pledges. She was invited to
speak at the Pratt mine prison near Birming.

the bright and chesry mission room OF the
prison, we were surprised to see upon the
blackboard, written in most beautiful text,

on another board, "Sick and in prison, and ye
came unto me-" One of the lady teachers said
to me. "The young man who wrote those
texts, shaved of his whiskers, SO you should
not recognize him." but did. and I remem.
