The eloquent temperance lady ora
tor and w. O. 7. U. Evangelist, thrilled
2. 800 people in the Grand Opera House
on Sunday afternoon.
Oui work from the beginning Is for
God and our spirit mighty passion
for saving souls. At a Boston oonven-
ton every one of the 800 delegates had
been a Sunday school teacher.
In Ia years acquaintanceshlp with
W. 9. L. u, Miss Greenwood had not
discovered u single member who was
not also a church member. She re-
viewed the history of the temperance
movement for so years and rejoiced
that the Gospel of Temperance Is now
preached in 800 languages.
One-fifth of the wealth of the coun-
try is owned by churches and church
members.
A census years old showed 20, 900, 600
members, lO3, $50 ministers, 5000, 900
Sunday school children In 100,
churches. But tho faith of the church
Is the greatest power.
Why has not the church used its
great power more effectively against
intemperance? Miss Greenwood's an
swer to her question Is: ut is because
the church In the past has not been
aware of her responsibility. The his
tory OF temperance progress with
thih'otSi5 poiSoIlatiy WAS nero mar
rated.
II is the duty Of the church OF Christ
to combat sin. lntemperanco pre-
sents terrible counter attractions. All
tho sa loons oil this nation in line
with twenty feet front to each, would
reach from Boston to Chicago. The
church should combnt this evil be-
cause OF the effect OF liquor upon the
body and the mind. 1t puts the per-
son In bondage.
The church must combat this evil
because it robs the church and Sunday
school of hundreds of young men, OF
her hope for the future.
The orator gave Moody's vision OF
the devil on the church spiro wherein
all the people were asleep. He also
saw whole legion OF devils In another
church because h lsbund and wife
were Wide awake and praying.
She also sald acommittee had count

She had once visited 81 men prisoners

composed. The deceased. IL WAS after
