Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1893-11-09

A report OF our State Convention
recently held at st. Paul will be read
at the meeting Thursday: it is very
interesting, you will want to hear it,
and every member OF our Union
should hear it.
The ". {. II. u. will meet at the
home OF Mrs. A. B. Nelson, Thurs
day, Nov. 9th 1T 4 o'clock.
We would be glad to see all the
melubers present. A cordial invita-
ton is also extended to any others
who may wish to come.
DO you read the temperance col
umn? Ii not, we would be pleased
to have you do SO, even il you do
not agree with us OH all points. You
might accidentally find there some-.
thing good. We have some trouble
in finding material and the editors
have kindly given us the space free Of
charge therefore we feel anxious to
have the column read.
Do we realize that the w.. C. II. u.
is i'm organization working for God
and Home and Every Land, and
that there are over forty depart
ments Of work taken up? Here are
few Of them: Scientific Temper
ance Instruction in Schools; SIS.
Temperance Lessons; Prison work;
L. I. L.; Franchise; Mothers meet
ings; Health; Heredity; work among
Germans; work among Scandinavia
AIS; and Proilib.t.on:thut is, the an
Initiation of the saloon. This is
only IL few, but we think enough to
give you some idea oi the work we
IRE attempting to do.
Every Christian ought to he inter
ested in these things, and truly the
temperance W DIRK is the work o. the
Church, and we are glad to know
that the church does just sncl, work.
Here is ali extract taken from IL re-
port from the state OF Texas:
"Churclles OF every denomination
are denouncing progressive cuchre
playing Tor prices. AS The Rev.
Beckwith OF the Protestant Episcop-
al Church, in Horston, Texas, said
to his congre;sation not long ago, IL
fail to see the difference between play
ing in IL purlor for a price which re-
presents Il certain amo::n OF money,
or playing i. {, room down town for
-..rc amount Of money" The only
difference is. the surroundings may
he Of Il more refining nature in the
pnrIor. Another hoprfu! sign is the
agitation OF the subject Of using un-
fermented wine at the supper OF our
blessed Lord.
We are also glad to know that at
the last National S. S. convention
it was decided to continue the use
OF the Quarterly Temperance lessons
in our S. S.
Our National superintendent of s.
S. work was prevented by sickness
from attending this convention SO
the w. G.. II. U. did not take such an
active part in securing the lessons us
it might otherwise, but we are truly
thankful that the lessons were rc.
tanned.
Surely all things work together
for good to them that love the
Lord.
Shame OH that member Of the last
:. S. Convention who, thOugllhepro-
fessed to be IL Christian yet dared to
say TINT .'the Bible WAS SO barren in
temperance teaching he thought it
would be hard to find lessons.
Do you think he quite knew his
Bible us he ought? find temperance
lessons? indeed! yes:-and we only
have one each quarter, thai makes
four i'll enc year. And to not be well
enough acquainted with the Bible to
know it is possible to find SO many!
We hope that man may know where
Of lie speaks the next time he at
tends q S. s. Convention.
