MRS. LAKES LECTURE H
Branch of the Total Abstinence So- ciety Will Be Organized.

Mrs. L. M. Lake, of St. Louis, third vice-president of the Catholic Total Ab- stinence Union of America, delivered a most eloquent address on the subject of temperance at St. Pauls hall last night Preceding the lecture was given an in- strumental selection by Miss Mamie Mo- Poland. Father Murray announced the reception that will be given Mrs. Lake this afternoon, and said the names of the ladies receiving would be announced in the daily papers. He said there would be a meeting at St. Paul's hall tonight at 7:3O o'clock to organize woman's branch of the Total Abstinence society, and OF Saturday morning there would be meet ing of the young people. He introduced Mrs. Lake, who possesses winning per- sonality and spoke in clear voice, and at times became very earnest and elo- uuent She said she did not propose to present sensa tional pictures, but came to present message of love, and appeal to the honor, manhood and womanhood. She desired to awaken a new life. If it was asked why she attacked the evil of intemperance rather than other evils she would reply, because it was the parent of all others. Intemperance is a demon. It causes a man to raise that hand against his wife which should support her. Gladstone said intemperance was worse than war, pestilence or famine. It has destroyed more homes than our civil war. Some men say there Is no harm in moderate drinking, but drunkards gradu- ate from the army of moderate drinkers. Alcohol is a poison, and we abuse our bodies when we take it in our system. Men say they can drink moderately with out hurt. Let them beware. Many trains went over the Cahaba bridge, but the train on the 29th of December went down.
