Unsuitable appetite, going down to ever
lasting ruin ADD d isgraee. What had
become of that popular pastor over
yonder in one of our fashionable New
England towns, was asked of a friend.
Oh, don't you know what has become
Of him? He yielded to the allurements
of the communion wine, which he slipped
and slipped until he is now bound in
chains in one of the public institutions in
a little out of the way village.
A lawyer friend of Weep President
Colfax (Colfax was a total ~abstainer, one
of his brave utterances from which a
poem was written, 81 dare not drink y
near the close of his iguominous career
as a drunkard gave in letter to Schuyler
Colfax, the after wretchedness through
which he had passed. All sprung fro IN
the grain of the seed sowing of intern
perance.
There are $50, 900 saloons in this
country. 1t takes 1000, 900 boys every
year to fill the ranks of the marching Cor
fallen) army of drunkards.
Mrs. Bullock spoke of recently ad-
dressing 300 boys in a Sabbath school.
She has learned to draw boys out by
asking questions. She asked how many
cigarettes may be bought for a cent. A
number OF the boys said two, and from
two to five matches. What are the
matches given for, was ask ed. One or
two said, "to light them," but more
said, 80 mother aoon't know we smoke
them"
Rum chocolates as a bait to the boys
appetites as a stroke of missionary work
were spoken of. These chocolates are
given out free to school boys "by the
man that sells the rum" in many of our
towns and cities.
Perhaps you don't have the cider
trouble in this town, said Mrs. Bullock,
but l find it in most every part of your
State. From the statement made in
Rev. Senser's prayer and from many
other authentic ways the cider trouble is
the bane of this community, and there is
10 law on the statute books of New
Jersey to prevent cider selling, nor drug
selling, with which the cider is un-
doubtedly charged. What are We going
to do about it? Is there no man among
Jul honored A~ssemblymen in South
Jersey brave enough and true enough to
see to it that such a bill is introduced
into our coming Legislature {? {
Mrs. Bullock spoke of the claim made
by the manufacturers of root beer that
there is nothing in the ingredients that
will intoxicate; but, just as soon as the
required amount of sugar, water and
yeast are added to the package which
you buy ''of all druggists" for 25 cents,
the fermentation begins. In seven days
after it is made it con tains as much
alcohol as lager beer, in ten days more
than lager bear, etc. These facts have
been vouched for by careful tests by dis
interested chemics, and by intelligent
testings by our own faithful W. G. T. U.
workers, not the least of whom is that
woman whose name is becoming familiar
to every school boy and girl in this and
many countries, Mary H. Hunt.
There are 16, 900, 900 children under
Scientific Temperance Instruction. The
first temperance physiology was pre-
pared by her neighbor, Mr.. Steele, in
Elmira, N. Y. Mr.. Barnes said at the
late National Convention at Buffalo, that
they have sold 5000. 900 of their temper
anoe physologies, sending them all over
the world.
.'All around the world the ribbon
white is twined."
Police Matron Work was mentioned,
and the sin of omission-''passing by on
the other side" was spoken of.
Mrs. Bullock said the question SO
often asked of white ri bboners: ''What
are you doing anyhow ?" could easily be
answered by the sisterhood even though
broad illustrations could not be given
Public sentiment is being everlastingl y
educated and every local union is one OF
the foundation stones upon which the
Great Worlds and National Conventio ms
are builded. The one cent per member,
which goes to the Worlds and the nine
cents to the National, all helps to carry
forward the work. Therefore, press on
