For years the w. c.. r. U. plan
ned to open reading room in
Princeton. A considerable amount
of money was subscribed for that
purpose, enough to show that the
people of Princeton we're DESTROYS
of having such room, and willing
to help maintain it. Now that a
suitable room can be procured, the
Y. W. G. 7. U. are planning to
open reading room. They have
engaged two rooms in the Odd
Follows block, and intend using
one for games, also occasionally
some light refreshments, and the
other for reading room.
They have sent for the following
periodicals: Review of Reviews,
Cosmopolitan, Success, CampbelPs
Illustrated Monthly, Curkey's
Home Journal, New Voice and the
Rams Horn. The officers of the
"Y" are greatly encouraged with
the success they are having in
soliciting funds. For few hours
work they have $13 cash and $7.75
to be paid each month. Miss
Blanche Byers, as president of the
"Y" is chairwoman (ex-o&cio) of
the work, and will gladly confer
with any one regarding the plan.
Donations of books, fresh papers
and magazines, left with her will
be used to the very best advantage.
Several members of the Odd Eel
lows lodge have expressed will
ingness to help in the important
work, and it is through their influ-
ence that the work has heen started
with promptness enough to secure
the rooms. Rev. Gratz and others
have donated periodicals and a
book shower is being planned.
Revival meetings are now being
held in what was formerly one Of
the largest still houses of the Snow
Spring distillery in west Tennessee.

Out of two thousand criminals

In Denmark drunkard receives

A bill to give full suffrage to

Readers of the New Voice are
urged to give prompt and vigorous
attention to the movement on foot
to abolish the International Quar-
terly Temperance Lesson, which
reaches twelve million Sunday
school scholars. In 1890 Francis
Willard secured the Inauguration
of the temperance lesson, and
now three prominent men on the
committee whose names are we'll
known, are helping on the con-
spiracy to defSaud the youth of the
temperance lesson. Rev. A. E.
Dunning, D. D., wants the lesson
abolished because it ''breaks in''
upon the series and gets the child
ren's minds away from godly
things. How very human this
sounds! Peter taught that temper
ance came before goodness. First
faith, then virtue and knowledge,
then temperance; and we are assur-
ed that incorporate people do not
seek goodness, and we plead for
the lesson to remain as it is, and
favor adding more faith, temper
ance, knowledge; that our children
as they learn these things, may
grow into godlike men and women.
Rev. A. F. Schauffler is pictured as
sitting in his New York office with
cob pipe in his mouth, reitterating
the statements made by DR.. Dun
ming. It would seem that these
two learned (?) men could find
only this one fimsy excuse for
throwing out the temperance les
son, and we doubt their ability to
ind a single reasonable excuse. DR..
Potts, chairman of the committee,
asserts that tharo aro MT ono,,ob
