Temperance Mass-Meetlng.

The Temperance Mass Meeting
held Oh Turlington's Campgreund
August 3Oth, Slst and September lst'
WAS a success, financially and other
wise. in spite OF bad weather and the
failure OF Rev. Sam Jones to keep his
engagement. OF course a NUMBER OF
persons were greatly disappointed In
not seeing and hearing the Zion" OF
the occasion, but those who heard
one or more Of the four Incompatible
addresses given by Miss Belle Kear-
ney, OF Mississippi, felt no sense OF
loss, and were perhaps moro edineo
than II they had been treated 10
more sensational material. MISS
Kearney Is a woman Of rare person
atty and great power. She is intel
ilectual, eloquent, and enthusiastic,
winning the heart by her sweet
vomanliness while she convinees the
head by her logic-a fine product OF
Southern culture, consecrated to
Christian work.
The immense throng on Sunday
was estimated to be the largest In the
history OF this spot noted in by-gone
ldays for large crowds. Many minis
ters were in attendance throughout
the meeting and by their hearty CO.
operation added inspiration and
helped forward the good cause. Prof
Mezick and his sister by their vocal
solos and duets contributed much TO
the pleasure and effectiveness OF the
meetings. The collections were gen
erous and enough to meet all expen'
> ses. We wish that every member o
the W. C. T. o. could have beer
nresent to hear Of the marked ad
vance along temperance lines ir
9 nearly every part OF our great coun
, ltry. All interested In the cause o

giving. and w. G. T. U. worker
should renew their efforts In view Q
this encouragement.
