Atthe home of slr. and Mrs. S. L..
Gable on the evening of Oct % tbs
Denison W. c. T U. entertained Their
husbands. their Honorary members
and wives
The evening was all that could be
desired as to weather and there was a
pretty general response to the invita-
tions.
The parlors and dining room were
beautifully decorated with Autumn
leaves, cut flowers, ported plants and
notices. Early in the ever ing, at the
Invitation of those having that part OF
the program in charge, all found their
way to the dining room where thew
we're looked after by the young lady
members of the Union in q manner
which seemed to be very satisfactory
As they emerged from the dining
room, conspicuous on thu coat lapel of
each gentleman was tiny white rib
bon bow. This was supposed to indi-
cate they had been there, but as a
white ribbon bow is the badge of the
organization it had still another signif.
icance. and no doubt they all felt much
honored through being permitted to
wear it this one evening.
The remainder of the evening was
spent in social conversation interspers-
ed with games of contest which
afforded much amusement, especially
tee game of Description" which
caused the gentlemen to bring into
service some of their youthful gallant
ry.
After couple of hours spent thus
pleasantly the gentlemen rendered the
ladies a hearty vote of thanks and all
departed
Much credit is due the president
who was the originator of the plan, ana
to the committee on entertainment for
the success of the evening.
The sixty-fifth anniversary of the
birth of Francis g. Willard was OBJ
served in Chicago by a MONDAY meet
ing Wednesday,, October 5. in the
Women's Temple. Flowers from many
States of the union and from Canada,
sent by friends. were piled high on the
platform. Tributes to Miss Willard
were delivered by Miss Jane Adams
and DR.. Howard o. Taylor. The next
day the flowers received were laid on
the tomb of Miss Willard in Rosehill
cemetery.
Day by day the infamy of liquor sell
ing becomes more and more apparent
The tendency, more and more each
day is to condemn the business and
those engaged in it. The man Who
wants to stand well with his fellowmen
or the respectable portion thereof,
must get out of the liquor business.
Worlds Temperance Sunday.
The fourth Sunday in November of
each year has been designated
''World's Sunday School Temperance
Sunday
The highest ecclesiastical bodies of
nearly all denominations have given
recognition to this day. The appoint
ment is also made by the International
Sunday School Convention, through
the international Lesson Committee.
and provision is made for Worlds
Sunday School Temperance Lesson.
The drink curse is world wide and
young people in particular should be
taught that it is crime against the
nation and sin against God. II is
fitting therefore that the subject be
presented from both national and per-
sonal points of view.
We therefore call upon all pastors.
Sunday School superintendent and
teachers, all W. G. T. u. workers in
the Sunday School and all friends OF
temperance teaching in the Sunday
School to make the observance OF
worlds Temperance Sunday. .........a
notable occasion. Let it be the great
annual temperance field day for the
Sunday Schools of the world
