we could have such a powerful man
to visit every town and hamlet in the
United States. OH will the day ever
dawn when we will see and know
that its destroying effects are no
more!
We are so glad this temperance
war is on. We hope the fight viii
last until every trace of a saloon and
every drop Of whisky is obliterated
from our land and out of our homes.
Tt is awful to contemplate on the ruin
of so many bright, useful boys, going
down to eternal ruin, making wrecks
of themselves, wrecking their homes,
breaking hearts, and last, but not
least, filling a drunkard's grave
Surely those who do not lend every
help must be those who never had a
son. Surely no father can turn a
deaf ear to this great battle. Fathers,
mothers. Buckle on your Christian
armor. Everybody help TO win the
victory and save our boys. Save
those who are to be our future foun-
dations in churches, officers in society
and homes. Three cheers for the
temperance movement

could not have given it to any one
who would have priced it more than

the many friends who manifested SO
much interest in my behalf / have
enjoyed many nice congratulations
since Friday evening when the train
came in bringing your nice complf-
ment and the check. I will try to
appropriate it to something that I
can cherish as a souvenir of your pa
