The Bamberg Loyal Temperance
Legion emerged from somewhat of
an inactive state on the afternoon Of
October p, 1909.
Work was not quite so thoroughly
done during the summer months, and
the attendance was not what 1t
should have benin other words,
our best, most active, faithful work
is done during the school months.
It seems to me that this certainly
should not necessarily be the case.
One reason we can say Is the cause
for this partial Indifference is due to
the fact of the constant going here
and there which our Legioners and
lady workers enjoy and therefore
very naturally take their vacation
off,"
Invitations were sent to each mem
Der of our L. T. L. inviting him or
her to meet with Miss Bessie Lee
Black for their first fall meeting.
| Quite a number of children and
| grown folks gathered themselves to-
| gether at this home, and the after
noon seemed to be both prodtably
and pleasantly spent.
The vice president, Nell Black,
took the chair and we had the regu-
lar devotional service, afterwards we
proceeded to the important work of
electing officers by ballot.
I think that afternoon and that
election of officers will be long re-
membered. It was amusing to see
the children vote, and more amusing
and trying to drill them into the cor
rect way of carrying on an election
by ballot. It did seem bit hard for
them to do, since the voting was
done, to the best of our ability, ac-
cording to Roberts Rules of Order
| (simplified) but the boys and girls
were persistent, they would not give
up, and our election was finally COM
pleted.
It was formally decided to have an
L. T. L. Bazaar sometime in Decem-
ber and all who are interested in tenn
perance work in general, and in tenn
perance work for children especially
are asked to contribute something to
this work if it is their good pleasure
to do so.
However, no one is requested to
do this who is not in full sympathy
with our noble work, and who does
not sincerely want to see our cause
advance, and the boys and girls
helped to be able to overpoWer the
evil one when his temptation would
hurl them down.
Any gift will be thankfully re-
ceived-anything salable-and we do
want to have a candy booth.
Passing from the business that
afternoon some games were played
and refreshments were served.
The children bade their hostess
goodbye, assuring her of their genu-
inc pleasure. And, friends, is not
that, enough?
