which other organizations such as the
one he represented had grasped and
made their own In the opinion of the
speaker, the greatest work that either
organization could possibly do was to
reclaim the thousands of young men
who yearly go TO their ruin because OF
TIE curse of drink and evil assocfa-
tions. He named a number of organ
izations such as his own, the church,
a number of fraternal lodges and 9th
crs which arc trying to save young
men, but he said that there is still Il
great field for added labor and he felt
the w c. T. L. could aid in the work
