On one such occasion, relates

a Vermont widower had been mar

to have formulated his observations
in the following strain:
Friends and neiehbors, you all
know that our good friend here, who
has just done me the honor to
share my joys and sorrows, is some
thing of a stranger to our town. Be-
ing a mere man, | feel that | need

Educating Public Sentiment.
The following article, by Rev. o.
R. Miller editor of the National Ad-
vocate New York emphasizes a great
truth which our w. C. T. U. wom-
en- should heed. We believe with
Mrs. Miller that there is no better
way of educating public sentiment
than through the medal contests.
Every Union where it is at all pos
sible should hold medal contests
Mrs. Adilin E. Cannon. national
superintendent of these contests,
stated at the late National Conven-
ton in Denver that during the past
year $1,000 had been realized from
medal contests.
Medal contests are valuable in
helping to educate public sentiment
on the temperance question. Many
people will come to a church or a
hall to hear young people recite
strong temperance selections who
would never 60 to hear a temper
ance lecture. And many parents
will 60 to hear their own boy or
girl speak at these contests who
would not even 90 to hear some
other persons child speak Thous-
ands of people have heard their
first temperance lecture at these
contests. AS the selections recited
are taken from the writing of the
greatest temperance writers and
speakers of the country, the audi
ence listens to the strongest tenn
perance sentiments that can be
produced.
We believe the repeating of these
contests, all over the country of the
great speeches of Cough, Finch,
St. John, Balm, Frances Willard and
others, will prove in the years to
come, when history is written to
have been a mighty factor in bring
ing about the overthrow of the Sa-
loon, winch Is sure TO be accom-
pliShed. Many a man has been set
free from prejudiceS against the
temperance cause by listening to
these splendid selections delivered
by the people of the community.
1t is the uniform testimony from
every place where these contests
have been held that they have had
great influence in creating senti-
ment in favor of total abstinence
and against the saloon. The have
been helpful in warning the young
against liquor drinking, and in
arousing the voters to do their duty
at the ballot box. Through the in
fluence of these contests in many
places, drunkards have been re-
formed, whole communities have
been improved and no license has
been carried at city elections.
