ABSTINENCE
LEAGUE FORMED
CoLoRED MEMBERS OF SECOND
BAPTIST CHURCH SIGN PLEDGE
At SPECIAL SERVICES.

The Sunday school of the Second
Baptist church celebrated Lincolns
birthday by forming an abstinence
department to be known as the Lin
coin Gegion." Love carrif1ce and SER
vice will be the slogan Of the new de-
partment. The following pledge ad-
vocated by Abraham Lincoln was
signed by over thirty-five adults and
children Whereas the use Of intox-
icating liquors as beverage is pro-
ductive of pauperism, degradation, and
crime, and believing it is our duty to
discourage that which produces more
evil than good, we therefore pledge
ourselves to abstain from the use OF
liquors as a beverage"
The names of signers Of pledge will
be retained upon an honor roll to be
framed and hung in the church. Du-
plicates of names will be sent to the
general secretary of the National Lin
coin Legion in Westerville, Ohio.
The program consisted of reading
a letter from President Taft on tenn
perance and other interesting numbers
in reference to the life Of Lincoln.
Mrs Helen Downey presided by
of Superintendent Eaves. Rev.
J. Cornelius Reid made the principal
address. Music was furnished by Mrs.
Reid.
