Correlation of missionary and Temper
ance work The Reasons and
Methods

am very glad to have been ac-
counted worthy TO consider tn" mis-
sionary and temperance work, thcs"
the two greatest organized efforts Of
the women OF Christiandum.
The missionary spirit says, give
Ms the utt"rInost parts of the earth
for our inheritance. The temper.
ancc spirit is beautifully expressed
in the words of our saiuted leader,
Clara Clcghorn Hoffman: 1--WE"
have enlisted for the war, or untll
death gives us honorable discharge. +,
"Blest b" the tie that binds our
hearts in Christian love'-IoNe tor
God and love for humanity.
We are told ii takes two centuries
to transform the sayages int" citi-
2ens: LET the saloon do its work and
il takes but II single hour to trans
form the citizen into Il savage. II
this statement IN true, 1t IL surely
folly to preach the gospel to people
to save their souls and then with
our legalized snloOu ruin both soul
and body. Salvation without tenn
perance IL AZ impossible As light
without the sun.
The Christian women of our land
are organized IN systematic "ndeur-
ar that they may be more effective
in carrying out tho great commits

en hearted, TO bring light for dark
ness, to save the lost, to give beau
~ for ashes, aud to give the peace
that passeth all understanding.
The mission of the temperance
worker, in the words of Frances f..
Willard, is "to ngI.atc, educate, or
ganizo; these nrc the dcH,hless /,
walchwords of success and the
work of the Womnu's Christian |
Temperance Union will not be- Hbat"d .
until the lognli2cd liquor traffic il
from our fair land. our
children s children shall early be
taught 10 take up the slogan, II
give my head, my heart and this
right hand for God aud home aud
very land" and through this agi.
alton, education and organization
shall come victory from the curse
If rum and the sins and SORROWS
hat follow, for light will triumph
Iver darkness
Without knowledge of God, man
links lower and lower in sin and
legradatiOn. The animal nature
dominates aud might Is right; wo-
manhood is degraded, girlhOnd is
