Mrs. Greene, National Chalk TaIker.
and W. c. T. U. Organizer Gave
Two Excellent Lectures.

Mrs. Maude Lorene Greene, who has
been on the platform for sixteen years
devoting her time and talent to the
cause of cleaner and purer living. lee
tured to large audiences in Welsh
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
Mrs. Greene is woman of exceptional
ability. both as a lecturer, and as an
artist. She draws the word pictures of
her lecture from the actual scenes OF
life, as she has seen them and illus.
trateS them at the same time by rapid
ly executed chalk sketches, that in a
moments time carries the point of her
argument to the hearers understands
ing through the organs Of sight as we'll
as those of hearing.
Mrs. Greene is exceptionally we'll
prepared for the work she is doing,
adding to her natural talent for this
work, years of travel both in this
country and the countries Of Europe
and the East, where she has learned OF
the prevailing conditions by actual OBJ
seryatiou. Her work here was very
pleasing to her audiences. especially to
the children, the boys and girls whom
she is trying to save from the powers
of rum and ruin. Unlike many of the
temperance lecturers who are on the
platform, she did not conflne herself to
a plea against liquor only, but strongly
denounced the tobacco habit, and es-
pecially the cigarette.
The W. C. T. U. are to be congratu-
lated upon having as strong an advo-
cate of their work in the fields as Mrs.
Greene, and the local branch Of the
order are fortunate in having secured
her for these lectures. From here she
goes to EstherWood, and then to Jen.
nings for three days work.
