Temperance Lesson.

| Mr.. A. b. UtSey, superintendent Ol
Trinity Sunday-school, is always seek
ing some new way of presenting truth
to the school. Last Sunday being
temperance day, several young men
of the Fitting School gave an attrac-
tive exercise.
The first to enter was the farmer,
MIR. NJ. NJ. Stabler, with an ear of
corn in his pocket declaring that he
had no use for alcohol; he wanted
his corn to be put to better use, to-
be blessing, not a curse.
Next came the athlete, Mr.. w. P.
Foxworth, saying that athletes had
discarded it's use; they needed an
alert brain and nerves and muscles
ready to do their utmost.
The railroad engineer, Mr.. H. A.
Mitchum, next appeared saying Il
run on the temperance main line;
Whiskey Town can't sidetrack my
train. I obey my orders, run on time.
An engineer can't trust wild BRAIN
Next in line was the civil engineer,
Mr.. O. ]. Hydrick; then the chaffeur,
Mr.. w. ]. Bowen; the merchant, Mr..
G. l. Whetsell surgeon, Mr.. Ray
mond Smith; lawyer, Mr.. L. B. Stab
ler; each one in his turn telling that
in his profession alcohol was out of
business.
Following these was the stately
governor, Mr.. G. B. Hydrick, declar-
ing that he had promised to serve
the people of his state, they trusted
him and he was going to give them
the best that was in him, and not the
service of a brain muddled by strong
drink.
Then the teacher, Mr. G. R. Staley,
appeared with the message that ne
was ever teaching and trying to pro-
mote temperance. The minister, Mr..
A. R. Phillips, announced that he was
preaching in the only safe way and ne
hoped that the day would speedily
come when patriots vote as they pray.
The young men, each dressed in
appropriate costume, formed them
selves into a pyramid and as the last
one took his place in the pyramid
little Miss Mary Ann Bronson entered
bearing aloft a total abstinence ban
ner. From the testimony of all the
vocations represented the duty of all,
she concluded, was plain: to practice
total abstinence and pray and work
for prohibition.
Descending from the rostrum the
young men passed through the au-
dience distributing the following time
