TEMPERANCE MESSAGE
Mrs. Edith Smith Davis Talks On
The Vision, The World Needs

Sunday was distinctively a special
lay for the Oskaloosa w. G. I. u,
nd under their auspices a special
service was held on Sunday after
noon at the Central NJ. E. church and
a union service was also held in the
evening. The speaker at both SER
vices was Mrs. Edith Smith Davis,
the National and Worlds Superin'
tendent of the department of Scien'
tific Temperance Instruction. At the
afternoon service, Mrs. G. E. Barnard
0residad and Rev. G. s. Farley of the
Christian church offered the opening
prayer.
nlrs. Z. o. Chlnn read the Scripture
lesson and the ladies quartette of &.
H. u, comprising Esther Tiberghien
and Anna Peak, sopranos, and Esther
Samp and Inez Minton, ContraltOs,
rendered a particularly fine rendition
of The Ninety and Nine" after
which Mrs. Davis spoke on the sub
ject of The Vision the World Needs.
Mrs. Davis is a clear and distinct
speaker and her address as a whole
vas radically different from the u.s.
ual temperance talk. She drew her
points and illustrations largely from
authors and poets and the scientific
authorities of all nations. From the
| nen whose experience personally
with the liquor problem made them
the best judges as to the results.
In the course of her work, she has
been a great traveller and has come
in direct contact with all phases of
| the subject. Her tribute to the life
and work of Frances e. Willard and
the universal regard that is given to
her, was a most beautiful and touch
| ng one. In Oskaloosa there are over
$50 members of the w. c. T. u, as
well as thousands more in the AZ
| states OF the nation and still thOus'
ands more in foreign lands who are
faithfully carrying to grand climax
the great work that she began in
| former years.
At the evening service, a union
meeting was held and the large audi
ltorium was packed with an audience
that seemed to absorb with intense
interest every word that was spoken
Mrs. c. e. Barnard again presided al
this service and prayer was offered
by Rev. Il. II. Stranahan of the
Friends church. Mrs. ]. r. Como
Jer read the Scripture lesson and g
inc anthem was rendered by the
Central NJ. E. choir, under the direc
ton of C. D. Gordon, solo and due
parts being taken by DR.. J. |. Tony
and Roy Kemble..
The address of Mrs. Davis was pro
life with facts of the most vital ma
ture and her argument was powerful
and convincing. She made stront
plea for the interest of parents in tn,
work of their children in the publi
schools. The scientific temperance
instruction has been at work in pub
lie schools, the government Indian
schools and in private schools for thu
past thirty years and we are nov
reaping some of the results OF thi
teaching
