PENNSYLVANIA SPEAKER
AT w. C. r. U. MEETING.
Mrs. Edna Young Reed Emphasizes
Importance of Work With Children.

An interesting parlor meeting of the
local w. C. T. U. was held at the home
of Mrs. Harry z. Higgins at No. 81
Fairmount street on Wednesday after
noon. The meeting opened with sing
ing Onward, Temperance Soldiers, the
words written by Mrs. Jacob f. Stark
weather of this city, a member of the
local union. Mrs. S Howard Mead
read the 96th Psalm and Mrs. Della
Perkins offered prayer. Miss Nellie
Howie gave a fine piano solo and the
roll call was responded to by items of
advance in the temperance movement
such as the Yale and Dartmouth alum
nj banquets, which are to be given
without liquors.
Mrs. Charles T. Bard then gave a
most delightful solo in perfect voice,
accompanied by Miss HOWE Mrs.
Edna Young Reed of Clarendon. Pa,
then gave the address of the after
noon, speaking of the temperance work
both from observation and experience.
First, the work among and for the
children, which is the fundamental and
most important. She urged the eStab-
Hshment of Loyal Legions and of work
in Sunday schools, especially on the
four Sundays in the year when there
are lessons prepared on temperance.
Msr- Reed said that some people
will never go to a temperance lecture
Those who attend are the people who
do not need it, and the people who
do need it do not attend. The child is
the connecting link, said the speaker.
AS an illustration of this, she told the
story of child who refused to touch
the liquor on his fathers table. The
impression of the childs views caused
the father to abolish liquor from his
table. The strongest appeal is from
the economic standpoint. You must
touch the pocketbook and tell the
voter it does not pay.
Ty7 -{e4N 60
where there was only one prisoner,
and he came from Nebraska Kansas
is an object lesson for the nation. Why
can't the boys of the New England
states have the same chance? asked
the speaker Mrs. Reed has been con-
nected with a Loyal Legion in Titus
VILE Pa, numbering 800 children, and
the results of the training and teach
ing were of great interest to her hear
ers-the reforming of parents and
changing of the conditions of many
homes.
Most earnestly Mrs. Reed urged the
women present to do work that was
worth while.
After the address, Mrs. Bard sang
the w. c. T. U. song, Victory.
Mrs. Higgins was a most delightful
hostess and at the close of the pro-
gramme dainty refreshments were
served.
Mrs. Reed is to speak at the First
Baptist church on Sunday, and all
members of the W. c. T. U. are in
vited to attend the lecture. Her topic
will be John Barleycorn on a Hike
In commenting on Mrs. Reeds lee
ture, a Pennsylvania paper says: Mrs
Edna Young Reed is a noted temper
ance speaker. Her several years resi-
dence in Kansas familiiarized her with
prohibition conditions. The Warren
Evening Times says: Mrs. Edna Young
Reed gave her lecture, John Barleycorn

ingly interesting and enjoyed by the
large audience.
