UNIVERSAL TEMPERANCE SUNDAY.
A Call for Its observance.
An effort is being made by the Christian
temperance people to establish the fourth
Sunday of November as Anneal Temper
ance Sunday, to be iiniversuliy observed.
The movement originated In the Lon-lon
Sunday School union, has been tak-n up
by the leading temperance and Sunday
school workers of America, and has the
endorsement of bishops and clergymen of
nearly all denominations. The general as
sembly of the Preslivtirian church, the
United Presbyterian church, the national
triennial council of Congregational
churches and the general conference of
the Methodist episcopal church have
adopted the day and urge the annual ob
servance. The executive committee of the
international .Sunday .srhoul convention
also call for a special otisrvance of the
day. In view of these facts and with a
desire to aid this movement, which cum
meiids Itself tu Christ an people every
where, we earnestly request the pastors of
nil churches In our city to observe Nov.
22nd. We recommend the preaching of a
temperance sermon in the morning, that
speclul attention be given to teaching a
liiltlo temperance lesson In the Suu-lay
schuols and ask the Young People's socie
ties to make il a subject or prayer in their
meetings. We further suggest that in the
evening uniun temperance or Christian
citizenship meetings be held wherever
practicable. This call Is made that Chris
tian temperance sentiment may be
aroused and that the Christian churches
take their rightful place as leaders in
this great reform movement.
