THE TEMPERANCE DEPARTMENT
OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
lly Mrs. ,T. M. Coleinan.J
The question is often asked Why
special temperance teaching in the
Sunday school?
Tho answer Is threefold. First:
The necessity of such instruction is
Imperative as tho drink habit and
trafllc, underlying and meeting near
ly every other sin, is the Sunday
school's greatest enemy.
A story is told of a wise old Sholk
who gave to a young Arab Prince.
from whom lie was about to part, a
list of crimes and bade him to
choose tho one which seemed least
harmful.
'rue young Princo turned in horror
from murder, theft and loss of vir
tue and told the Patriarch he would
choose intemperance.
"You have chosen that," said the
wise old man, "which will bring you
all."
Second: We have the children
and youth In our Sunday school dur
ing the most susceptiblo years,
when the tides of being are set-either
toward good or evil.
We should teach those things
which concern the every-day life of
the child, thereby making them
strong allies of God in the contest
of evil.
'luiough the faithful teaching of
temperance truths to children, cider
barrels have been taken out of the
I cellar, wine removed from the table,
ana brandy left out of the cooking.
How true It is "A little child
shall lead them."
Third: It is of the utmost Import
ance that those in our Sunday schools
understand the teaching in God's
Word upon this subject.
Intellectual knowledge is often of
little avail when unaccompanied by
an educated and sensitive conscience.
Wo must stamp God's Word con
cerning these evils upon tho mind
and hearts of tho young so that no
temptation will bo able to erase It.
Dean Stanley said: "Each age of
the church has, as It were, turned
over a new leaf In the Bible and
found a response to Its own wants."
It would seem indeed that a new
leaf had been turned by this age in
that blessed Book whose teaching on
tins subject is so clear and explicit.
Never for a moment lot us forget
that His Word, "always a lamp to
our feet and a light to our path,"
throws no uncertnln beam upon this
most perilous way.
Moro and moro clearly are wo
coming to comprehend tho bearing
of the Holy Scriptures upon the tem
perance question, and how perfectly,
both by its whole spirit and trend.
as well as by precept and example,
it enforces tho truest, purest, and
highest principles of total abstin
ence for the Individual and prohibi
tion for the state and nation.
It has been wisely said, "If you
would know what the theology of the
next generation will be, go down in
to our Sunday schools and learn
what Is being taught thero to-day In
that respect."
Can wo not as truly say that the
religious temperance sentiment of i
the next generation will depend up-:
on what is being taught upon this son whoso lndentity must be assum
subject in our Sunday schools. I ed, and to make the most of answers
"Life boats are good when ships limited to "Yes" and "No."

The ?5ltoS "Suta. of temper-lf'
ance work has been prepared by the
elation and every Sunday school is
expected to endorso it.
1? Educate every Sunday school
member for: (a) Total Abstinence;
(b) The Destruction of the Liquor
Traffic; (c) The Extinction of the
Cigarette Habit; (d) The Surrender ,
of Every Self-indulgence which im-1
nalrs or destroys the nower to give I
service to God and Man
2. Observe all appointed Quarterly
Temperance Sundays.
(Special) Anti-Cigarette Day
Temperance Sunday of Second Quar
ter. (Special) World's Temper
ance Sunday, the fourth Sunday In
November to bo emphasized as
Christian Citizenship Day.
3. A Temperance Department in
every Sunday school under tho care
of a Temperance Superintendent.
4. Enroll every Sunday school
member of proper age as a pledged
austainer.
If every Sunday school of Wayne
county would adopt this outline and
live up to Its teaching our youth
would be saved from lives of sin and
unrighteousness, and be a power in
God's hand for making Pennsylva
nia white.
The Temperance Superintendents
will be able to get helps both for
the teaching of tho lesson and spec
ial programmes by sending to the
following:
Your own denominational publish
ing house.
National Temperance Publication
Society, New York City.
Mrs. Stella B. Irving, 115 Walnut
street, Riverside, California.
March ich being tho Quarterly
Temperance Sunday I trust it will
be properly observed and that every
Sunday school will have a Pledge
Record or Honor Roll framed and
hung on the wall.
This record should contain the
names of every officer, teacher and
scholar.
Let us, as members of this great
Sunday school army, march with a
steady step, following our Captain
till the victory is won and Pennsyl
vania ihall be free.
HOME GAMES TOR
LENTEN PASTIMES.
A new and very amusing game
called the "Novelette" is well worth
arranging by those who aro looking
for amusement Ideas. The hostess
places about the room as many small
tables as there are guests, just as
Klin would in the. ensn of linker nn-
tience, but when space is an object
two players can sit at the same table, i suirieu me to uunuing on tins ques
On the other hand, by the use of ! tlon. It happened at my homo
drawing boards or pieces of stiff
cardboard, no tables need bo provid
ed. Tables or boards are numbered.
Tho guests in turn draw a number
from any bag or bowl, and then take
possossion of their own place, whore
they find spread out before them, on
a sheet of brown paper, In glorious
confusion, a number of illustrations,
of which there should be not fewer
than twelve.
When boards aro used tho pictures
are secured by means of drawing
pins and aro easily moved about by
the players.
How The Game Is Played.
Each sheet of paper also reveals' a
striking title, such as "The Crime In
the Night," "The Breaker of the
Law," "The House of Danger,"
"Where Shadows Lurk," "The Dark
est Hour," etc.
The player finds the pictures al
lotted varied in character; there may
be unnamed Illustrated scenes taken
from the pages of magazines once
used in regular stories, dainty bits of
land or seascapes, other things tak
en from sale catalogues showing fig
ures of every possible form of per
sonal possessions, pieces of furni
ture, or objects in common use.
One table may show one or two
cuttings depicting passenger steam
ers or a man-of-war; another a rail
way train; a third a motorcar. But
whatever the picture may be, a very,
very brief novelette has to be put
together, and each picture must have
a placo in the story.
Sometimes a player may consider
that quite a thrilling story has been
properly illustrated, and is deeply
aggravated to discover a picture that
has escaped attention, possibly that
of a very large cabbage or cauli
flower, taken from a gardening cata
logue. But this desirable vegetable
must have a place in the story, or
there, is no chance of obtaining a
prize!
Tho Gaino of "Who."
A capital competitive game that
affords a whole ovenlng's amuse
ment is called "Who?" Tho atten
tion of guests Is directed to a big
bowl, or large vase, from which
lengths of ribbon of varied colors
dangle.
If the game is to bo played in
groups of four thero must bo for
Instance, four blues, four violets,
four yellows, four greens, nnd so on.
All players drawing similar colors
form a group; various cosy corners
are arranged about the room. At
ono end of tho room, shut off by
screens, Is a long table covered with
a largo collection of objects arranged
beforehand by the hostess, but with
which tho guests have no concern at
first.
Each ribbon Is fastened through a
hole In a sealed envelope; these are
numbered from one to four. The
ployer In the violet group, possess
ing an envelope with the number
one upon It, passes It to No. 2, who
opens It, reads the word or words
written on a slip of paper, and pas
ses It on to the other players in the
group; only No. 1 remains In Ignor
ance of what tho envelope contains,
and has to find out by questioning
from tho others tho name of tho per-

To show you still further how ex
tremely rare it Is, I have Interviewed
4U physicians vhosovpractice has ex
tended over long periods and not ono
had ever seen a case of hydrophobia.
Dr. Osier, the most widely known in
vestigator, reports that he has only
seen two cases since 1SG7. I could
cite you other ones of high authority
that give the same history of this
dreaded disease.
'mere is scarcely a day that we d
not hear of some mad dog scare but
they all fake and end in tho poor dog
getting the worst of it. While work
ing in a state laboratory somo years
ago I went with two eminent physi
cians to kill a valuable dog that had
been reported as dying with hydro
phobia. The dog was in a wealthy
section of the city and ,had almost
caused a riot before we reached th
place. Our object was to obtain th
brain so us to examine it in the lab
oratory. Wo were fully armed for
such an expedition. Every one agreed
that this was indeed a true case of
hydrophobia. The dog was killed,
his head cut off and to our surprise
there was a sharp chicken bone in his
throat. In a few minutes we all slip
ped off leaving the poor dog, muck
ashamed for what we had done.
Dog Needs Drinking Water.
Another case wherein a dog show
ed symptoms of hydrophobia, a.
thorough Investigation revealed tho
fact that the dog had not had water
in any form for twenty days. Among
tho country people It is tho custom
to see that all the animals on the
place have been watered, but the dog
is left to look out for himself. I
want to say that if there is anything
that will make a man or woman show
signs of hydrophobia just let him do
without water for twenty days.
When a dog has pain or is dis
tressed in any way, it Is as natural
for him to bite as it is for tho horse
to kick or the cat to scratch. Along
this line let me glvo you an example
that 1 know to be true, and it first
i when I was living at 1214 Eightk
avenue. 1 had a young Collie dog.
One afternoon he was in tho back
yard and became violent, jumping in
the air and rolling on tho ground a
i wel1 as clawing at his throat. Every-
one that saw him declared that he
was going mad. Sirs. Beck was tho
only one that was at home at tho
time. Against the protest of overyono
she iirmly held his head between her
knees, pulling his mouth open, look
ing down, saw a large bone wedged
in his throat. Sho took a stick and
pried It out, which of course ended
the trouble. Now the point that 1
wish to make is this: With the ex
citement that It caused, within five
minutes some one would have turn
ed in a mad dog scare. The police
would have arrived on the scene; the
dog would have been shot and the re
port gone around as a dog killed
having hydrophobia.
Many people take no precaution as
to what they feed their dogs, Imagin
ing that they can swallow anything,
when in reality such food as sharp
chicken bones aro extremely danger
ous. If you do not believe that sharp
bones will produce symptoms of hy
drophobia Just try eating some. You
are just about as able to swallow
sharp chicken bones as your dog.
Another thing I wish to mention in
case a dog bites any one don't UI11
the dog at once; tie him up so you
can see if he will develop hydropho
bia otherwise you destroy your bust
diagnostic principle.
If you see it in the Citizen
know it's so!

Nevada's State Anthem.
A Reno, Nev., hotel manager has
hit upon this striking even audaci
ous perversion of the national hymn
"America," on a circular advertising
his hotel:
"Nevada, 'tis of thee
Sweet State of Liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Stato where our fathers flee;
State that sets mothers free
Marriage, because of thee,
Hath lost Its sting.
"My Stato that holds the key
That sets tho shackled free,
I lovo thy name.
I lovo thy lawyers ways,
Thy Dazzling divorcees,
The briefness of their stays
Their littlo game.
"Reno, It is to thee,
Daughter of Liberty,
To theo we flee.
Long may the streets resound
With freedom's joyful sound,
Scatter thy light around,
From sea to sea."
