TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
Dear Friends: We aro glad to
greet you to this reception. Our
topic is "Mother's Reception." For
years wo have mado it a Father's re
ception also, and urged them to bo
present. Wo havo been told tho way
to reach a man's heart is through
his stomach so each year havo pro
pared a dinner for them and if wo
havo not reached tho object In viow
then it Is because wo were misin
formed as to the correct route.
Fathers, bo merciful; wo want
your good will; wo need your help
and example It Is dlfllcult to teach
a child Loyal Temperance Legion
principles with tho smell of liquor
and tobacco on tho father's breath,
and yet the fathers aro glad to know
their children aro abstainers from
theso ovils oven If they themselves
indulge. Agents of tho organized
charities of New York City havo re
cently Interviewed twenty thousand
tramps or bums as they aro called in
the city. Twelve thousand of them
frankly admitted that drink is tho
principal causo of their destitution.
If accurate theso figures carry one
of tho most powerful temperance
sermons ever preached and there is
reason to believe that tho facts are
even moro appalling than the figures
show; for probably not only the
twelve thousand but many of tho
remaining eight thousand owe it to
drink that they aro vagrants and out
casts. Can you permit this thing to con
tinue? Fathers .and mothers the liquor
people are after your boy and mine.
The saloon must have thorn for tho
money it pays the state or go out of
business. Are wo longer going to
continue the policy of selling our
boys and girls for revenue. What
is a boy or girl worth?' What Is the
liquor traffic? Neglected wives and
ragged children can tell you that the
liquor traffic is a mighty reservoir of
crime, misery, want and disgrace,
flooding the earth with tears and
blood. It is the breaking of tho
cyclone, tearing up happy homes,
hurling children into the streets,
wrecking tho beautiful, the noblo and
the brave, leaving death and devas
tation In its track. Look over the
field where this destroyer has done
its work, the skeltons of noblo man
hood and of bright intellect are
strewn everywhere while from every
quarter of the globe is heard tho
pitiful cry, "O Lord how long." The
moral tone of the community is low
ered by licensing the liquor traffic.
There Is no single channel through
which such depths of misery flow
over the human family as through
this. No ravages of disease, no de
vastations of nature, no kinds of
vice or crime work such woe as this.
There is but one thing to be done.
Let all good men, all patriots, all
philanthropists and all Christians of
every name and creed unite in one
changeless purpose, in one deter
mined effort, and condemn, eradi
cate and exterminate it. In a dozen
moro years hope to seo the liquor
traffic as dead as the slave traffic.
The mothers havo no easy path be
fore them. About twenty years ago
I listened to this statement from tho
pulpit: Mothers you aro placed where
you aro directly responsible for your
children. How dare wo do other
wise than fight the liquor trlfllc after
hearing such a declaration. '
A saloonless nation in 1920 is our
slogan,
Brother I guess you would enter tho
fight
If It was your boy down there to
night, Ruined and wrecked by the drink
appetite,
Down in tho licensed saloon.
