Why should not the liquor traffic.

frequent drinking‘placcs merely for
‘Icoociation. We should afford a coun-
ter attraction. open the doors of our
society rooms to these young men and
receive them with hearty welcome and
warm charity.
The prevention of an evil is easier
than its extinction. 'i‘a forcwarn
against an evil, is to forearm for its
destruction.
The ml manifested in educating the
young to appreciate the malice and
degradation of drunkenness ,is highly
commendable. To strengthen and safe-
'guard our childrcn against the drum-
on of drink. is to prepare a generation
that will do battle for the cause or so-
briety, and oppose a strong unbroken
resistance to the forces of the liquor
party.
Our work is educational not only for
the young. but for all. arid especially
for those who. by virtue of their ollicc,
are entrusted with the charge of form-
ing and developing the character of
their offspring. We have organizations
for wonlen. in order that women may
more fully realizc thc necessity of
combating intcmperance. that moth—
ers may appreciate the obligation of
warning their children against its ma-
lice, and may indicate the havoc that
it works inaociety. As the mothers of
a nation are. so the nation will be. it.
