Temperance in the Sun
day Schools.
As the Bth of May is our next
Temperance Sunday, let all of our
schools observe it with appropriate
exercises. The second temperance
Sunday in the year is designated by
the International Sunday School
Committee as Anti-Cigarette day.
It is our duty as a Christian people
to do all we can to impress our
young people with the evil effects
of tobacco, especially the cigarette.
We do not know how much evil
was done last week by the free dis
tribution of the sacks of cigarette
tobacco. If the enemy is so wide
awake and busy, why can’t we be?
