A BATTLE PRAYER
God of battles, be with us now:
Guard our sons from the lead of
shame,
Watch our sons when the
cannons flame,
Let them not to a tyrant bow.
God of battles, to Thee we pray:
Be with each loyal son who
fights
In the cause of justice and
human rights,
Grant him strength and lead the way.
God of battles, oar youth we give
To the battle line on a foreign
soil,
To conquer hatred and lust
and spoil;
Grant that they and their cause
shall live.
—Edgar A. Guest.

Alcohol Education Theme at Current
Meeting Jackson Chapter of The WCTU
Miss Annie Lou McCord assisted
Mrs. C. T. Beauchamp in entertain
ing the monthly meeting of the
WCTU.
The devotional, led by Mrs. M.
O. McCord, was taken from John
21:16. Among the parting counsels
of the Divine Teacher to his disci
ples was a lesson on the subject of
the care of children expressed in
these graphic words “Feed my
Lambs’’ and addressed to Peter in
his official capacity. The Shepherd
then committed to the undershep
herds of all coming time the respon
sibility and tender charge of bring
ing up the children in the nurture
and admonition of the Lord.
We, as parents, are the undershep
herds upon whom this great respon
sibility rests. Ours is the task of
molding this most precious clay of
childhood into form of beauty before
it hardens into shapes of ugliness
from which it never can be fully
saved.
Mrs. D. P. Settle was in charge of
the program on “Alcohol Educa
tion.” She gave five good reasons for
wider dissemination of Alcohol Ed
ucation in the schools; first, the ap
proach to modern education is from
the social point of view and the use
of alcohol is anti-social; second, we
are to teach health positively and
regularly, and the use of alcohol is
destructive to health; third, in many
cities the teacher must give lessons
on safety each week, and the use
of alcohol imperils safety; fourth,
teaching now must include definite
character aims and the use of alco
hol is destructive to character; fifth,
since the use of alcohol destroys
JACKSON GARDEN

l snapdragons and jonquils
The dining table was covered with
an exquisite Italian cut-work cloth,
and silver candlesticks held lighted
white candles. The three-tiered
wedding cake, embossed entirely in
white, centered the table. Miss Car
[rnichael cut the cake and served the
plates on which had already been
placed the cream in the form of a
Calla lily. The favors were small
cornucopias filled with rice and tied
with white satin ribbons.
After refreshments, the honoree
opened her packages and the guests
caught a glimpse of the many beau
tiful gifts. When the recipient was
called on for a “speech” she thank
ed all those present for remember

to see her out at her California
home.
character, alcohol is a destroyer of
patriotism.
Mrs. Avon Gaston stressed the
need of grown-ups knowing what al
cohol is and what it does, for un
less they do, the environment out
side the school is likely to counter
act the instruction received in the
school room. All of our knowledge
on the alcohol problem is of no avail
until it begins to work out in the
lives of those who now do npt know
what alcohol is and what it does.
Mrs. D. P. Settle read an article
in which Mary Cobb a member of
the Wheaten, 111., WCTU, likened
the Union Signal to a bus which she
boarded for an adventure into un
known country. In this interesting
way, she discussed excerpts from
several weeks’ issues of this great
“Journal of Social Welfare,” the Un
ion Signal.
Mrs G. A. Briggs gave this
thoughtful quotation from the Daily
Trojan, of the University of Cali
fornia. “College students are doing
too much drinking. The worst that
prohibilitionests predicted is coming
to pass. It’s time that reaction set
in and particularly among college
students.”
Mrs. Jack Moore quoted Benjamin
Franklin on temperance as follows:
“Temperance puts wood on the fire,
meal in the barrel, flour in the tub,
money in the purse, credit in the
country, contentment in the house,
clothes on the back and vigor in the
body.”
After a short business session the
members were treated to delicious
refreshments of whipped cream, gel
atine and cake.
