Good citizens are mudc through a proceso nf education, temperance must be instilled drop by drop into th" young lives by careful teaching. Sad it ii that so many fathers and mothers are so careless in the teaching and training of their children. Therefore it is vory important that we all as well as Sunday School teachers lm well informed and ready and able tn K resent to old and young the aw illness of tho evils of intompor ance. The temperance teaching is important because the saloon is counted as the church's great oil foe, it Is also imiwrtant bo uauicj it is the teaching of Clod's Word, and the Hible is the rule of falUi and practice.
