Temperance “Friend”

The splendid sale of the Temperance number of Our Little Friend indicates that it is filling a very important place in the present nation-wide movement for temperance. The orders are streaming in, and it is difficult to keep up with them. Three editions aggregating 55,000 copies have now been printed, and with orders coming in at the present rate, they will not last long. What a good thing it is that our little ones can also unite with us in this great and good temperance cause, with ammunition all their own! How we ought to encourage them, too, in taking their little part in our work! Suggest that they use ten, twenty, or more copies. They cost 2½ cents each in lots of five or more, and sell for 5 cents each. Orders should go to the tract society. Here is one letter just received:—

“DEAR EDITOR: Inclosed please find money order for $2. I sold my forty copies of the Temperance number you sent me, and the $2 I received will cover the cost of eighty more, which I hope to sell, and then perhaps I’ll send for more.

“Very sincerely, “___ ___.

“P. S.—Please send them as soon as you can, because I want to sell just all I can.”

This is the way to work with this good little Temperance Friend. Just keep doubling up all the time, and the work can be continued all summer long. Let us see that all the little folks who desire have a part in the opportunity here afforded.
