Work for the Children

By E. R. P.

WOMEN and children have been the greatest sufferers from the curse of intemperance. The Temperance number of the Youth's Instructor is an effective weapon with which they can fight one of their greatest foes.

Recently a little girl from the Takoma Park church-school secured five copies of the Temperance number of the Instructor, and sold them in a half-hour. Several other little girls caught the spirit of enterprise and work, and succeeded well. Other children in other church-schools and Sabbath-schools can do as well as these little girls have done here in Takoma Park.

This experience has suggested the thought, Why not have a real, modern,

up-to-date “children's crusade” against intemperance? It would be a blessed thing for the children, and for the people they visit, if all the boys and girls, with their swift feet, smiling faces, and childish energy, would join in fighting the great monster with this beautiful Temperance number of the Youth's Instructor.
