A Good Number

By A. G. Daniells

THIS is what can be truthfully said of the Temperance Number of the Watchman. And it should also be said that this special should receive a very large circulation. The number is clean, neat, and artistic in appearance. Its articles are short and interesting, and they deal effectively with the most vital features of the temperance question. One of the articles is from the president of the National W. C. T. U.; another is from the president of the W. C. T. U. is not of Tennessee.
The first item on the publishers’ page appropriately states that “this issue of the Watchman voices the mind of the denomination which owns and publishes it,—that is, the Seventh-day Adventists,—on the temperance question. We stand uncompromisingly for the prohibition of the liquor traffic in city, county, State, and nation.”
That is right. We are a temperance people, and we should be more earnest in our work in behalf of the temperance movement.
This is a very opportune time for our people to bring out a Temperance Special. And now that it is out, we should give it a great circulation. A tremendous effort is being made in the South to free the people from the terrible curse of the saloon. We should be to the front in a good work of this kind. This Temperance Special will do good work, and it will place us on record on the temperance question just to the extent that we place it in the hands of the people. Then let all respond promptly and most earnestly to this opportunity.
