The Temperance Rallies

By M. E. K.

THE interest of our young people in the great temperance movement has been increasing with each Missionary Volunteer lesson published in the Instructor. These lessons furnish good weapons for use in the temperance warfare. The last of this series of lessons will be on “Our Duty and Responsibility,” and will probably be in the Instructor of March 2. When that lesson is given, every Seventh-day Adventist youth who has not already done so ought to sign the “Total Abstinence Pledge.” Be sure that the pledges are on hand. Then comes the special Temperance number of the Instructor, which is to be one of the finest numbers ever published, with respect to matter, illustrations, and workmanship.

With the materials of these lessons and the Temperance number in hand, it is planned that in all our churches a temperance rally shall be held about March 28. Let all, both old and young, begin to plan definitely for this. Extend the notice of the rally, so as to reach as large a number of the people as possible with these great temperance truths. Have on hand a number of the temperance lessons of the Instructor and other temperance literature to sell or give to the people.

Then let our young people take hold of the circulation of this Temperance number with vigor. “O, the good we all may do, while the days are going by!” but if we fail to work for the men and women who are tossed on the sea of intemperance, shall we be held blameless? M. E. K.
