Temperance Sunday in Sunday Schools

Sunday, May 21, is set apart as temperance Sunday in the Sunday-schools of America. The Baptist denomination is calling its churches to action in the following words: “We have sadly neglected the work of systematic gospel temperance instruction. In this time of crisis and danger let every church and school in the land make an effort to retrieve the day. At the earliest opportunity let the pastor call the officers and teachers together and seek to enlist and arouse them; let them all plan to make this day great in behalf of temperance. By some such action as this we may be able to arouse and crystallize the sentiment of the people. It is not yet too late to save the day; but the hour is critical and calls for immediate and united effort.” Our workers will find that many Sunday-school superintendents and teachers may be glad, if given the opportunity, to use the Temperance Instructor in this campaign in behalf of temperance.

We learn that Elders Allen Moon, E. K. Slade, and Morris Lukens, of the Lake Union Conference, were present for a few days at the Philadelphia meeting, to confer regarding some transfers affecting that union, contemplated in plans to supply help to foreign fields.
