HEARD    GUEST    SPEAKER
The Rev. O. B. Poulson, who is
conducting communuity evangelistic
meetings in the Methodist church,
was guset speaker at a W. C. T. U.
meeting held in that church Tuesday
afternon. Mrs. C. S. Weight, president of try local union, presided at
. the meeting and the Rev. H. T.
Covert, pastor of the church, eon-
oucted the devotional service. He
mjM the temperance lesson from-the
Book of Proverbs. Mrs. R. F. Knoebel sang a solo and Mrs. W. A. Love
offered the prayer)
The ltev. Poulson had as his theme,
"We Are in the Midst of Two Wars".
He said that the people of this nation are macrifioing in every possible
way to win the freedom of dena
cracy for. ths nations of this earth.
With equal sacrifice the war against
intoxicating beverages could be won.
Education, legislation and redemption Mil win the campaign. Start-
ling statistics were given by tiie
speaker to inform his audience just
what people should know about tba
toll taken by the liquor traffic. Efl
facts were bettor known and more
widely known more effective legis-
ltiion would not be so difficult to
■ i-cure.
Redemption must begin with turning of I' e people to God and alway
from, such evils. The home is the
first stronghold to be fortified.
From it there goes out the influence
that enables the school to carry out
provisions of the state law and tht>
church to do its part in delivering its
people from the curse.
In the business meeting that followed several new members were
welcomed and it was announced thst
the membership had been more thsn
doubled within the past year.
