Q.--How shall we help in Scott Act work? A.--Most of all by the faithful distribution of temperance literature, and by providing funds for its purchase. By educating the children in regard to it, giving them at their Band of Hope meetings, in simple language, the reasons why every one should work and vote against it. Many a father has been won by his child. By selecting articles on the subject, and having them inserted in the daily papers. By praying for its success in your church prayer meetings, and encouraging others to do the same. By prayer as a Union, and by private prayer. By looking after every branch of the temperance work more closely, so that every influence may be brought to bear on all classes and conditions of society. Q.--Can ladies be received into our society without signing the pledge? A.--The suggestion has been made that such be received as "associate members" or "well-wishers" having every privilege except the vote. Q.--When scientific temperance instruction is introduced into the public schools, what remains for the committee on that subject to do? A.--To see that the _law_ is _enforced._ The schools should be visited at the hour when this study is on the programme. Conscientious teachers will welcome your presence. |
