' . ... NEW BERN LADY PAYS AilSIT TO Mr, GeorSe Green Spends Sev-. tral Days In That Citv. A TKMPERANCE WORKER. Talked To The Pupils Of Public Schools -Doing Good Work. The Mrs. ( icorgc (.rrccn a noted temper--nice worker of this citv. visited Durham ast we k and ill' Durham Sun had the following to say of ht-r iay ia that cit v: Mrs. (,eorge (.reon cf New Bern, a former resident of Durham, wlum Durham was fortv-hve wars younger than it is now, reprvsenting th? Wom an's C hristian l.-mpranre I nion, and who has made quite a numb-r of talks to the schools and citizen., here the past few davs, paid the Sun Office a visit this morning and expressed her appreciation of the courtesies of that paper. She also talk-d most interes tingly of our schools, she having visi ted quite a number of them and made addresses on the organization the Un ion desires to effect in this state. Ia her talk with tlu Sun repressntative she contrasted )ur schools with the conditions h?re 45 years ago, when Durham was a mere railroad station, and she as a little girl entered the first school established. Our present growth ami development was a matt ?r of con gratulation. She was most favorably impressed. 1 lie children listened so attentively. The musical training they have had showed to such great advan tage in singing, the tone work is ;x ccdinly good. She said the superin tendent, principals and teachers were delightful and very willing to take up scientilic tempi-raiici: instruction, and prize essay w rk, thereby stimulating the growth of temperance among the children. In order to do this tliev mu .t have i.rganization.-, of the VV. ( . 1. If. th roughout the citv, through which the prizes a. id medals are awarded for best e.,says on the evil effects of alcoholism, and call into active ru-im -ration everv christian man and woman interested in the highest welfare of the child- If we would reach the highest type of citizenship we must do so through to tal abstainauce, to educate our people away from the use of narcotic and stimulants at tins time is the greatest benefit we can confer upon them. AH 0f the scientific world recognizes and proclaims that alcohol is a deadlv nar cotic irritant poison thereby, being humanity's most virulent foe. The thinkers of the world arc aroused on this question, and have enlisted for Nat ion-wide prohibition. William '1. Ellis in the Philadel phia North American saw.: "The surest sign of the impend-. in overthrow of the limior traffic on ,his continent is the aroused interest ,,f the whole church in the subject, Christ-animated men and women are daily finding new wavs of warring again- tit tViic: it inw ff ciifiiti' "hilling and firing all means and methods is the Christ-passion. This intense spirit is the really formida- be foe of intemperance. Methods mav be matched bv methods, schemes by schemes. The saloon has no ade- quate power with which to meet the -deep, new purpose of the aroused Christians who consider themselves - the vigilants of Christ; whose motive u lovaltv to him and to all th m iant woinen for whom he died. They dare do for patriatism and religion all that the adherents of this busi ness will do for gain.
