for. The reported enrolment and the aggregate average attendance
on our school were larger in May than ever before. Almost 900
pupils are attending the schools, and the average attendance was
433. At Santa Barbara we hear of additions to the Association, and
of three or more that seem ready to receive baptism. At Stockton
we held last Sunday evening, June 18, our anniversary, which was
well-attended and exceedingly interesting. Here are two, and
perhaps three, Chinese who have given for many months delightful
evidence of Christian character and who desire to be baptized.
The Oakland school is growing fast and with promise of greater
usefulness than ever it has given hitherto. I conclude with an
extract from a recent letter from Wong Ock, our helper in the
Petaluma school, “We have had a good school the past month; but
for one thing I feel sorry—that the scholars change all time. It
seems too bad; they don’t have but little time to learn. We can’t
help that, of course. They are all working boys, moving from place
to place. Some learn very fast and love to come to school, only
some of the hard words are difficult for them to pronounce, but
they do not fail to try. Every evening we have some words to spell,
writing them on the black-board and spelling alone and in concert.
I gave astronomy lessons to them, explaining by my own globe. They
were very much astonished because they never heard such a thing
as that the world was round, etc. The Bible lessons we have every
Saturday and Sunday evenings. I hope you will pray for the school
here and the teachers. Mr. Pond, I am hateful to myself ever since
I have known the truth, because of the earthly thoughts and fleshly
desires which lead me to go ways against my conscience, making me
heavy in heart. I feel as if I was two men then fighting all the
time. Oh, how great temptations in the spiritual life! Because of
them I often get discouraged and cold in my heart. Pray for me,
dear brother. Your humble brother,
WONG OCK.”

CHILDREN’S PAGE.

A TENNESSEE BAND OF HOPE.
BY MISS L. A. PARMELEE.
We were all glad to hear about Ted and his Temperance society. A
great many hundred years ago a father in Africa took his little
son, who was just as old as Ted, to the church altar and made him
promise to always hate the nation that had oppressed them. The
feeling of hate grew as the boy grew, and when he became a man he
made the oppressor and his proud armies tremble before him. Now if
the boys and girls, who are so fond of hearing about Hannibal’s
victories, will promise to hate Rum as he hated Rome, the monster
that has destroyed so many homes will be conquered.
The children are beginning to think of these things. If Ted and
his band should follow the sun, and gather all the temperance
boys and girls they could find on their way, when they reached
the Mississippi their army would be nearly as large as that other
army of young crusaders who started out to rescue the Holy Land
from desecration. Ask papa or mamma where you will find that story
to read for yourselves. I have only time to tell you of a little
company that would join this army when it stopped by the great
river to rest and get ready to cross into Arkansas, where a host
of eager recruits are learning to be loyal to home and honor and
temperance.
This Memphis company, only one of several in the city, are little
people, six, seven, eight and nine years old. Most of them had
learned to like the taste of whisky from eating the sugar left
in glasses after older people had taken a morning toddy, or from
sipping egg-nog Christmas week. Their teacher illustrated the evil
effects of alcohol by pouring a little into a saucer and dropping
a lighted match into it. As the blue flame blazed up, the children
thought it was not safe to take so dangerous an element into their
mouths. Another day they saw some alcohol poured upon the white of
an egg, and the teacher explained that the brain is composed of the
same material as the albumen of the egg. As the bright eyes eagerly
watched the yellowish white turn to milky white, just as they had
seen eggs fried in hot water and grease, they all cried out: “I
will never let any alcohol cook my brain like that.”
Once a lady showed them some large pictures of the stomach under
different conditions. She said the stomach is the kitchen of the
house we live in, and one of its most important rooms. The walls
are lined with soft, delicate pink, as pretty as the paper some
people put on their parlor walls. Alcohol is a fiery-tempered
little fellow, and when he comes into the kitchen he scratches
the beautiful walls, just as naughty boys will sometimes scratch
pins over the paper and plaster in their mother’s nice room. If he
stays long enough he will punch holes, make the clean walls black,
and ruin the room, so that the food can not be properly prepared.
The pictures explained the work of demolition, which the children
readily understood, as they knew of many people whose brains and
stomachs had been destroyed in that way.
These little people have pledged themselves never to touch or taste
the poison. More than that, they speak their convictions to their
friends and neighbors at home. “That glass of toddy will burn and
scratch your stomach.” “That whisky will cook your brain and give
you a headache; you may feel brighter for an hour or two, but then
you will be dull and stupid.”
Do you ask if all the boys and girls who signed the pledge have
been faithful to their promise? The most of them have. Two big boys
coaxed little Albert to go out of town and celebrate Easter by
drinking a bottle of beer, but he was so sorry and so ashamed of it
that the Band of Hope forgave him. Two or three others have been
enticed to drink, but the majority hold firmly to their promise.
And you young people, whose fathers and mothers never tempt you to
do wrong, can little understand how much these other little ones
have to endure in abiding by their convictions of right.
Let us help them by making the Temperance Army the strongest and
largest army in the world.

HORSFORD’S =ACID PHOSPHATE=.
(LIQUID.)
FOR DYSPEPSIA, MENTAL AND PHYSICAL
EXHAUSTION, NERVOUSNESS,
DIMINISHED VITALITY, URINARY
DIFFICULTIES, ETC.
PREPARED ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTION OF
Prof. E. N. Horsford, of Cambridge, Mass.
There seems to be no difference of opinion in high medical
authority of the value of phosphoric acid, and no preparation has
ever been offered to the public which seems to so happily meet the
general want as this.
