This man‘s experienee coincides exactly with my own. I feel cenfident that I know many men who were carried over most critical times of temptation, safely, simply because they were pledged memâ€" bers of a temperance society.

RSE §§§’\J p PV My own personul experience is, that the simple fact of a boy being a pledged member. of a temperance society has saved him from yielding to the drink habit many times, and I believe if we compare one hundred pledged boys with one hundred unpledged boys that at the end of thrity years the one hundred pledâ€" ged boys will make a far better showing in life than the one hundred unpledged boys. f This seems to me a self evident fact and besides being self evident it has been proved by experienee.> The wonder to me therfore is that so little interest has been taken in tempsrance socleties and in the pledging of the boys during the past ten years, by moral reform workers.
