Mrs. Heinentann’s Lecture
Mrs Eugenia A. Heinemann,
state secretary of the Young
People’s Temperance work,
made two splendid addresses at
the Methodist church yesterday.
In the afternoon her subject
was the Life Story of Francis
E. Willard. From the beautiful
character and devoted service
of Miss Willard, Mrs. Heine
mann drew lessons for the in
spiration and encouragement of
women today.
At the evening service she
spoke on the evils of intemper
ance from a scientific stand
point. She quoted eminent sci
entists, doctors and statesmen
in corroboration of her charges
concerning the terribly debauch-1
ing and degenerating effects of j
the liquor traffic. Her words
proved well that she has made
| a eareful study of the liquor
question, and is ready with facts
to substantiate her every state
ment on the subject.
Mrs. Heinemann’s short talk to
the young people at the Metho- j
dist children’s day service yes
terday morning was enjoyed by
all. As an object lesson, she
used ribbons in varying lengths
to illustrate the different
amounts of money spent for!
different things in a year. The J
ribbon representing the money '
spent for liquor was many j
times the length of that stand- J
ing for the money used in
spreading the Christian religion,
or spent in an effort to free our
country from the sale of rum.
Mrs. Heinemann is in every
way an entertaining and an in
structive speaker and she is
making her influence felt in the
temperance cause throughout
the state. Contributed.
Come to the dance at the
Board building Wednesday ev
ening for the benefit of St. Paul's
Parish house.
