The original Home House bulld- ing, of exposed plumbing, wooden floors and high ceilings, remained Sierra's preference.

W.C.T.U. NOTES

MANITOBA PLAN OF WOflKllii-Ii?

1. We recommend that all W.C. T.U. meetings. public, business and annual. be opened with devotional exercises

At this time in our national his- tory when the need for spiritual regeneration is so great we urge upon our members that more time be spent in Bible study and prayer for guidance.

2. That the subject of Canadian and World Missions be part of a regular Union meeting once a, year. "

3. That each Union endeavor to give scientific temperance education to the young people and children. 4. That essay, poster, and other prize contests be given good leader- ship, and more financial support if necessary.

5. That students be sent to the A.S.M. school of Narcotics.

6. We recommend that all law; effecting our young people be studied. such as the Movie Mt. the Curfew, lifinors Protection, Dance Hail, etc.

7. Now that many more people are coming to Canada to live we recommend that the Superin- tendent of Canadianization be giv- en greater assistance in her efforts to promote interest iii new Canadi- ans, and that all our Unions make a special effort on behalf of new Canadian women in their localities.

8. We recommend that each Union procure a National Year Book. and that each Union study the consti- tution and superintendents make a particular study of their own department.

9. We recommend that a term of office be put into effect, through-

out the whole organization in Manitoba. Two years for Union Officers, three years for District

Officers, four years for Provincial Officers, and the,same length of term for superintendents, be put Into effect as soon as possible.

WHAT HAS THE BIBLE TO SAY ABOUT ALCOHOL?

From time to time our Heavenly Father has been very clear in his pronouncement against alcohol.

We find that during the forty years of the wanderings of the Children of Israel in the wilder- ness, God did wondrous things for them. l-Ie preserved their clothes and shoes. supplied them with food in the form of manna. and w-ater. These miracles through- out those long years were intended to train them in the knowledge of, faith in, and dependence on the Giver of all good things. (Deut. 29:5.) In the next verse. we find that they did not drink wine or strong drink so that they might know the Lord, their God.

In Leviticus 10:9, we find the Lord speaking to Aaron and giv- ing him the divine command which vras to be a perpetual statue us follows; "Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou. nor thy sons

t0

it tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations."

At the beglning of this tenth nhapter of Leviticus, you will note that Aaron's two eldest sons, who were priests. dlsobeyed God and offered strange fire. We do not know exactly the nature of their Slnning but from the fact that the prohibition of wine or strong drink follows closely on the slnnlng and resultant death, it is thought by late Jewish writers and many modem commentators, that these two priests committed their sin when intoxicated.

PERSONALS FROM THE UNIONS

Mrs. Tracy Ludlnizton, probably the oldest member of the W.C.T.U. o! Montreal. an indefatigable work- er for temperance for many years, celebrated her 95th birthday on September 13th in the home of her oldest daughter. Mrs Bernice Brown of Wingham, Ontario.

Mrs. C. W. P. Baugh of Lake- field and a member of Argenteuii- Vaudreuii Union was presented with a Provincial Life Membership by hcr Union at their last meeting which was held in Lachute at the home of Mrs. J. Murdoch. Mrs. w. Y. King addressed Mrs. Baugh, and Mrs. Murdoch presented the pin. nnd Mrs. Baugh were both mentioned in Tidings in connection with the vote against liquor sale in Lakefleld.

Tacitus the HL‘ J (concluded)

After the death of Nerd-Gallon Governor of Hispania, returned to Rome where he was poclainied Em- peror ln June A.D. 68. His severity and avarice made him unpopular and instigated by Otho (who had been Governor of Lusitania) the soldiers executed him in January 69.

Otho was proclaimed Ernporer at once but his career was even shorter. One Vitellius, who on ac- count of his vices had been a fav- orite of Nero. was proclaimed Em- peror by the soldiers at Cologne. Otho marched his troops nzrth- ward to meet the threat but was defeated and took his own life in April AD. 69.

This left the field clear for, Vitellius who reigned from June to‘» December A.D. 60. I-Ie exhibited some moderation at first, but be- came celebrated as a gluttcn and an epicure. However Vespasian who had been sent by Nero to wage war against the Jews. was pro- claimed Emperor by the soldier's at Alexandrlallsyilt, cm July 1 A.D. 69 and soon after throughout all the East. His generals defeated the Vitellians in two battles and , marched to Rome, where they seized Vitellius in the palace dragged him out and killed him. Dec. A. D 69. A memorable year! Vespasian arrived in home A. D. '10, and reigned till 79. His son Tit- us. conqueror in the Jewish war succeeded him but unluckily Tac- itus's history of the two reigns has‘ been lost, and the little we know of them is derived IrOm oth- er scources.
