There are social and political upheavals all along the course of civilization which bring strange, new humanl types to the surface at war with os-[ tablished order.

As it nestles in its spotless purity the breast of man it tells to the upon or womarn of wealth or poverty, world that the wearer is one of the vast army that is waging a mighty war against the hosts of sin. Not a war which is destroying homes and devastating nations, strewing the plains and hillsides with the dead and dying, but a blessed war of peace, for the uplift- ing of the nations and of the homes for the protection of the weak and the oppressed, striving to put temp- tation out of the way of those who cannot resist it and making poor old trouble-tossed world a bet- ter place to l‘i\'e in. Only a tiny bow of white ribbon' Only a poor little woman wearing it. *“Is there any power in that?" |you say. How smal] is a little drop of wa- ter and yet how great is the mighty ocean, beating its snow-capped waves against the rocks, lashed into fury by the angry elements. Yes, there is wonderful power in one bow of white ribbon. Upon the breast of wife and mother it wields its influence for good over the en- tire family. When worn upon the street it silently points the way to a better, purer life. this of home and mother and causes him to take a new start In life. It is a power when worn by the young woman, serving to protect her against the class of young men with whom marriage would be a miserable failure and exerting an influence for good over all the young she comes in contact. Of course therg are excep- tions to all rules. The inheritance of a taste for drink combined with a weak will are sometimes more powerful than the influence of the wife. Still, the girl with the white ribbon upon her breast and the love is safe-guarded against many evils. The same may be said about the young man wearer of our badge. The low, rough, cher class of young men have noth- ing in common with the young man who wears the white ribbon. llis society is not desirable, therefore they let him alone. It is a help to the business man. Spreading its atmosphere of purity and honor, it causes those with whom he comes in contact to have confidence in him. We hear so much about the sec- cret societies being such a felp to the stranger in a strange land. The same can be said of the far reach- the =W 04 I alis When 1 first arrived in Lakeland with the intention of moving my tamily herg it I could find a suitable the train an houvr late and T was alone. city by myself after frighten me until I hotels were all full, the busy house, was dark did found that the for it was in The only that 1| off on tourist season. friends that we had here, knew of at that time, were a visit.
