Some little ones in another family, who had always had their “toddies,” as they call it in this country, have been so true to their pledges, refusing their grandfather, who urged them to drink with him, that it has influenced their mother to think she can do without whisky as a medicine, and to become an enthusiastic member of our N. C. T. U. And so we see “a little child shall lead them.”

MRS. A. A. MYERS.
