Denunciation of alcohol

The monthly meeting of the United Band of Hope, Northeast Valley, was held in the Institute, the president

(Rev R.E. Fordyce) presiding. An excellent programme was provided by members of the combined churches and Salvation Army.

The Rev N.A. Friberg, in addressing the meeting, warned the young people of the evils of strong drink. He stated that for centuries past men had tried in many ways to control this evil and had failed. An evil that was dangerous must be put out of the way altogether.

Mr Friberg concluded by impressing on the children never to forget the lessons they had learned at the Band of Hope.
