A Temperance Song Book.

By John Harvey Kellogg

THE friends of the health and temperance work will be pleased to learn that a collection of temperance hymns, songs, anthems, and music is being prepared expressly for the use of health and temperance clubs. Quite a collection of excellent pieces has been made already, several first-class composers having contributed liberally to the work, but there is still wanting a few sterling pieces on such subjects as true temperance, tea and coffee, tobacco, the teetotal pledge, etc. Good words that can be set to music are especially required. In order to interest our friends in this direction, we have decided to offer a prize of $5 for the best words on any of the above subjects, and hereby do so with the stipulation that the words shall be sufficiently meritorious to be worthy of a place in the work referred to, the awarding of the prize to be left to the Executive Committee of the American Health and Temperance Association. This offer remains good for four weeks only.

We shall also be exceedingly glad to receive good selections of words or music.

J. H. Kellogg, Pres. Am. H. and T. Association.
