TRUE TEMPERANCE BOYS AND GIRLS

Hey, TEMKIT— Just what is 'TEMPERANCE' anyway?

'TEMPERANCE' means staying away from all bad habits. It means making sure that we eat right and drink right and live right. It also means not using anything that is harmful to our minds or bodies-- not even a little bit. It means using good things wisely and not using bad things at all.

'TEMPERANCE' is having good health habits. If we do this; our bodies will reward us with health and energy as well as 'brains' to be able to do our daily tasks well.

Did you know that caring for our bodies right is one of the very first things a little child is supposed to learn? And yet many big people have never learned it at all.

Here is a little poem story that tells about 'TEMPERANCE'.

True temperance boys and girls are we,

We’re trying hard as hard can be,

To learn health habits in our youth,

For ‘tis a part of God’s great truth.

We’ll join our hearts, and join our hands,

And stand a true and loyal band,

From all bad habits we will flee

For temperance boys and girls are we!
