A temperance lecturer misses his train and ends up attending a town picnic. It was a common enough picnic on a commonplace day. But the discussions, actions, and attitudes from that picnic reverberate through the lives of many people. What are the far-reaching consequences of one commonplace day in OUR lives?

Critiques


(5 stars)

I like both the reader & the story. Pansy is one of my favorite authors.

the best yet


(5 stars)

We need a New Temperance movement. I've heard all the same arguments and seen the destruction. as I listen I can only pray for a new movement to recapture souls from the chains of addiction back to Christ. (Galatians 5:1) *reread 4/19/24

maddening inflection


(3 stars)

I cannot speak for the text, because the inflection of the reader drove me crazy after five minutes. Does anyone else want to rerecord it?

good arguments for Christ and temperance


(5 stars)

A classic Pansy book with a strong emphasis on the temperance question and Christian work. Definitely recommend!

God is Faithful


(4 stars)

We are God's epistle known and read of all men. In whatsoever we do; do it as unto the Lord.

All Temperance


(3 stars)

One of Pansy's less interesting books, it reads like it was written specifically for the WCTU.


(1 stars)

The sing song cadence of the reader drives me to distraction. I can't take it

On temperance


(5 stars)

This story focuses on the temperance question, political as well as spiritual.
