Best sentence of the Wikipedia article about temperance activist Carrie Nation:

“Her methods escalated from simple protests to serenading saloon patrons with hymns accompanied by a hand organ, to greeting bartenders with pointed remarks such as, ‘Good morning, destroyer of men’s souls'.”

One more photo from the family album. This one is titled, "Temperance Procession" and was taken in 1922 by my Great Uncle. I suspect the photo is taken in South Road, Caversham, near Laing Street. (My family back then were staunch Methodists. For years my grandfather wouldn't even play cards on a Sunday, but in his old age, he relented. He and I spent many an hour playing cribbage on his Sunday visits to our home in the late 1960's.)
