victims of mistaken kindness, in being treated
to beer and spirits at throe curses of the rail-
way traveller, tie refreshment rooms. They all
felt it was time that the drivers and guards should become
total abstainers. The Midland Railway Company had
adopted an excellent rule that no merviotts ehoutd be sup-
plied with drink at any refreshment bars at their stations.
and she only wished so good a rule couhl be enforced, not
only on railway servaote but on railway PasettiVire. They
must all feel what • miserable thing it wee to see

inevitable basket containing something to drink, or in
the cue of the firetaclus peasant...he the well-known
pocket-pistol. (Laughter) How nice it would be were
there teetotal carriages—where sensitive noses might
escape from the stnell of sherry and brandy-and-water, or
se the fashion now is, whisky. (la iughter.) She did hope
that her lady friends would remember that they them-
selves were setting • bed example. If they were armed
with these pocket-pistols, thus keeping up the notion
that railway journeys could not be undertaken without
intoxicatins drinks. She begged them to put • stun to
this miserable notion, although she wee glad it was not so
fashionable se it used to be. What did they take it tor!

people were pleading poverty, and crying out about the

many people in these days who would he very glad if they

She referred to the work in the London Temperance
Hospital, in which there hod been not woe case of willul
murder for withholding the alcohol in Aickness ; ant to the
movement In all the unions and in the prisons. Nobody
bad ever said that presoners suffered for cant of drink—
It was for having it they suffered. In conclusion Miss
Weston urged her hearers to take the ribbon or sign the
pledge, if not for their own sake for the sake of example
to others. She asked the tuodeily ore to look at this
question from a Commonsense pun' of view. It was
often said drunkenness was not the only inn. She knew
that, and she knew that teetotalism se -old not save • man's
soul, but she also knew that intemperance prevented •
man's soul from being saved. If they could find • bigger
stone rolled between the poor sinner, dead in sin, and the
L trd of life and light, tell them what it was, and they
would come and help them roll that away too, and, when
they had rolled beck those great stoner, they might con-
fidently look up to Him to speak the word of life. (Ap-

they would set • good ixemple t i others, (Hear, hear.)
Moderate drinkers in temperance were something like
the Pharisee in religion—they think they are doing very
well, and did not seem to be d iing any harm ; but when
they herd that the moderate drinker was the very man
who brought back the drunkard ti his old habits, he
thought they might, by Gars help, say they would abstain.

on teetotal linas. (Applause) Ihe rev, gentleman's
address throughout was • most entertaining one. He

of freemasonry, and a kind of mactetiem between one

them might know there was a teniperance mitielon tt-ing
conduct .d that evening at the Metropolitan Tabernacle

the mothers present, if they wanted their daughters to
have a bett-r chums% to bring them up in the principles

amusing !anecdotes. and the address was throughout • very
able one.
At the close many signed the pledge and were invested

WEDNESDAY.
Notwithstanding the unfavourable weather the attend-
ance was exceedingly good. The Rev. T. Nimes occupied
the chair, supported by Miss Wraton and the Rev. K.
Francis (Bridport)
In the course of an excellent speech the CHAIRMAN said
alter • good deal of enquiry and a seed deal of thought he
had cease to the conclusion (and he hoped all present
would reach the same c that the best thing he
could do was ti cut in his lot with the temperance move-
ment It was in his mind the only practical movement,
and the one grand practical effort which was being made
to solve the difßculty. (Applause.) They had solve 1 tee
difficulty so far, and they had made considerable inroads
upon the intemperate habits of the community, and when
they found Mr. Gladstone was shaking in his .hoes about
his budget, and a deficit in the Etcher, it was =eta proof
that they had made conaiderable p,ogrese (Appl .um.) It
had been said Zugleni drank herself otr of the Alabama
G Haitian, and out of the Abyseinian Question,
au.l he only hoped she wo old not drink hermit out of
the Egyptian question. (L tud Applause.) Their hope in
the Temperance movement was in the emus, and he
recommeoded the fathers and mothers of the working
class—that clue upon whom now devolved lei many
responsibil ties in thus nation,--and who were virtually the
governors or the nation, to throw In their lot for the sake
of their child:go, and not" puts thief into their mouth

Excellent addressee were given by the Rev. E. Fnascis
and Miss WEITOri, but we regret the crowded state of
our colorer's will not admit • lengthy report.
At the close 84 ribbons were taken, making • total of

The Corn Exchange was again well filled on Thursday
evening, when the Rev. 0. F. Pewee occupied the cheir,
the sprakers being the Rev. T. Reeve (C 41,gregational

g ex! deal of reflection and inquiry he had c imo to the
conclusion that the Blue Ribbon movement seemed to he
the practical view of the question. They had put thesis-
selves in bottle array, and although he had not a word t 3
sal agoiu.t the moderate man, he believed the total
abstainers were deeding on the battlements f this great
question, to whom woull be the honour and glory when
the battle wee won. (Appleton.) A great many ad want ages
were to be derived from the repression of We trrriiuto evil,

with practically, such as slavery and every other important
etiolation, which had been successfully handled. The
Ignoble vice of drunkenness reached tuail stages of society,
extending not merely t 3 the working class, let ot higher
classes as well, and th speaker believed there war hardly
• family th.t had not suffered through its dert oerjee
effect. 'Referring to the legislative phase onto- +obi ct,
be said it behoved our statesmen, to whatever ty they
belonged, to tend their eeeee Wants and endem our to
devise some national scheme whereby intemperanc u may
be checked. It was an immense question, and was not to
be settled by oration on the temperance platform. It
should be well considered in the Houle of Cmrsaona.
One thing he thought the Legislation ought to do was to
grant no more licensee than already exitted. (Applause.)
The Rev. T. Reuts next addressed the meeting. Since
he had been on the platform be had been trying to think
whet tamable reason he had In coming so long a distance
to speak on this subject. especially when he sew speakers
on his left and right. He bed travelled MO miles that

Toe Rev. T. EVAISS then addressed the meeting at great

orators it has been our pleasure to hear. With an inex-

earnestnese and • staring eloquence which reaches home.
Throughout his long and splendid speech he was cons
tiouously applauded, and, alter bona ou hie legs for ekes
on an hour, and evinced signs of bringing hie remarks to

Keens mingled his sound temperance arguments with
most stroustng anecdotes, which he told with • dry
humour—(he was as dry as sawdust" is • former
speaker saidl—that provoked roars of laughter. He
spoke of the immense progrms tie go xl cause is making
in Wales, and especially in the large town of ewensea,

London and North-Wmtorn Railway carried 40 tone lees

now no lees tbma 40,000 blue ribbons. (Applause) He
trusted the Church of Curist would continue to work in
the good c suer and he appealed to all Christian people to
put oo the Blue Karroo. (Load appleuse.)
A hymn was thsnsung. and the meeting closed with the
