other sums coming in, it was decided a few weeks ago
to set about the work immediately, and now °expert-

wzysiorra.

The Rev. Canon Stephenson gessoes of the principal
sneakers at the annual meatier of the Church of
England Temperance Society on Tosseisy at Salisbury,
under the presidency of the Earl of Nelson. In the
course of his speech he said that total ab..tainers were
strongly roovinced that the principles they advocated
were conducive to health. He stood before them him-
self se • good specimen of • Intel abstainer. (Applause.)
He bad now been an abstainer for several years; at
first he resolved to become one and failed over and
over again to fulfil his promise, but eventually through
perseverance he succeeded in keeping to the principles
be now so highly prised. No one felt more thankful
than himself for the double basis of the Church of
England Society. He found in his experience amongst
the poorer C 11111.41•• that In wearing the blue ribbon he
was exercising a beneficial influence. He bad worked
a great deal amongst the Nonconformists, and found
that they were always willing to give their society the
position it occupied in the land. He maintained
that temperance hal resulted in the accomplishment
of much good In this country. When Sir Wilfrid
Lawson's resolution was under discussion, be
could not help thinking that this was the most
wondrous temperacce meeting they had ever had in
this country; there were o ir great men and legislators
all paying their attention tn the question, and discuss.
ing it with interest and power. It WM indeed remark-
able to fee the time Parliament bad devoted to this
embject. And why was it! He believed it was
bananas our rulers saw the qnestion was taking hold of
the hearts of the people. (Applause.) He thought
the working people wished to have their veto, and
when it was proposed to introduce publichowes
among' them, they desired to have the power of say.
log "No, we do not want them "—(hegsr)—and, as far
as be could see, he could not help thinking they had
, the right rn their own side. Mr. Stephenson men-
tioned that In his own parish, alter being canvassed,
almost the whole of the people seemed to be in favour
of keeping tba publleliousss away from them; but
close to the engine-sheds at the railway-station •
license had been granted to • publichouse. Speaking
of the importance of women's infinencs in the work,
he expressed the opinion that probably they did not
throw that energy into the question they might. He
gave illustrations, and said be was thankful the Church
had seen her way to take this important question up.
