hathio4 club in the town! Surely with each grand

and I bops you will open your clluaans for oommual-
c.ti ,na o the 'abject.
I thi,dx that II our worthy Mayor would take the
matter In baud and oonvene a public meeting, 'wafts'

I would angsrest that a club be formod with an
annuel subs ziption of abmt 2.. 61., and that per-
mission be obtained to cut the woods and clean out
the mod in the riror Frome in close proximity to
Poundbury. Doubtless, also, a small shod might be
erected for the conveniettcs of members, each of who..
would h•ve a key.—Tritsting that others will give their
opiuion., I am, sir, yours obediently,
Baran.

CFI URGE! OF ENGLAND TIMPERANCE
SOCISTE

To the Editor.

Sir.— I have been lel to 'eke up my pen and corn-
mince this letter, to which I would earnestly direct
the attention of your reader..
First of &111 would draw attention to the fact that
the society was launched with the distinct cot fwma-
Conga the Convocation of the Church, se well as of
the two archbishops, and that by It. doable basis,
admitting ash does thee who ore not total &hotelmen
to be members of the society on perfectly equal
terms with them nit I do abstain entirely, it emphat'•
tally declares its principle to be that of Christi en
liberty ar regards intoxicating drieb. The Church of
England Temp •rance Society has never attempted to
put forward total abetinente as a rule fr all, but It
so reooramended ma special remedy for the ' present
and se • ad. gnard, with Go I. help, in the
midst of the exiseseive temptati no which are now to
Im met with on all sides" With its general section
far those who are not total abstainers, aa well as its
total abstinence section, sad using the muy ways
In which assistance am be given to the temperance
cause, th•re appears to be no reason why everyone
should not be a member of the Church of England
Temperance tioc'ety ; if such were the use, surely we
cannot doubt that intemperance, would soon cease to
be the meat obetactle that it is to the church's pro-
gram and work. The practical working of the double
basis in this diocese is shown by the fact that out of
186 Incumbents in pari.hes where branch,. are estab-
lished, 129 are not t.tal abetolaus, but members of
the general earl in.
As regards the various kin& of work to be carried
on by the united effort of the members of the societr,
I may mention the f 'flowing :—(1.) Valuable help
can be given is forming a sound public opinion on the
temperance titteetion, and esnedally by condemning
intenstserents. (2) Making a decided stand snelest
Dm di inking customs of the prevent day (which lead to
so mach bard drinking). such as treating, wetting
bargains, ecc. (3) Encouraging as much as pusible
the giving of money Instead of beer or cider, especially
In the hay and harvest field. (1) Encouraging
the use of temperas*. drinks, •is the hay and
harvest fielde (5. ) Procaring • plentiful supply of
good water in every town and village, and encourag-
ing the use and eale:of milk. (6) Distributing the
society'. periodicals, pamphlet', leaflets, ac.., which
is ous of the beet ways of advancing the cause of
temperance. (7.) The promotion of coffee taverns. The
number of tecoperaaos club., coffee taverns, and
rooms where only temperance drinks are wappiled in
