blies LE Gin was t ten celled on to speak. In the
course ot • vsry sensible end pleasant a idrest, sloe referred
to the merited decroree wharh hod taken eland in the
drink bill during the year. For the year 1850 the bill
amounted to over 122 million., witich was aVd millions
less than in the previous year. The-e, no doubt, were
many reasons for this, but she could not help f
lug that a Indy important mite was the progrees
made in the temperance wotk and "Its number
of teetotalers in the cow.try. Ste urged them to
use every effort in the cats-, and during the next yeor
she hoped they woe's' lessee it by tin or twenty intlitone.
(Applause.) This, however, c mid only be dme by a
unite I edort—a long pull, a 'trent pull, and a pull all
together. (Hear. beer.) Toe drink bill actually amount al
to £3 per bead, or .Cl 5 p-r family, throughoot the country,
and it was an alio lute tact that it the people sf the
country were to abstain iron intoxicating I.quor fur two
m nabs the money saved would Pay Stet COit of the
Afghan War, and if for six month. they could porchase a
shilling Bible for every heathen who waist preeent with-
out one. (Hear, hear.) She referred to the evil. caulk sl
by Sunday drinking, and she earnestly. asked those pre-
sent to endeavour i.e the utmod of tie it Dower to put it
down, and to promote the helioess of God's day. She
urged her hearers to try might and main for the Sunny
Clueing Bill and the Loral Option Bill.
Mr. WILSON, in an aid real on the working°, the Church
of Engleud Temperance Society, alluded cub feeling. of
thankfulnese to the generosity of the 0-net County
Ass cciation, in allowing the ob recta and priaciples of his
society to be med. known. Re explained the double
basis of the Church ot Eastland Society; by the moderate
section thousands of pertons Joined tbe tensperasca ranks
who otherwise would have nothing to do with it. Tbe society
bad likewise protnottd the Coffee Tavern movement more
than anything else. (Hear, hear.) It. value had been
amply proved by the vest increase in its numbers. At the
annual meeting last year tits number or members was just
over WOK whereas at the recent annual meeting they
had hicrehaed to 300 ill. (Applause.) About six y sere
ago they only 'had 711 clergymen iu its ranks, whereas
they now had 7.1100. Ot e born 3,000 were total abstainers.
In conclusion be hoped his heiralli wogld be enoourated
try the progress which the cause had mad. to take en
Increased intere.t is the work. (A.pplsuse.)
Miss WsurrOn raid the tenth of the old proverb was as
strong now WI when first formed into word., " Diedr, nit
wurJr, for Euglishm •ri and Englisbwornen.' It was not
an easy matter which they lied in hand. She did net
wonder people did not like to face it, because when they
Came to look into it, it was net • very pleasant thing.
Still it was mg:leaven which they must face and in which
they would have to use every effort for good. She was a
member of the Church of England Societe and quite
appreciated the exc ill.nt cervices which it was doing.
The moderation section was a very good one, as far as
it went, but she believel the only remedy for the
present state of things was total ab rtinence. (Applause.)
Concluding an excellent addreee, which was listened to
with marked %Mention, she impressed on her hearers the
need for renewed efforts in the work, aud to help forward
• cause which was trying to stem the dde of intemperance
which was roinin; and disgracing our country.
