MENr-A Temperance Society was organized in the
Congregational Church in Chryse-st under the care OF
Rev Dr. Lansing the evening of the 4th inst the oo'
ect of which is to induce the members OF the Church
and CATION far they can be persuaded to do
60 TO take the Pledge and become the active advocates
Of the cause Should all the cations ofthe various
religious denominations in the City do this, new and
powerful impulse could be given to this great cause OF
humanity and an amount of talent and influence would
becou,e pledged to il and interested in IT, which have
hitherto held no practical effective relation 10 the Tom
perance cause. The Ministers would thus feel them
selves sustained by their congregations and they in turn
would be animated by the warm: hearted exhortanons
and practical zeal of their Pastors Thus in these Con
gregations Societies should and permanent elements
to sustain great City organization to be composed Of
delegates from the respective Congregational societies.

more persuasive influence upon the masses OF commu
nifty than has hitherto been realized.
