" Our design in getting up this volume 10 to
add to the stock Of Pure Temperance Littera-
ture, to elevate in the public mind that refsrm
50 full OF promised blessings to the present and
coming generations.
Believing as we do that the Temperance
Reform is one of the mighty agencies to be EN-.
ployed for the elevation Of man, the improye-

the press-the principal medium Of reaching
the public mind-to promote the precious inte-

enterprise.

render the work more attractive and interesting.

Biographical Sketches Of a few of the most dis

are many others perhaps equally deserving a
place in our Portrait Gallery: indeed, all who
have labored devotedly, zealously, honestly and
perseVerlngly in this department Of moral re-
form, should be enrolled among the benefactors
of their race but the extent Of this work pre-
scribes a limit to our selection.
"The elevated character and exalted repnts-
ton Of the contributors to this volume, will BE-
sufficient to commend it to the attention Of the
reading public. Finally, whether our effort to
contribute a mite to the pure literature of the
country, promote the weIlbeing Of society and
the glory Of God, shall be successful, remains
to be seen. Whatever may be the result, we
commit it to the hands Of our countrymen, with
the happy Consciousness Of being actuated BY q
