The organ of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, O. [Ohio]) 1852-1853, 1852-09-10
Hcknowledgments.

We have more than once said that
our index Of the state Of the cause was
by our subscription books;
but we do not think this conclusion
will hold good at this particular time.
fit does we would not have much
hope of the ultimate triumph of our
labours-the adoption Of the Maine
Law. Our receipts for the last two
months have been so slim, scant and
meager, that we were almost ashamed
to publish them to the world, knowing
that our friends and enemies judge of
the prosperity of the cause by the
patronage bestowed on the avowed
organ. This, we know, is to be attri-
buted to the scarcity of money!"
the general hard times" &c.--in-
cident to the summer months.
We have now several active, indus
trious and energetic Agents in the
field, from whom we hope to hear a
good account. Among the number
we have the pleasure of naming our
esteemed brother, John r. Williams
old John, as he is Familiarity called.
He is a team, and no mistake, and wo
to that man who claims to be a friend
of temperance, and refuses to give his
name and money for the Organ. From
our knowledge of the man, we would
advise all our friends to subscribe on
the first solicitation; for there is no
getting around him.-Like the coon
and General Scott of Kentucky, they
had better " come down'' as soon as
they see him.
The Fall compaign will soon open,
and we should like to commence our
work with at least five thousand read
ers, at the least calculation. We hope
our active friends will feel it to be
their duty to aid us in the diffusion of
light. The acknowledgements below,
are the entire receipts for two weeks {:
Bro. r. Claudy, of Temperance
vile, O., 81 for the Organ and Illus
trated Maine Law.
Bro. John w. Walker, of Cederville,
O., ST, for the Organ. In his letter
the Brother says: DO not forget
the Illustrated Maine Liquor Law
as no man who properly appreciates
the Temperance Reform, and is posted
up, as to the attempts to regulate
an irregularity, by our Legislatures,
would be willing to do without it. 1t
is an argument that should grace
every parlor, sitting-room and kitchen.
After l send you few more subscrib-
ers, | shall dun you for one for my own
particular benefit. We are enforcing
the Maine Law" in this place, and
we are holding regular Temperance
meetings, which has an excellent
effect. The people, principally, are
getting about right"
Joseph Johnson, P. NJ, Somerville,
o., 81, In the hurry of mailing our
paper, it may be, that occasionally we
omit name, but we do not think that
it could happen more than once in a
great while; but we shall be particular
hereafter in mailing your papers.
