nr. Charles Jewett.

= 49,
Among the resolutions passed atthe
State Convention, at Columbus, was
one inviting the distinguished pr.
JeHett, of Massachusetts, to visit
Ohio.
We are well acquainted with this
Brother, and his style Of speaking,
and without depreciating in the least
the value of other worthy advocates Of
our cause, we have no hesitation in
saying, that no man in the Union is
better qualified to do good in Ohm,
than DR.. Jewett. We suppose his SEA
vices may be had andsif sesiys
appointments can be made for him,
with an assurance that he will be well
sustained, we shall write to him, and il
possible, have him spend a few months
with us. The Doctor has devoted the
best energies of a useful life to the ad-
vocacy of the reform in New England
His great desire is to do good. He
is poor, and has large and dependent
family, and those who require his ser
vices should give him a suitable re-
compense. We are not prepared tC
say positively, but we suppose tha
ten dollars>a lecture, with small con,
tribution to meet travelling expenses
would compensate him.
Let the friends in the different To-
calities bestir themselves, and report tC
the Chairman of the State Centra
Committee, what they are prepared tC
do in the premises. We know of othel
valuable and honorable advocates o
Temperance and the Maine Law, whC
can be obtained, and we ought to have
several in the field at once, if W,
would have the State thoroughly can
vassed.

Miamitown Division. No. 81.

This Division, we are informed by
Bro. Orr, is in a most nourishing con-
ton at the present time. 1t was in
Stituted in 1916, and on the last meet
ing night, eight new members were in
itiated-being larger number than
was ever received at one time since
its organization.
We might say, in this connection,
in reply to the oft-repeated question
as to whether our Order, generally, is
in as prosperous a condition now as it
was a few years since, that it never
exhibited stronger indications of mant-
! ling health and yigor-of unity in ac-
ton and fixed determination to crush
the liquor traffic, than at this time.
To this end Providence raised it up,
and having nobIy surmounted all the
| prejudices and obstacles incidental to
every new SCENE Of reform, it is now
beginning to fulfilits glorious mission
You might as consistently say that the
bright orb of day, as he rises in ar
uncIouded oriental sky, is weary in his
majestic course, and is growing dim
as to say that our Order is weary anc
fading away. 1t is just verging to it,
zenith. 1t is gathering strength as j
flows onward, like the irresistible tide
of the great deep which watts navie

Glorious News from Kentucky

The Kentucky New Era, of the Sth
inst, comes to us bearing the glorious
tidings Of mighty battle fought in
the city Of Lexington, on the first day
of the new year, between the friends
of Temperance and the devotees Of
the usurper Alcohol, in which the
former achieved a most signal tri-
umph over the old tyrant. The issue
was a fair one. The friends of hui
manlty gave timely notice that on that
day they were resolved to make an
open, bold, uncompromising attack
upon the enemy, and either win a
glorious victory, or fall proudly sus-
taining their principles. Their enemy,
not willing to surrender without an
effort, rallied all their forces-their
rum holes were thrown open, and all
friendly to their cause urged to drink,
without money and without price, and
importuned to either vote with them
or stay away from the temperance
meetings, and not be induced to give
aid and comfort to those who seek tc
7 abridge their rights! But it would
not do. Their cup was full. The
, Almighty's vengeance had blazec
upon their wall, and the result was, tn

State Convention.

We publish entire in this number of

Convention at Columbus. The Con-
vention was remarkable for its num-
bcrs, the intelligence Of its members,
and the unanimiLy Of sentiment that
prevailed. The discussions were very
able and interesting We doubt
whether a more intelligent and inhu,
entiaI body Of men ever assembled in
the State. We cannot give even al
outline Of the speeches made. Many
counties were well represented. Ham

Montgomery county had not a singI

German Mission.

Not the least important movement
of the State Convention was the in
cipient step tuhrn to have an effort
made to enlightcn the German popu.
Iation of Ohio, in regard to the great
Temperance reform.
We have probably $4,000 legal vo-
ters who know nothing CT the English
language, and have no just concep-
ton of what we want. The German
papers are either entirely silent, or
they oppose and misrePresent the OBJ
jects of Temperance men. There
ought to be a German paper at once
established, which should calmly and
fully canvass the claims of our cause,
and one or more able German speak
ers employed for the same purpose,
This is a most hopeful class, and labor
thus expended will tell nightly. The
Germans are a reading and thought.
full people, and the great majority o.
them may be won over and induced
to enter actively with us against the
villainous liquor traffic. This work is
entirely Of a missionary character, anC
for a time must be prosecuted by those
who appreciate its importance-whost
hearts are warm in the cause, and whc
are willing to put their hands in thei
pockets and contribute their money t
secure so desirable an end.
We wish we could reach the Who'll,
mass of Temperance mind in Ohio
and impress upon it the magnitud
and Importance of the enterprise j
% which we are enlisted. Could we d
so, there would be no want Of none
y to carry on this warfare. Germa

Huzza. for Alabama II

N A great State Convention has been
held in this State, at which the best
feelings prevailed.
The following resolution was pre-.
sented and discussed for two days, and
4nanimously adopted, the whole Con-
vention standing with uplifted hands
in token of their d determination to carry
out the resolution.
Resol0ed, That the Convention re-
commend to the ensuing Legislature
the passage of law similar in its
spirit to The Maine Law, and that we
bind ourselves to vote for no man fo1
the Office of Senator or Representative
in the next Legislature, who will not
pledge himself in advance, and in
writing, to support such a law.

| the National Division, presided. The

Enthnslastlo Temperanoa lIaetings


1t has seldom been our lot to wit
ness a more enthusiastic Temperance
Meeting than was held at our steam
boat landing on Sabbath afternoon
last. The wharf was densely crowded,
and spirit Of deep interest animated
every heart. The immense concourse
of people, Of all ages and condition in
life, were chained to the spot for near
two hours, by the irresistible argu-
menls and eloquent appeals of Brother
Cary, who, upon this occasion, was
more than himself. After he was
through, the question was put, "should
our Legislature enact law similar to
that of Maine z" When almost every
hand was uplifted. The negative then
being put, two or three were raised
against it. Brother Carey was fol.
lowed by Brothers Gregory and
Edwards, who briefly, but ably ad
dressed the meeting. About 80 signed
the pledge on this occasion. Wha
better evidence can we ask than this
of the real sentiments of the grea
mass Of the people of Ohio upon lhi
subject? All that is wanted, is t,
have the subject fairly presented t
them, and every one is convinced @
its importance.
