remittances for the Organ for the week pre-
vious. They were so small, in comparison
with our weekly receipts heretofore, that we
were actually ashamed to let our friends
know the amount. But while we write
thus, let no one anticipate that though they
were so small for the week, the Organ is in
any danger. Our "organ" has not yet
finished one tune and before its notes shall
cease to animate the friends of temperance
and humanity, and send alarm throughout
the ranks of the rumites, we have several
more to play.
We hope our friends will be up and doing,
ever remembering that the Organ works
only for the good of the cause, and those
who desire to do likewise, will hest promote
their desires by giving the " Organ wide
and extended circulation. A dozen copies
of the Organ circulated and read, in any
community, will do more effective aud last.
ing good to the cause, and in reforming the
fallen, than as many eloquent lectures, de-
livered by as many lecturers, whether they
be Coughs, Carys, or what not. Expert
ence will bear us out in this. A single lee
ture delivered by prominent lecturer, will
cost as much as twelve copies of the Organ !
If what we have stated above be true, would
it not be mark of wisdom in our friends
to patronize the Organ? We think SO, and
are only sorry that others cannot be made to
see with u.s. Let the friends of the paper
make another effort merely to test the truth
of what we have stated. We will relate
one fact that came under our own observa-
ton. One of our citizens--a confirmed sot
desiring to extricate himself from the
grasp of Alcohol, became a little warmed
up, and took the pledge from Father Mat
thew. No sooner was the excitement and
novelty of the act over, than he found him
self back in his old haunts, even worse than
before. Not long after this, our distin-
guished Brother, Cough, came along, and
our friend was again warmed up, and again
pledged his honor as man, to quit the
damnable practice. He was true to his
VOWS so long as he could hear the eloquent
Cough. With the departure of Bro. Cough,
went his enthusiasm, and again his vows
to lead sober life were forgotten. A friend
of his sent him the Organ regularly--he be-
came interested in it, and read it diligently.
He again vowed to lead a sober life, and in
the absence of any excitement, he is now a
consistent temperance man, and in the quiet
of his own home, where peace, plenty and jog
reigns, forever, we hOpe,) he carefully reads
the Organ, and other temperance publica-
tions, as week after week passes away, and
his faith in his ability to keep sober is re-
newed. So much has the "Organ" done.
Let any brother who desires to test the
matter, do SO, and our word for it, it will
have the desired effect. But we are di-
crossing.

seven names and $7.0U The brother is in
formed that we will attend to his request at
our earliest convenience.
Bro. W. Tibbitts, jamestown, O., sends
us two names and $200--an addition to
former club. Bro. 7. says he is to lecture
in jamestown tonight, (May 27;) and he
intends to introduce and make an effort for
the "0rgan." The Bro. is right he should
never fail to mention the "0rgan on such
occasions. II, by his eloquence, he should
move any hardened reprObate to forsake his
cups, the "organ" will be as sticking pIas-
ter to his VOWS.
