sub. to Organ. Bro. R, says; "There is
good feeling beginning to manifest itself
here, people beginning to see the necessity
Of doing something. A short time since, a
mana Brother Son Of Temperance-who
had beenredeemed for eight or nine months,
and often cheered US in the Division room,
came to town, gave way to temptation, and
in six or seven hours afterwards, was run
over by train Of cars, and his body crush
ed, killing him instantly. Oh, Bro, feel
as reformer should feel. the necessity Of
keeping out Of temptation. / too have felt
the blighting effects of the rumseller's BUSH
ness. God speed the day that will carry to
us the cheering news that the Maine Law
is enacted. When that time comes, want

bers: +" We had mostinteresting meeting
in our Division on Saturday evening. We
received one proposition-there were but
eleven brethren out, but we had a regular,
old fashioned, union meeting. The best
of feeling prevailed, and l firmly believe
our Division stands on finer foundation
than it did one year ago. We interchanged
freely our views and feelings on the subject

resolution to have speech every meeting
from some one of the brethren. The sub.
