Christianity.

individuals, we do our utmost to circulate
Temperance tracts in our several towns and
throughout the State.

the drunkards are represented out of their
homes and into the poor houses-therefore

consln will give no peace to Temperance
men, till they give us law that empties
the bottle of the drunkard as we'll as the
kegs of the rumseler

the communion table, often kindles anew
the thirst for intoxicating drnks-there-
fore,

eucharist be not celebrated with fermented
liquors.

in our State, and one which requires imme-
ri ta

ticc to the law makers of Wisconsin, as we
have before done, that the Women are
COMING; that they are fully determined
to give no peace until they pass law for
suppressing the sale of intoxicating liquors

a speedy compliance with our most reason
able request, will make their surrender
more graceful.

Wisconsin, in convention assembled, ex-
