Honorary Membership.

We have been requested to give the Rule
of the Order Of the Sons of Temperance. if
there be any such Rule, for the admission
of Honorary members We proceed, there
fore, to give the desired information;
Article 18th, of the Revised Rules, by the
National Division, says" No Subordinate
Division shall admit q person as an bonary
member" But the ID Section Of Article 5,
Constitution Of Subordinate Divisions, pro-
! vides: That persons Of old age, or under
disability or sickness, may be admitted, but
remain in the position Of members not en-.
titled to benefits"
By this clause Of the Constitution, we I'm.
derstand that Subordinate Division may re
ceive elderly gentlemen as %visitors, without
requiring of them The fees Of initiation ant
weekly dues. they. of course. having NJ
claim upon the Division for peeuniary bene

Woman's Answer.

A writer illustrating the fact, that some
errors are lifted into Importance by efforts to
refute them, when they need to be treated
with wholesome doses of contempt and ridi-
cufe, observes that all the blows inflicted by
the herculanean club ofcertain logicians, are
not half SO efectual as o box on the ear Of a
celebrated atheist by the BAND of beatty
After having in vain preached to circle Of
ladies, he attempted TO revenge himself by
saying, " pardon my error ladies, / did not
imagine that in a house where wit yies with
grace, l alone should have the honor of not
believing in God" "You are not alone. sir"
answered the mistress of the house, " my
horses, my dog, my cat, share this homer
with you ; only these poor brutes nave the
good sense not to boast of it."
This reminds us Of what occurred a few
years ago on a steamboat, on one of our ives,
tern ri sers. A thing, in the shape of a man,
was g~loryfying in his atheism, ~avowing thai
the present life was all of a man that he
had no soul and there was no hereafter.
And SO you say you have no SOUL" as.
ked a gentleman in the grenp eEideAtly de
signing to reason with him on the subject
" No" replied the atheist, {" not "a whitmor,
than a pig" The gentleman was about /,
enter on an argument with him, when al
! elderly Scotch lafy spoke up smartly, /" Sir
| hope you will not spend your breath reason

he has nea mair soul than u pig and ye wa

For the Spirit Of the Age.

49,
Bro. GoRMAN Thinking perhaps you
would like to hear from the Temperance
in this part Of the field, l take
occasion to inform you, and the numerous
readers of the much loved SPIRIT, that the
work is going on brayely. Until recently
our Division has keen in rather a languish-
ing eondition-not doing much more than to
meet and adjourn-and it seemed as if the
tide Of i~ntemperance would sweep US away ;
but still a few faithful ones who, like Paul
Jones, 'had'nt began to fight" determined
to nail the flag to the mast head and battle
on for the rights Of bleeding and suffering
humanity. 1t seemed that the pail which
surrounded US grew darker, with no sigss Of
the coming morn of brightness and three
weeks ago we met, a few Of us, to deliberate
whether or not we should abandon the work
and give up the Charter. Some of the faint
hearted were in favor Of giving up, some
Withdrew, while a few remained firm and
determined to stand as a torlOrn hope to lead
the way through the dark defles of opposi-
ton and difficulty; and each Une of this
noble band vowed to dedicate themselves
anew to the holy cause OF Temperance, and
lab0ur to bring others to the Temple Of
refuge. where they might be safe from the
burning and whitening breath of intemper
ance. Since that time we have had thirty
aceessions to our noble order, all in two
weeks. Now we have a noble band to battle
for the cause of all mankind, and help to rol
on the Car of Temperance ; and we intent
to admit the ladies into our Division, which
has heretofore been neglected, to cheer u
by their smiles in our labour of love AM
help US to swell the chorus,
Freedom to a ransomed world"
