BILE audience, awaiting their arrival, and among

ger and Abraham Husbands, Vice Presidents;

made some very appropriate remarks upon the
subject which had convened so large a con-
course of people together, after which the Rev.
J. PaXon addressed the throne of grace in
very eloquent solemn and fervent manner, at
the close of which the President introduced to
the audience the Rev. John Chambers OF Phil
adelpha, who occupied over an hour in clear
eloquent and pathetic manner. He spoke of
the Temperance movement in by gone days
when victory perched on all our Banners, but
that the cause had since taken retrograde
step, but expressed his hopes that the cause
would again assume far more exalted posi-
ton as there is not man living who can sue
cesstully advocate the use OF Intoxicating Ii
quors as beverage, that the God Of nature
has plentifully provided for all our wants, that
in the clear cold water with which We are
abundantly blessed, we behold the healthtul
beverage which God has intended to nourish
and invigorate his creatures; in the mineral
springs for which our country is noted, VIC be-
hold the beverage intended to nourish, inyigor-
ate and strengthen the invalid, but no where
had he seen the necessity Of the formation OF
| distlleries. He next spoke OF the pernicous
| influence of the moderate drinker, that in at
tempting to follow the example OF some honor
| able moderate drinker perhaps within the pale
! of the church or even fashionable Clergyman,
| till they find themselves on enchanted ground
| prey to their Unsuitable appetite, thus hurled
into the whirlpool Of drunkenness, and at last
| fill "a drunkari's grave, that thus the moder-
| ate drinkers were leading through their exam
| plS lulluenCb tHOusduuS VI w tho
depths of drunkenness, but if the moderate
drinkers would pledge themselves TO abstain
entirely from all that would intoxicate and all
become temperate, how mnch misery doggy
ton, ruin and vice il would saves who
how much happiness would follow y
would iutoXicate were entirely annSss
single city; how many helpless wives
widows worse than orphan children andN
ing sisters would rejoice in such deliyerM
He next spoke of the generosity of the agricnF
turiSt and tho mechanic, and remlrked that
the money thrown into the rumsellers till is
worse. than thrown away, the only recompense
being an ungovernable appetite, leading IFS
possessor to destruction. lie then read some
statistical accounts, showing concluSlvely the
great evils, Indebtedness, degrldationand vice
arising from the use of alcoholic drinks in the
UEited States and Great Britain. He concluded
by urging upon the people to Join in the cause
and thus give their influence and example to
the cause ofhuWanity and of God, soworthy OF
their support. After which the Band played
some beautiful airs, cheering the hearts of the
people, and enlivening the wood with soft anc
melodious strains ofmusic. The company mex
proceeded to partake of some refreshments
which had been plentfully provided.
After recess Of about an hour, the audience
having assembled, the President introduced
VIM. \. Nichols on grand scribe of the Stat
of Pennsylvania, who occupied over an hou
in an amusing manner but with clear, clUquen
and powerful arguments in favor OF the TEN
, perance movement, charging the failure OF tn
, prohibitory law upon the immortality OF the PEG
pie, asserting his opinion that the moderate
drinker committed mere sin by drinking in
deliberate state of mind than the drunkard VIII

g lie looked upon society as being divided int
0 two great parties under the respective name

: most appropriate appelation for that portion,
g and the cold water party, the former as bein
subdivded into the moderate drinkers and tn
N drunkards of which there are one hnndre

which portion would soon be annihilated wer

y ground of its being injurious to the physic

y the Sons Of Temperance onthe 18th of Decor
~ Der 1912, and spoke of the influence whit
y they had and are still eXerting for good up
10 society. He considered this organZat
superior to any other of the kind in exIstenC
