Vioh. mere IS perhaps no oet'er means
OF reaching the masses OF our people and
making a permanent impression on the
public mind. II lt can be combined, as
contemplated by the plan, with public lee
lures, we would look tor great and gratlty-
ing results lhe future success OF our
great reformation and OF our order depends
upon the thorough enllgtening OF the pub
nc mind. NO impression can be lasting
that Is not based reason and understand
ing. Truth pressed upon the heart and
conscience will sooner or later, produce its
legitimate fruits, which Will become visible
iii the suppression OF the sale and use of
Intoxicating liquors.
10 render Colportage efflclent for the
greatest possible amount OF good that 1t
can accomplish, it would be necessary to
have one general superintendent whose
entire energies snon-d De devoted 10 THIS
would be infused into the system. a more
direct supervision of Colporteurs secured
while personal intercourse with Divisions,
and public addresses would do much to ad-
vance the Order. Ii the funds OF the q.
L. would justify 1t, we would not hesitate
to recommend modlhcatlon OF the plan
ana place It under the direction OF our Ell
hclent superintendent.
Another suggestion winch your COM
mlttee would make IS, that as soon as pos
sloie we should undertake the Preparatlon

particular Tune. In the mean time we
nope great good will result even with our
necessarily imperfect organization which IS
perhaps the best that can now De adopted.
