ELYsIAN GROVE DIVISION No. This
division of the Sons of Temperance held
its. installation ceremonies at Mulberry
Street Church on Wednesday evening.
Geo. w. Norvell, w. P, andT. w. HALEY,
w A., with the other officers, were placed
in their positions, with appropriate cere-
monies, by Deputy Grand Worthy Patri-
arch Patterson, after which Brother @. S.
Blaekie, Chaplain of Tennessee Division,
delivered an eloquent and effective address
of an hours duration an the aim and OBJ
jects of the order. His remarks were full
of interest, and were illustrated bv inter-
esting anecdotes and Illustrations After a
general review of the objects attained by
following cut the principles of the order,
and an exhoriation to its members 10 be
active, humble and independent, he pro-
ceeded to the discussion of various ques-
tions-such as the increase of an improper
so-called medical aid of stimulants and
the subject of legislative interference The
last he argued strongly against, showing
from the history of the habits of the peO-
pie in Mohammedan countries, how impos-
sible it is to draw too fine a line without
driving many into either the crime espe-
eially intended to be benefited, or to re-
sort to some means of preserving the letter
of the law while evading its spirit. The
Doctor concluded with short review of
Mr.. Thomason's new work" Teetotalism
Contrary to the Law of God" which he
proved to be bad book, though perhaps
written with honest intentions, and showed
that it forfeited our confidence if not in
the sincerity at least in the understanding
of its author The Doctor was listened to
throughout with attention and frequent
applause, and at his close the division re-
quested copy Of his address for publica-
ton in the Southern Son.
T. W. Haley, Esq, followed with few
remarks on the seductiveness of the crime
of intemperanee, and the importance of
all abstalning at once and forever.
The Rev. DR.. Halsell then spoke at
some length on the general principles and
importance of the order and the necessity
of the act of abstinence being voluntary,
endorsing fully the views presented by DR..
Blackie on the Maine liquor law question.
The Division adjourned at IL P. NJ.
