from the temptations to which their
fathers had been exposed by placing be-

Of intoxicating liquors as beverage.
physically, intellectually, morally, finally
urging them to sign the pledge of total
abstinence or in other words uniting with
the Good Templars, as safeguard against
all these evil propensities. Most Of the
people went home satisfied with their in
tellectual fest. Others thought the
precept was good but practice was alto
gether a different thing. We hear the
Shoreham Lodge is in prosperous condi.
ton. The Order Of Good Templars is o
new institution among US, and when its
principles and objects are thoroughly I'm.

popular. How can it be otherwise among
such quiet and intelligent people. We
wish them God speed.
