In answer to the call of those for
whom I have the greatest aud most pro
found respect, I have arisen to offer 4
few unpremediiated remarks. Though
there are others present whose experience
and knowledge in the cause of Temper
anee, is far more extensive than my own
whom 1 had.much rather hear, than to
be heard myself Yet my efforts, though
feeble. trust may rebound to the good
of the Order The theme of Temper
auce IS resouuding throughout our land
And surely il il theme worthy OF be
ing inculeuted by every good and great
mind in the land aud when the subject
of Temperance, Is properly placed before
the people. YOU will see shat Lodges will
spring up around Us, as if by magic
And even now thousands Of the youth
and beauty OF our country are becoming
members some OF whom q regret 10

erages which Fashion had declared TO be
