Sunday Evening Temperance Meeting.

Mr.. y. p 1owner presided, and Mr.. II. G.
Lull offered the opening prayer.
The chairman briefly congratulated the
friends upon the we'll sustained interest in
these meetings which was evinced by the large
attendance.
II. A. lluse, Esq, was called upon. Mr..
lIuse said that in rising to speak in temper
ance meeting he felt that II was but to repeat
what bad been said many time TO the same
people who had assembled tonight. The peo-
pie whom we would like 10 see 10 these meet
ings are not here. We cannot get them in.
If downright opponent Of temperance would
come in and discuss the subject, something new
would be brought out. lie believed in feeling
thankful for what has been accomplished, but
the millennium is not at hand. Temperance
people must settle down to the fact that this is
to be a labor Of years. This should not dis
courage, but make them more earnest. Mr..
Ooiax has expressed the belief that in twenty
years there will not be grog shop in the coun-
try, lie hoped this might be so, but there are
many things that stand in the way Of the at
tainmout Of this much 10 be desired end One
Of these is the force Of social custom--the force
that good people exert in the way Of drinking
usages. There are many who would give up
their social glass could they be convinced Of
the effect Of their example. The usagcs Of
polite society justify other classes in their
drinking customs. Men and women think
that good society demands Of them conformity
to custom, and it is the immobility Of this
class that is one Of the chief obstacles to pro-
gress in this work Another obstacle is appe-
tite, which, when once acquired, is 50 difficult
Of mastery These obstacles speak Of not be-
cause they should discourage. bat because they
are to be met. We have a law in Vermont
which, if enforced, is sufficient to suppress the
traffic in intoxicating drinks. But we must
look beyond our own State, and extend our in
luence and labor as much as possible.
Rev. Mr. Forbes, Of Mansfield, responded
10 call from the chairman. lie felt, as the
first speaker had suggested, that there is no
new thing 10 be said on the subject, but we
must continue 10 talk and to work, for it is the
cause Of love for our fellow men. We are
called upon TO take a stand on one side or the
other. There was time when intemperance
was not regarded as it is now. 1t has been
proved to US that the use Of intoxicating drinks
is traught with no good, and it is an impern-
tive duty for every one TO come out against
their use. lie was glad this movement had
developed vomen's work. They have been
most sinned against | do not think many
ladies can be found who arc not decidedly on
the side Of temperance. This cause will ulti-
mately triumph | believe intemperance is to
be done away The time will come when men
and women will regard liquor drinking and
liquor selling as beneath their dignity.
Mr.. II c. Lull spoke briefly, and the meet
ing closed by singing the hymn,
1.-THE morning light Is breaking
