quoted DIR. Holland to the effect that he hoped
this country would never change its drinking
habits for those of Italy. One would suppose
that any "swap' We could make would be a
change for the better. The customary division
of drinkers into habitual drunkards, occasional
drunkards, and moderate drinkers was then
given. 1t is the example of the moderate
drinker, not that of the drunkard, which leads
the boy astray. This man is the sinner. He
has no appetite to contend against, like the in
ebrate, yet he will not deprive himself to save
his brother. Still we must not scold him for he
does not look at it as we do.
This evil of intemperance stares US in the
face. What must we do? Enforce the prohib
itory law, some say. But public sentiment
does not seem to support its enforcement The
only salvation in in the new movement.
At this point the doctor stopped and the au-
dience rising to their feet sang, Crock of
Ages
Capt. Sturdivant then stepped to the front,
and announced that Camp Meeting John Allen
would speak at the Allen Mission tomorrow
evening, and that the regular monthly meeting
would be held Monday evening He closed
with warm commentator of the women's
movement.
DIR. Lewis announced his readiness to answer
any questions as to the Western movement. In
reply to queries be said there was no essential
difference between Eastern and Western char
acter, but the Western women are more indie
pendent, less tenacious of social distinctions,
worth more because they are scarce. If
Western woman absents herself from lecture
she asks the next morning, "Was the lecture
good?" The Eastern woman asks, "Who was
there?" The manner of forming the famous
visiting committees of two was then given,
and their mode of working explained The
committees of two visit the households of
liquor dealers, and labor with him and his fam
lily. At the end of week the committees of
Two become the committees of five, and the
visits are paid to the dram shops instead of the
dwelling houses. This is the Ohio women's
temperance movement. This in the movement
which has been started in Portland to-day. The
men have their work too. They labor individ-
ually with the drunkard and the dram seller.
The movement must be permanent. God will
take care of that. As one of the Western
liquor sellers expressed it, "These women seem
to be pretty well acquainted with God The
prayers of Western women were next touched
upon, and some examples given. He stated
that the one Objectionable feature of street
prayer was now done away wi3h Indeed not
often was there need of praying at all.
At the conclusion of DR.. Lewis's remarks it
was announced that the Women's Association
would meet at the vestry of Chestnut street
church until further notice, and that the Mems
Association would meet this morning at the
Presidents Office, No. IA Middle street. The
meeting then adjourned.
