FOUR METHODS TRIED
in the West. The first, and that which occupied
uine-tenths Of nll tue time, was Rocrot prayer,
and prayer In the churches Another was to ap-

Thcae methods wero perfectly applicable to
Boston, and wero effective. That Of going ~
larger companies, aud praying inside and outside
the saloons, ought not to bo tried
IN LAHdE CITIES.
In Ohio, rum shops had been closed, and not
a single rum-aollor had violated Ais pledge,
given to tho womon. Some women indignantly
askod ii it. Ind come to shis. that HAT; we must GO

tho audience was requested to sing worse Of
"Nearor, My God, to Thoe." Next came
4 SHARP QEEsTIoSER
