they hoped to capture the audience. He badsol
no apology for the position, he occupied Us an
advocate Of temperance. He fell, ,honored. az

drunkards only. This is true in part, but /
thank God there are ladies' and gentlemen
who never tasted drop Of liquor. s.

+ The Independent Order Of Good Tenn
phrs seeks to identify the women Of this fair
land with our, order because they exert so
much Influence, and alas that some Of them
are rot altogether total abstainers. We are
indebted to the women for much Of the sucs
cess that has crowned our efforts. Our order
now numbers:sixty one grand lodges. Our
! field Is the world; we are 10 large numbers
all over the world. We now number seven
hundred aud fifty thousand members, and
our prospects are improving. We meet with
: many persons who would join us II we:
would allow the social glass Of wine, but We
war with great evil, and we make no con-
