We rejoice in knowing that in all parts of
the State the most Jealous workers in the cause
OF temperance are those who are prominent in
their respective churches. Whilst this is as
1t should be, how feeble the influence Of these
few and how meager the results of their
efforts, compared with the moral force Of the
united membership Of all our churches and
the f.uits which might properly be antici-
pated from their combined energies Sus-
taiued, however, thus far by the hope that
christians as a body win undertake the work,
these comparatively few and feeble laborers
appeal, appeal with aching hearts, to every
christian within the State to join III the effort
cause needs more than your good will, more
than your prayers It needs your practical adj
herence, your voice, your tireless efforts and
your steady liberality. Nor will it ever
triumph, We fear uutil it is taken up by you
and made regular part Of the church work.
Do we attain the greatest efficiency In reli-
gious effort BY simply circulating Gods word
