THE TIE MFE2ANCE MEkIlN0
Held under the auspices Of tho
Young Mems Christian Association
at the City Hall, on Saturday even.
ing was well attended and q decided
success. The meeting was addressed
by J. w. Norris, Rev. Roswell Fos-
ter, and Rev. Sunderland, after
which the following pledge was cir
culatcd which was signed by large
majority Of those present:
: We, the undersigned, promise and
agree that we will not make, use,
buy or sell intoxicating liquors, as a
beverage, nor In any manner enconr.
age the same in others.
No one had any fault to find with
the sentiment Of the speakers as they
hit the nail on the head exactly and
reflected public sentiment by saying
that personal example in fathers be.
ing temperate was what was needed
to keep aons from being Incorporate.
We will suggest to our friends, how
ever, in the spirit Of oil kindness,
that too much speaking in meeting
of the kind that was held on Satnr-
day night is not productive of the
best results. What VIC need now is
action and not too much talk. The
people are ready 10 unite in this
movement for personal and practical
reform and short, pointed address,
at such meetings is all that ia neces-
sary to bring them to il. Let the
