Thompson's temperance sermon, redeliv
cred by HIM at Washington Hall, on ac-
count of special request therefor, And
take this occasion TO express regret that

dent Of Washington and Jetiarson Col
lege; Rev. Dr. Kelley, of Fourth Street
NJ. Z. church; ,of Rev. Mrcus Ormon d,
of West Alexander; Rev. VIM. Grimes,
OF Cadiz, o.; Rev. Stewart, OF Steuben-
vile, o., and other ministers OF the Cos.
pei, whose names cannot be distinctly 70.
called, were not synoptically, if not pho
geographically taken, so that they mis- ht
be filed with your records. A like regret
should be coupled with and concerning the
efforts of Ross j. Alexander, of Bridge
porto, and other legal and mercantile
gentlemen, who cast in their lots with your
cause, and dared, TO the detriment of
their pecuniary interest or political pre-
ferment avow their sympathy with and
adhesion TO your cause.
In the meantime you, Mrs. President,
had taken up your residence among Us,
and on the 7th of April, your election as
vice president of the Band is record
ed. On the 8th OF April, Mrs. l.. a
Hagans, having sent in her resignation
as President OF the Band" on account of
removal to Chicago, your election to sue
coed her was made a unanimous one.
To refresh your memory i herewith
send r report of the city Council pro-
ceedings at the time you presented the
petition against license, or for the taking
of vote in regard to the refusal thereof.
There are many other extaacts, no.
tlces, comments, &c, which might re-
vive memories, and perhaps stimulate all
of us to enter afresh upon that work, but
forbesr.
Yet in closing would again remind
the League of their promises,
for am almost convinced
that the men have failed in
that y pera House organization of last
December, known as the West Virginia
State Temperance Society, and now call
upon you to redeem this pledge. (See
accompanying document marked "D'D,
off the men fail the women will take
itup"
Hoping for your success, / hesitate
not to say, that He whom you are serving
in this temperance cause will ralso up
for you that friendship which lie from
Tune 10 tlme may will, and you may
need, and wishing for Heavens best
blessings upon your labors, and the &C
complishment Of your highest hopes
thereby / am, &C.
