Beware the bowl! though rich and bright
It's rubies flash upon the light,
An adder coils its depths beneath,
Whose lure is woe, whose sting isdeath.

A RECENT letter from a brother, among
other thing, says: Charges have been
preferred against a member who pleaded
guilty, and at his instance was reobligated.
Soon after this he was again found guilty
of violating article second. This time, how
ever, he denied the truth Of the charge, and
pleades that the drink taken was under a
medical prescription. The committee have
recommended that the brother be reobligat-
ed. 1t is one of those dangerous cases which
are hard to manage, but [ believe it would
be a charitable act to try him again. What
are your views upon this subject""
A Good Templars' lodge is designed to be
the most charitable of all institutions. The
lodge has no funds at its command to be APP
propriated for the care of the sick, as has
the masonic and other institutions, but it is
designed to be even more charitable than
these orders. The drunkard who is cast
out of society and has been kicked about
the streets, from door to door, until he has
not one person to give him a helping hand,
finds friends in the Good Templars'
lodge. 1t is their mission to aid such as
him. They take him from the pit, give him
a welcome to their lodge-room, andteach him
to abandon his appetite for liquor. They
treat him as a brother, and, as such, he is en-
titled to all the privileges and attention OF
members, no matter what may be their
standing. It is often the case that persons
addicted to the awful habit of daily drink,

ttSI tpDC-
u'e' Men OF honor, possessing good intel
lect ana of good business and professional
quailhcations, often fail in their attempt to
regain their manhood. 1t is here that the
lodge should extend its CHARITY in its full
est extent.
A'ere are very many persons in our coun-
Try VINO were once almost as low as the
brute; but who, by the charity OF the Good
Iemplars in Montana, have again resumed
their standing credit and virtue. With some
OF them it took an extraordinary effort to
overcome their appetite. They knew that
their honor was at stake; they had resolved
to be true to their pledge-to touch not
the drink, but when thrown in sight of it,
their craving appetite oyercame them, and
they were won back by the evil tempter,
and but for the charity of theirlo lodge to give
them the second, third, and even the fourth
trial, they would have fallen and gone to
the dogs long since. DO not understand
us to say that the lodge should be l%enient,
for this is not what is meant. The rules,
regulations and laws ola lodge should be
observed and strictly enforced, but the lodge
should deal gently with its members. There
should be no enmity of feeling, and no
prejudices in the lodge-room. Because a
mans acts before he became a member are
not approved by you, or his business is in
opposition to that of your own. or a friend
in whom you have a special interest, is no
grounds for ~inharmonious feelings.
Of all things the harmonious and broth
erly acts of the members are the most COM
mendable in a lodge. All are equal and en-
titled to the same respect. Nothing will
prove more disastrous to the order than for
a person or an association of persons to as
sumo that they are the superior of some
other member or members, or that they
have certain rights and should dictate this,
and that about the workings in the lodge
room. The "rule or ruin' policy may
work successfully in politics, and even in
business affairs, but it will not do in the
lodge-room. The true Good Templar as
pires to no greater attainment than to give
encouragement to the fallen man or to his
brother or sister.
lished rules, laws, usages and principles o.
the order, and each member works to ad
vance his cause and save his fellow man
The brother that falls and asks to be nd
mitted again, will usually be extended the
true sympathy and charity of the order.
