TEMPERANCE MEETiSos.--A revival tenn
perance meeting was held in the Methodist
Chaich of New Hope, on Wednesday night of
last week. Rev. A. Ramsey, of Newtown,
and Dir. Parmlee, Of Omaha, were present and
engaged In the work. After brief introduc-
tory remarks by Pastor Sanderlin, Rev. A.
Ramsey introduced pr. Parmlee, convert of
Mr. Murphy's, who spoke at length upon the
great subject Of temperance. His own thrill
ling history as related by him was an effective
argument of the power Of this evil. He had
been reduced from afiuence to beggary-from
the position of a practicing physician to the
life of a common tramp. His brother secur-
ed him pass to Phila., in order that he might
no longer be disgrace to his fathers family
and friends in Omaha. He travelled by rail to
Cincinnati, and there he sold his ticket In Or
der to satisfy his thirst for drink. For three
weeks he stayed in that city, part of the
time subject to the terrors of delirium tremens
He left Cincinnati and wandered, he hardly
knew where,and eventually reached the " City
of Brotherly Love-" Here Mr.. Murphy was
holding "Gospel Temperance Meetings" One
night he attended one of these meetings and
was much affected by what he saw and heard
Earnest temperance workers encouraged him
to make new departure and free himself
from the bonds of intemperance. He Was
converted and lost all appetite for the intoxi-
eating bowl. The speaker was listened to
with close attention, and after he ceased speak
ing. one hundred and twenty-six persons sign
ed the pledge. The Reform Club of Lambert
vile contributed largely to make success Of
the meeting, particularly in the direction of
swelling the audience.
On Thursday evening another meeting of
the same nature and in the same place was
held. Rev. A. Ramsey, of Newtown, and
Dr. l.. G. Rice, President Of the Lambertville
Reform Club, delivered good addresses
About sixty names were added to the pledge.
