These resolutions called forth warm
discussion, especially the second, which
was participated in by Bros. Hoag
Smith, Damon, Pickett, Brooks and
Purinton, and sisters Upper and
Tucker. W. c. T. Nancy suggested
that as Bros. Pickett and Brooks had
responded in regard to the ministers
and Sister Tucker in behalf of the doc.
tors, Mrs. A. p. Upper should re.
| spond in behalf of the lawyers, which
she did in good style. Brother c.
Smith, in referring to the last resolution
thought that Juvenile Templars were
ahead of Good Templars In two re.
spects, viz, abstaining from the use OF
tobacco, and from using profane Ian.
guage. After considerable debate the
resolutions were adopted. Closing
