TEMPERANCE AT NORTH EAST.

George Elliot" in one OF her books.
say: satan merely tried II sct up rev.
ninrion in heaven, aud when ne failed was
cHl!cd rebel, aud the old provrrb assures
Us that the devil is no. Is black as he is
painted
Some such ideas rs these filled nv brain
an visiting ana trying to talk To the tenn
peranCe meeting at North East, Oh Friday
night. November lsi. | found an audience
filling the church comfortably full. and au
nrganfzitIon embracing in its number some
If the leading citizens of the town, EN-
bracinE not Only the largest tax payers. but
the leaders Of public opinion; all. | am AS
sued by gentlemen, IN whom | have full
confidence, originating Ia the labors of
Mes>rs. Brown aud Thayer. such being
the fact, 1t occurred 10 me that, possibly
had the temperance people OF E.kton sec.
ended their labors, they might have been
equally successful there, and that Mr.. HIN
son might not have lost HIS well eaIne,!
board bill.
At the same time, | did not change my
opinion ot those >trolling evalgsiis;S
Wide glad To Srr the enthusiasm now tx
l>ti'g in North East. 1t would have. to ms
way o! th:nkiug. been much more to its
honor had the movement originated among
Its cItiz Now that the movement has
begun, | hope they will know better than
10 let IT die. and for the benefit uf those
who are conducting it would suggest thai,
while tn reclaim dIunkards is a grand work.

tured Is a g;andrr one.
There Is one thing about those meetings
that commend. they are public and all
l. . has nr If
Temperance or Good T.mpilrs,-a secret
society, working i'll the dark, but an open.
pshllc work that does not dread the full
light of day.
Ia my article nG two weeks ago. there is
ON" sentence ! would like 10 explain
While cuuce,ilng to the church the leader
ship iii such movements, | meant To add
that there was Ii" need to spuru the help nf
those who dad MT believe all the churches
taught. bat who dad believe III prohibition.
The printer omitted the mot " What
mean Is that there are. in nearly all com
mnn!tics, men who, through some mental
prculIaIIty. cannot acc"p; all the teachings
al the church. but vino As truly friends
III reform A. it's most JEALOUS members
Ii should welcome the help IF such, when,
as i often the ease, 1t will Toe readily gwen.
This question OF prohibition Is not a Meth
ndi>t az a Presbyterian movement. bat a
question that Uses high above creed and
faction, a question III which every friend of
humanity, Christian or Pagan. lew or Gen
tile. radical OF conservative believer or in
lihrl, has an equal Interest.
