then made VOW that he would never

DR.. Logan was next introduced. He

DIR. Cunningham begun by saying that
it was not necessary for a man to be q
/ drunksrd in order to warn others from
being drunkards. He said that those
who had not been burned had better
view of men and things, to warn others
from approaching too close to the fire.
But he first gave all the praise to God
and his grace. He stated that he was
twenty years old before he ever knew
what whisky tasted like and attributed
bis safe guard to the teaching OF his
parents, as he was always taught to obey
them. He then gave warning to parents
to teach their obedience snd love, and
when in after years they will not forget
the gentle sdmonitions when they
are thrown upon the world, and the
care. OF life. During his ministry nearly

againt the laws of man were the first, that
OF breaking the law OF God.
DR.. George was the next speaker, he
said that he could hardly tell why it was
that he was not q drunkard, but ne ssid
that 1t was the good training of his father
and his great desire to lead and not
be led. He was constantly throw
in society where liquor was used, but
early memories and his fondness Of hear
ing the Bible read, deferred him. Still
he used a little, but finally he saw that
he was forming the habit, and concluded
that this habit was gaining power over
him and he forever discarded it. The
greatest stand that a man can make is to
stand firmly and do right whether your
campanicns like it or not. They will
finally respect you in time to come, and
you will have saved your character and
reputation.
