The Temperance Meetings.

The Maxwell meetings closed Sunday evening
with n union service at Trinity chapel. The hall
was packed full, and the interest steadily in
creased till late hour Hon. c. II. Heath pre-
sided and Rev. Mr.. IIincks opened the meeting
with prayer. Rev. Mr. Parkhurst made the open
ing address, wherein he pleaded most earnestly in
behalf Of the slaves Of drinking habits, and es-
peciay invoked the sympathy and cooperation
Of Christian men and women. Mr.. Maxwell then
spoke for an hour in his peculiarly earnest, char
table and sympathetic style, and produced deep
and, wo trust, lasting impression upon his large
audience. This was well attested by the large
number who signed the pledge at its close, among
whom were many young men, some OF whom had
been victims to intemperance.
This meeting concluded Mr. Maxwelrs engage
ment for six lectures In all, more than two hun
bred names were obtained to the pledge. The at
tenton and interest steadily increased to the last
in spite Of the utter Indifference of large pro-
portion of our protested friends of temperance
and the active opposition Of its foes. To be sure
the season of the year was nausplcious At the
close Of our long and busy days people are indis-
posed and in measure untitled for active and
perseverng effort in the brief evening hour. But
all this would not alone have prevented much
more cheering results from his labors-such as
were experienced at Swanton and St. Adams
Our temperance people are too much divided in
their opinions of the best methods Of promoting
the good cause, and there is altogether too much
tenacity for my way, and too little charity for
hV way. There is good day coming, when all
true friends of the cause will be willing to bury
non-essentials, and join hands in labor for the
triumph of the supreme end. May that day come,
and not tarryl
OF Mr.. Maxwell himself: those who were most
familiar with his labors award him the high
est praise lie sailed under false colors. With
out pretensions to captivating oratory, he told a
plain and truthful story of the terrible ravages Of
intemperance, and clnched his statements with
powerful illustrations drawn from his own sad ex-
perence and observation "With malice towards
none and charity for all" he has regously
consecrated the remnant of his life TO the saliva
ton of that unfortunate class with which he has
so long been associated, and no one, with drop
of even the milk of human kindness in his veins,
can fail to bid him hearty God-speed. We also
take pleasure in adding that we have just seen a
private letter to friend in this place. written by
the venerable Rev DIR. Knox, known the world over
as a life long champion of temperance, who is
neighbor and friend of Mr. Maxwell in which the
latter is spoken of in the highest terms, both in
respect to his character as a man and his we'll
deserved success in the reformatory work to which
he is devoted.
