TEMPERANCE NOTES.
WASHINGTON HALL.

WASHINGTON HALL.
A very large audience assembled at
this hall yesterday afternoon, and COM
prised ladies and gentlemen, of whom
any speaker might well feel proud to
have as hearers. As heretofore, the ex.
ercises were in charge of Messrs. Z. &.
Cracrait and j. Melvin Richards. Miss
Ella johnson, orgsnist of Parker Hall
Union, furnished the instrumental mu-
sic, and Mr.. Richards led the choir. The
stage was occupied by the choir and
and many prominent temperance work
ers. Precisely at three clock. the hour
named tor beginning the exercises, sell
ection from the Scriptures was read by
MIR. Richards. Rev. .. L. Miller, Of the
Disciples Church, followed in an appro.
pirate invocation 10 the Throne of Grace,
the large congregation meanwhile stand
ing. After the prayer the hymn, 81
Hear Thy Welcome Voice" was sung.
Mr.. Crscratt introduced rs the first
speaker Mr.. John Westwood, who
made a brief address, after which
the choir sang "Whiter than Snow"
A dispatch from Petersburg was then
read by Mr.. Crscraft, stating that "No
License" had been carried in that city by
800 majority. The announcement was
received with repeated cheers.
While the collection was being taken
up, the choir sang "Deliyerance Will
Come" There being considerable bad
order, the attention of the chair was call
ed to the fact, and steps were at once
taken to preserve proper decorum.
Prof. Charles Loos, OF Bethany Col.
lege, was then introduced, and made
long and able argument. Our space for
bids more than q mere reference to 1t. his
strong point was the efficacy of Faith
and Love. Faith both in God and man,
with the exercise of great love and pa
tiehce not to hope to build up perms-
pent reformation IN drunkard IN
single day, but to labor long and earnest
ly, and at last victory would crown the
efforts OF the reformers.
Mr.. Loos was listened TO throughout
| with the closest attention, and 1T the
conclusion of his remarks was followed
by Mr.. L. &. Cracrsft in one OF his
ablest efforts.
After singing by The choir, the audi
ence was dismissed with the benediction
by Rev. d. A. Cunningham.
The Ladies Band and Wheeling Union
No will hold their first Anniversary
at Washington hall on Tuesday evening
next. An admission fee of ten cents will
be charged. Should there be any funds
on hand after the expenses are paid the
amount will be divided between the two
societies. 1t is thought the exercises will
be fully as interesting on this occasion as
were those of the great jubilee lew
| weeks since.

given at Parker's Hall, on Saturday
night, promised before hand it should be
