wife was away from home at the time. She
would not believe that it could be true that
he had reformed, AID when the day came
that she was to return home he met her at
the depot. He imagined that ne beheld in
her countenance The trace OF a suspicion
that the good news she had heard might
prove untrue, and that she would find him
as she had left him, still under the power
of the demon-rum; but as he clasped
her to his bosom and imprinted upon her
face the love kiss, his breath free from the
poison Of alcohol, he felt that it was the
happiest moment of bis life.
To the eloquent appeals Of Mr.. Campbell
about one hundred persons came forward
and signed the pledge. This was the first
invitation extended tor signers and the re-
.ponse to the call for volunteers 10 the
grand army was truly gratifying. Old men
and women, young men and young women,
bows and girls, all came forward and en-
rolled their names and donned the symbolic
badge, a notice to the world that from this
time forward they would use no intoxicat- |
ing drinks as a beverage, and would do
everything in their power to prevent others |
from doing 30.
