tedious and tiresome; but the final triumph,
oh, how grand and glorious. This last
thought, with consciousness of right, will
ever cheer and encourage us in our noble
work. 1t may be asked, "ln what manner
will we perform this work." BY educating
the people up to the acceptance Of the
grand truths contained in the temperance
doctrine This we are aware, will require
time, patience and an abundant stock of
perseverance. The teaching of any great
truths involves great responsibilities. The
teacher or educator must be honest and
firm OF purpose; must not only teach by
precept, but also by example. In present
ing the truth contained in the great tenn
pcrance doctrine, we should do so tearlcssly,
honestly, firmly and with dignity, wherever
n favorable opportunity is offered, and also
should never ignore the common civilitics
which are due to all men and women. Let
us ever bear in mind that il is better to per.
suadc than to dcnouncc, that in trying to
heal asorc to irri,ate it as little as possible.
