The testimony of the saved called for, and Mr.
Arbitson, of the Ninth ward, said "there is man
who has been victim to the ravages of rum that -
suffered more than l. But few evenings since
signed the pledge and gave up the cup that leads to
destruction, and thank God for it. Among this
diepce I see men with whom have sat at midnight
revels and the card table, IF there is any who is
in danger it is the moderate drinker For instance.

sober. thought that the applause was grand, and
after tho entertainment l would frequently get
beastly drunk. But now am different man, and.
with the Lord assistance shall continue to devote
the remainder of my life to the cause f temper
ance.'
The song whatsoever Will May Come, was then
the front of the stage and aid:"I think that the
reason why the cause of temperance has little
effect in the United States is because it has not the
cooperation of the churches. have actually been
asked by some church members this question -

speaking in theatresY Whiskey, gin and rum sepa-

statements from the temperance platform look like
exaggerations. He could give dates and towns for
every assertion he would make. 1t was his duty to
speak of special phase of the temperance question
