bers attended the meeting heid SAL
urday, at , O'Clock Pm. The exercises
were excellent. consisting of select read
ing, declarations and singing. The mem
bership is composed of children from five
TO fourteen years of age, with adults As
honorary members, and the pledge Is
triple one. pledging the members to alb
stain from the use of profanity, tobacco
and intoxicating drinks. The children are
proud Of the temple and strive to keep
their pledge and we may venture to affirm
that they are more faithful to their pledges
than the members of any other society IN
the land. The Juvenile Temple is edu-
eating workers for the temperance cause
and the church who will be exempt from
the three great vices which cast n dark
shadow upon the whole country. Train
a child in the way he should go and when
he is old he will not depart from it,
should be needed by our ministers, teach
ers and friends of temperance, and their
presence in the temple would Indicate
that they remembered the precept and had
interest in the training of the children.
The next meeting will be held Saturday,
at 2 o'clock P. NJ, January II, 1879.
1t will interest and rejoice many to learn
that Mrs. Marshall Hopkins, who recently
submitted to severe surgical operation,
is doing finely, with 4 fair prospect for
recovery. DR.. Romans visited her last
Saturday and removed the stitches from
the incision made necessary for the remoy-

position, which had not been altered for a

her through all her suferings. This state
of feeling will aid in her recovery:
