TEMPERANCE.
The Meeting on Monday Night.

After song the meeting was opened
with reading and prayer by President
Brooks. Mr.. Carroll read the minutes
and in the absence Of a programme
from the Executive Committee the
President invited. Messrs. Wheat,
Maple. and Gordon to address those
assembled
Mr.. Wheat alluded to wine in
, sacrament and said our present fer
mented wines were not the good
sweet ones Of scripture such as the
! Lord made, but such as in the. end
bit like the serpent and stung like
the adder. In the present lull OF
temperance interest arising from the
success that had been achieved he
introduced this topic as one that might
be discussed with profit. Mr.. Gordon
said that as far as water went he was
as good as Wheat, but felt at loss tor
something to talk about, there had
been line upon, precept upon prccept
and above all there had been the eN-
ample of nearly all that were present,
and now the enemies Of temperance
were CRYING .'fanaticism.' For his
part he thought q little fanatlclsm
vas a good thing. There never had
been Il reformation that amounted to
ANYTHING without it. There was
danger in i single drink, and he that
INDUCED in such selaces would i'll the
end see his error and fall as many
had before him. The society could
not afford to pause. The word was
still forward. There was work to be
done for families, children, and
friends. He had no personal need
of this movement, but felt that if he
