the members have ever sadly felt the need of
a place of their own, home, where they
might assemble for prayer, consultation, or
the carrying out of the plans they might de-
wise in furtherance of the Temperance cause.
The several churches of the place, have in
deed kindly opened their doors to them, yet,
in accepting this hospitality, they have en-
countered serious Inconvenience, and for the
past year, have held their prayer meetings in
good sisters private parlor waiting aud
trusting that the Lord, 10 His own good time,
would supply their need.
And now, inspired with faith for the flu
ture, and aided by sympathziug friends, they
have rented the room over Mr.. Cochran's
