Practical Temperance Work.

their regular meeting Saturday afternoon 1t
was not intended for publication but it contains
so much of public interest and so many practical
suggestions that are glad to be able to give it
place in our columns
ROCKLAND, Mass, May 10, 1892.
MY DEAR SISTERS: | think it was a year ago
last New Years that received the letter which
you deputized Sister Hicks to write me- and in all
tnat long time have had many an impulse to write
you, which have let pass. But this lovely spring
day brings with it longing for Belfast and among
all the good people whom would like to see, the
old familiar faces in the "Association' are In the
front ranks. Would that | might throw pen and
paper to the winds and step in upon you, but since
that cannot be, etme tell you something of temper

much pleased with the accounts of the public tenn
perancc meetings 1t is gratifying to read how YOU
are enllstng all classes In the work. Here work
in different way. We have not as vet arrived at
the sunday afternoon mass meeting, though have
strongly advocated it. We have about in three
months Sunday evening meeting at the different
churches consisting of music essays and recitations
by the children, but to they are sort of "cu and
dried betorehand' performances, more to be
compared to stirring, down east meeting than
Nunday school TO 4 circus This is wicked com
parlson, but 1t about expresses my meaning and
you VIII understand who it comes from Our Union
celebrated Its lst anniversary last Thursday and
here Is where we do our temperance work. We
nave about hfty contributing members, had last
year. Upon the new basis of representation hope
we shall increase to double the number 1t is u
very social, delightful organization to the few who
may be reckoned as the live members. We meet
every Tuesday afternoon, having missed but three
