out n large audience who listened to the
services OF the occasion with marked at
tention. The M. E. choir furnished the
music. Rev. s. Reed introduced the SER
vices by a brief review of the Inaugural
ton of the Union meetings, commended
the w. G. T. U. for their fa~ithfulness,
aud asked that God would bless them in
their efforts and cause their numbers to
be increased, and all the w. C. T. U.
said amen. Rev. L. B. Plat gave the

the traffic in strong drink. He came to
the meeting without knowing he was to

such an extent as would put them beyond
the reach of all men who new spend
more for these articles than they do for
