of a city liquor agency. After prayer and reuding
of the scriptures BY Rev. Mr.. Crowninshied the
speaking was opened by Col IIersev.- under the
five minute rule. The speaker laid great stress i'm
educating sentiment in favor If total abstinence.
We must begin witt the young to incuIcate this |
sentiment, and instl it into them As a virtue. 1t
must be done at home principalv. Tie would have |
some attractive place FOR the young, some place
equally attractive as the drinking saloon. Mr. |
CroWnin5held endorsed the remarks OF Mr.. Her |
sey, and believed III mild measures He related the
experience Of a reformed man he recently met and
who had been reclaimed by such means. $ l..
Millikcn was called upon, but said ne came to

knew so much more about the subject than himself
}. W. knoWltonsl advocated the establishment of q

agency. If physician prescribed alcohol for his |
wife he would procure it. But If the doctor pre-
