some good is sure to come of it, as
was evidenced after the regular SER
vices last Sunday morning. He gave
his congregation little temperance
talk, and as result thereof, seventy
six male members of the church sign
ed the pledge to abstain from all in
toxicating liquors for one year. While
the reverend gentleman does not wage
war against the saloon keepers, he
aims to have every member of his
congregation sign this pledge. We
heartily congratulate him. and feel
sure that he has taken the right
step. 1t has been demonstrated in our
city. as well as in many other places,
that moral suasion is the only effect
