Maine State Temperance Alliance.

The undersigned unite in calling a meeting of the
friends of Temperance in Maine to be held in
City Hall, Lewiston, "Wednesday tat z O'Clock,
p. M and hu, sday, Feb. 2lst and 12nd !,
the object being the organization of a STATE TEN
PERANcE ALLIANCE, in which shall be united all
the moral and religious elements of society in an
active and well directed war against Intemperance
Regarding Intemperance as the destroyer of wealth,
character, health and happiness, and as the enemy
of the Republic and the Church of Christ, we call
upon the citizens Of Maine, regardless of political
or religious affiliations, to attend this meeting, par
ticipate in its deliberations, and then unite their
hands and hearts to crush out this great evil.
An amendment to our State Constitution will,
doubtless soon be submitted TO the people, and we
must prepare for the coming conflict. 1t is time
for counsel, for earnest prayer and united action.
This meeting is not called in the interest of any
party, set of men, nor viii it be made the insru
men of any party; but forgetting everything that
divides us in other directions, let together
as citizens anxious to advance the moral interests
and preserve the good name of our State and Coun-
try and let Us organize for a campaign in which ev-
cry good citizen and Christian should unite
The usual reduction of fares by The railroads may
be expected.
