by which we mean total abstinence. We
should guard against a baleful social inf1u-
ence, the habit of treating and the like. MIR.
Miller referred to the fact that Iowa SUNDAY
schools and Kansas churches have the credit
for the temperance victories gained in those
States. and wanted to know we are going to
do about il. Moral and religious courage is
the great need Of the day; let Us be martyrs
of necessity. Mr.. Wright thought this ques-
ton must soon be faced at the polls; and
there in his opinion temperance means pro-
hibition. The great evil OF intemperance
must he met in the strongest possible man
ner. Mr.. ClarkSon spoke of the tremendous
political influence welded by the liquor in
tereSt, and thought this question should
be met squarcly.
