Maine State Temperance Alliance.

The undersigned unite in calling meeting of the
friends of Temperance in Maine to be held in
City Hall, Lewiston, Wednesday lat z O'Clock,
p. M and = hus sday, Feb. EAST and 22nd,
fhe object being the organization of STATE TEN
TERANcE ALLIANCE, in which shall be united all
the moral and religious elements of society in an
Rstive and well directed war against Intemperance
Regarding Intemperance 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. IL 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 will it be made the insru
nent of any party; but forgetting everything that
divides in other directions, let us come together
as citizens anxious to advance the moral interests,
and preserve the good name of our State and Coun-
try, and let rs organize for campaign in which ev-
cry good citizen and Christian should unite.
The usual reduction of fares by The railroads may
be expected.
