| ply them to the duties of practical life.
Such procedure is recommended upon
consideration of the highest impor-
lance. Nothing less than the preserva-
| tion of our free institutions is involved.
Onward, F" is the watchword of the
age; and onward our nation is going
in wealth, population and in the
means of advancing, any object that
may seem desirable. 1t is of the ut
most Importance then, that this won
derfnl progress in the material world
should be accompanied by a cores
ponding progress in moral, intellectual
and political education, so that when
our nation shall equal other nations in
wealth and exceed them in numbers
we may not be mortified by reason of
our inferiority of character and vir-
tue.
This is the great glory of our nation
that it is made up of a people who are
capable of high degree of moral and
intellectual culture; that it is capable
of producing not merely few speic-
mems of superior excellence, but an
entire people, we'll educated in all
that is essential to form and elevate
the individual and make him pillar
in society. This can be done only by
preventing the progress of morality
and intelligence from being outstrip-
ped by the growth of the material
world. If the time shall come when
our energies as nation, shall be di-
rected to the promoting of mere phys
zeal comfort; if the sacred fires of NOR
atty and intelligence be suffered to
grow dim on the alter, our doom is
fixed.
We may for a time enjoy an over
grown prosperity, but like that of
Carthage, it will totter on its sandy
foundation and our republic will be
smothered in it's ruins. There is no
infallible proof that our republic is to
be dispaired of until its individuals
think that they have nothing to do for
its advancement. To cultivate the
feeling of Individual duty in himself;
to promote it in others is an obligation
laid on every citizen. lie must expa-
triate himself to be absolyed from it.
1t is universal law of American duty.
1t is imposed on him by the highest
and most sacred of all obligations, the
Christian religion. 1t is commanded
by the noblest system of civil and pc.
litical liberty man has ever founded,
the institutions of these United States.

Temperance.
CONDUCTED BY THEW. G. I. U.
"F0r God and Home and Natiue Land"

From the Union Signal we CLEAN
many good things concerning the work
of the w. G. II. u. near home. Mai
den Rock Union has a wide awake sec
rotary who sends good news to that
paper, and shows what earnest, pray
erful women may do. The article is
too long for our corner, but the gist
of the matter is that election day was
day of triumph for the Union of
that place. The congratulations of
our Union are with them.
FROM THE MAIDEN ROCK UNION.
The oldest Massachusetts Temper
ance society still lives, its existence
dating from 1913. 1t is supposed to
be the oldest in the world.
The greatest cause or the the sue
cess of the temperance ticket at the
late election is due to the untiring
efforts of the ladies of the w. @. T. U.
Since the temperance board has held
sway there have been no drunken men
staggering through our street MAX
ing night hideous with their drunken
yells. We do not doubt but that some
liquor is sold on the sly, but who shall
say that prohibition is failure even
if some do break the law; might as
well say that all laws of God and man
are failures becaues they are not re-
pected by some.
Maiden Rock, May IL,
The third monthly public meeting
of the Maiden Rock w. @. L. u, was
held on Friday evening, May I'd. The
large audience testified in a gratifiy-
ing manner to the continued interest
in the temperance cause. The room
was tastefully decorated with flowers
and mottos, and the national colors
draped above the rostrum. The large
number wearing the badge of the Uni
on showed that the white ribbon
army is fast recruiting, and their
zeal and energy testifies that they
have "enlisted for the war. :" The
meeting was addressed by Mr.. A.
Cook, our attorney at law, who gave
the legal side of the question. He be-
lieved that legally, but little advance
ment had been in the temperance
cause in the last fifty years, and to
support his position read the statute
laws of 1885. The reason he assigned
for this was that men were sent to the
legislatures, who, when their attend
ance was required in Assembly Hall
or Senate Chamber, often had to be
sought for in the GROCERIES and saloons
of our capital cities. This fact gives
food for thought and serious rehec-
ton to the voters of our country. He
belived that this state of things would
exist until the masses were thorough
" educated in regard to the enormity
of the evil of the liquor traffic-mor-
ally, there must be an uplifting in
sentiment. In this direction there
had been great and rapid progress.
Chief among the agents for good was
the tWhite Ribbon Army" under
whose banner he was proud to be en-
listed. His address was delivered in
an easy and attractive style. There
were several impromptu speeches
which added to the interest of the
meeting. The music under the di-
rection of Mrs. Flora Thomas, was es-
pecially fine. We are anticipating
with pleasure an address from DR..
Hutchinson on Temperance from a
Medical Standpoint" at our next pub
lie meeting, which occurs on the ev-
ening of June 8. SEC.
