TEmPERANCE ADDREss.

Hon. Edward CarsWen, of Canada,
 Talks on the Evils of Alcohol to a
 Large Audience at Peck's Opera
 HOuse-PrOhibftfon Waged Incident
 ally.
 Part of the audience at Peck's Opera House last evening was kept waiting for the exercises of the meeting given under the aus pices of Harmony division, Sons of Tenn perance, for about half an hour and others came in after the meeting had begun, owing to the wrong announcement of the time. Judge Lucius P. Dening presided He in troduced Hon. Edward Carswell, of Canada, as one who had devoted his life to the tenn perance cause. Mir. Carswell is gentleman about fifty years old, with long, flowing locks aud with pleasant voice. He spoke with great earnestness and animation. He said that every great reform has been won by the faith and struggle of the pen and not by the doubts of the many. The faith of Christ's disciples, the followers of Columbus, the founders of this nation carried them on to victory We need faith in our tenn perance principles. 1T have travelled all over this country he said, 'Fand I can tell you that there never was a growth equal to the growth of the temperance movement. It was only about 40 years ago that sixteen men met in little room in New York and founded the order of the Sons of Temper ance. That order has grown until it is to- day a mighty organization and from it have sprung other orders. I have been all through the State of Kansas and have never seen drop of anything intoxicating sold, bought or drank. The cause is progressing everywhere. There are children in this audience who will live to hear the shout of victory. What are you doing? Are you member of the Sons of Temperance? If not you ought to join. You may say that you are not drunkard and don't need to ioin You might as well say you will not join fife department be- cause your house is not burning, or that you will not go to funeral because you are not a corpse. People actually bring Gods bless ing as excuse for not doing his work. It's not enough to say that you don't need it. The braver you are the more you ought to help the cowardly. The stronger you are the more you ought to help the weak. It is our duty to help the drunkards back to 8 sober life.
 ''The way some people take texts from the Bible and try to support their position is ridiculous When was speaking in Toronto recently at Q liquor dealers meeting a man got up in the audience and interrupted me by asking if Paul didn't tell Timothy to take something for his stomach's sake. What if he did? If Paul had told Timothy to take castor oil would men take it for a beverage? There can be texts taken out of the Bible at random and prove anything"
 : The meeting closed by recitation by Dr. Frank Gallagher. He read ''The Legend of the Organ Builder"

E It aUe7'e possible

to get the testimony of the multitude who have used Hoops SARsAPARILLA for de- bility, languor, lassitude, and that general feeling of stupidity, weariness and exhaus- tion which every one feels during this season, we should be able to present to our readers such an overwhelming mass of commend atory messages, that the few who have not tried it would do so at once. It is positive fact, and has been so effectua1ly demon strated that TO one to-day denies it, that Hoods Sarsaparilla contains more real med cinal value than any article before the people.
