the announcement is enough to those
who have not we say, GO. That Mr.. Scott
warmly received and highly praised, a
few of the. g Opinions of the Press" and
personal TESTING malls that follow is clear
aud unequivocal:
Major Scott has been with us nearly two
weeks. He has given eleven addresses,
about an hour long each one, and he held
the close attention of his hearers from the
beginning to the end. Nor did he repeat
himself, but rather drew out of his treasury
things new aud old; that treasury being
one of very wide observation, and also
of personal experience as solemn and as
narrowing as has fallen to the lot of any
advocate of this great cause. He has the
true qualities of platform speaker, fine
gift of language, emotion tina! kindles
readily, with that sort of tact which under
stands an audience, and conviction that
he has personal mission to his fellow
men to press them, by all means to save
themselves and others from the temporal
and eternal woes of drunkenness.-Rev

of all classes began to pour into the hall.
AS the pastors Of the Presbyterian, M. E.,
and Lutheran churches gave way on this
occasio. it may be imagined that even
the large hall would not AGO .nmodate the
people, and so it proved There was no
standing room. Every available inch OF
space was occupied and scores of persons
had to go away disappointed at being un
able to gain admission. Though Major
Scott spoke one hour and half. yet, the
manner in which he hurled solid facts into
the faces of his his listeners, the force OF
