FRANCIS MURPHY,

The Great Temperance Apostle Again
Greeted by n Largo Audience.
Again last night the Baptist Church was
packed with an intelligent audience to
listen to Francis Murphy. Mr.. Murphy's
talk, as usual, was intensely interesting, and
be seemed TO carry his auditors right along
with him through the thread Of his discourse.
He spoke in a general way for som time
upon the temperance question, and said
hat the only way to get at the root of the
evil and eradicate it was through the
medium Of the church and the grace Of
God. Then he returned to the history Of
his reformation, how his wife, having spent
her last penny, sent a touching and appeal,
ing letter to him while in an inebriate asy.
Ium, stating that the family were in desti.
tute circumstances, with nothing to eat, ano
The meeting here between himself, wife and
children was told in an eloquent aud touch
irg manner, and many persons in the audi
ence were observed TO be viSibly affected.
When be received the letter from his wife
be felt so discouraged that he seriously con-
remplated committing suicide. He then
decided to never drink another drop, and
prepared a little speech to deliver to the
warden, but when he heard his footsteps,

bed, few away. he then turned to a
small bible and Inadvertently turned to the
verse; II 60 to prepare a place for you, that
where ! 60, there may We 60 also He
then gave way to a flood of tears. But a
happy moment was coming. When the
warden came to his door he told him that
the next day he was to be free; but this was
not all, another friend came in, and after
giving him kind advice, placed a hundred
dollar bill in his hand. When he started
towards home the next day the earth seem
ed to bebrighter, and life worth living. His
oldest son met him and together they went
home, where a very affecting scene took
place-the meeting Of loving hearts.
Since that time" said Mr.. Murphy, 81 have
kept my pledge, and by the grace Of God, |
intend to keep it to the last and will work
for the reformation Of fallen manhood, and
save as many as l can from the depths Of
the black river of ruin
During his discourse Mr.. Murphy gave
the press a good send-of and the reporters
a little dig, The latter Of which caused a rip.
pie Of merriment.
The meetings will be held to night and to-
morrow night, and on Friday evening q
grand farewell meeting will be held at the
Capitol rink, to which an admission fee of
Is cents will be charged, the proceeds to be
given to the Wopan's Christian Association.
Great good is being done by these meetings
as many have already signed the pledge,
and no doubt Mr.. Murphy will leave Wheel.

their families following him.
