 TEmPKRANC NCE ATCENTKR CHURCH
 An Interesting Address by Colonel
 Raine of Kentucky.
 Last evening Colonel G. W. Baine, who
 has been featuring on temperance in different
 parts of the State during the last few weeks,
 spoke to good sized audience at Center
 church. The meeting was opened with
 prayer by the Rev. Thomas Samson, pastor
 of the Calvary Baptist church, who, together
 with Rev. Newman Smyth, occupied seats in
 the pulpit. The audience joined in singing
 with the choir the opening hymn, the Coro- nation, "All hail the power of Jesus' name, "
 after which the pastor of the church, Rev.
 Newman Smyth, who presided over the
 meeting, introduced the spea ker of the even ing. Colonel G. W. Baine, who is of stout and well rounded form, apparently pleasant and agreeable in appearance, stated to his congregation that he came there through the invitation and interest of
 the Women's Christian association sound, logical and eloquent, as we'll at
 many times humorous. He urged the youth who would be successful in life to take the pledge at an early hour, claiming that at the age of thirty or forty, if he had been so-
 Der, industrious and moral throughout the time, the world would be bound te honor and respect him as well as encourage him to remain total abstainer the rest of his life.
 The speaker referred to Edgar A. Poe, Burke, Brinley, Webster and many others equally as eminent men, who, he said, had been cursed I by strong drink. He referred to the great sale of liquor alone in this country. He said that over s90O, ,000, 900 was spent during the ing people represented as having e1- pended over $500, ,OOO, which, he claimed, had it been properly spent, there would not be to-day, as there is, the common cry of depression in business. His theory was, should the business men of the country unite in number and work with the same fervor and zeal that they did when they re- belled against slavery, there would be no ! words adequate enough to express the com fort and happiness that would be realized by the inhabitants of many drunkard's home to-day. It also seemed strange to him that people could not see this cancer eating into l the community, as did the one that caused the death of General Grant If the variety theaters, billiard saloons and even the skat- | ing rinks were closed up for twelve | months this city alone would reap 6 greater benefit than many were aware of Could tho bones from many drunkard's grave be taken out and piled up in the legis-
 lative halls with such an inscription as s'Be; l hold the work of American slavery" placed upon them, he believed it would be startling in it's revelation. ''What was morally wrong
 could not be politically right" During his discourse he was repeatedly interrupted by applause. In closing he advised all who were not Christians yet temperate to put their faith and trust in God, as he believed very little in the pledge without the grace of God in one's heart Wednesday afternoon
 he will speak at the First Congregational church in Fair Haven, where the State Tem
 perance society will hold their convention.
