The meeting of the w. c. t. u, last
Sunday afternoon, was one Of more than
ordinary interest. One of the laymen
presided and conducted the Introductory
exercises. The speaker of the afternoon
was 7. c. Naylor, of New Hope. The adj
dress contained many good points and was
listened to attentively throughout. One
or two of his illustrations were forcibe.
He said "Our Bible contains about 8, 000,-
900 letters. If 40 pounds sterling were
piled on each letter of the Bible, the
amount of money thus represented would
be less than the whiskey bill of Great
Britain for the year past. If this money
were piled ON carts, Il tons on each, to
move it, would require line of carts 10
miles long.
The Sixth Ward in the city of Phila-
dephia, contains 10000 inhabitants, and
numbers little over 1900 voters. To
meet their educational demands they have
five school houses to supply their wants
religiously they have seven churches to
accommodate their physical necessities
there are sixteen baker shops aud thirty
three groceries, while to scatter the seeds
of hell and reap the harvest of damnation
there are two hundred and seventy six
saloons. "Brotherly love" indeed.

in the Baptist Church, was given largely
to government Jour city, and temper
ance. The blame for the present deplor-
able state of affairs was charged not only
upon the City Council but upon the in
dividual citizen, who helped by his vote
to place them in power. Said one of the
laymen: "Upon myself and perhaps some
others here present, must rest part Of the
RESP possibility. When Gods great book
is opened, the Christian voters of Lam
bertville may find items charged up under
the account titles bearing their names,
which they little dream of now.
The Sunday afternoon meetings of the
w. G. T. u, are not dry, stale affairs.
Good singing and good speaking are the
rule. All are welcome. Drop in for an
hour and see for yourself No matter if
you are not temperance man. AS an
honest man you certainly cannot refuse to

That will be happy day when we need
no longer write "Christian temperance
people," when the word "Christian" will
express it all. God speed the day.

plug of tobacco, which he had just TAX
en- from his pocket.
Act. ii. Two other small boys "Give me
chew % and withdrawing little
way to sheltering corner, the liberal

Shame on the dealer, who in violation
Of the laws of the state, will supply boys

The w. CT. u, of Lamb ertville, have
lost faithful and an earnest supporter,

Our readers may remember that at a
meeting of representative temperance
men from the different parts of this state,
