the largest ten perance society whose voice
has been heard, and whose influence has
been used against the liquor traffic, and
as we all, as preachers of the gospel, believe
prohibition to De morally and legally right,
| ana as our people are expecting clear, de-
cided expression on our part, be 1t there
fore,
