DIR. REED ON TEMPERANCE.

A Stirring Temperance Address
 Last Night By pr. Reed of Trinity
 M. E. Church-An Interesting Re
 view.
 Rev. Dr. Reed, pastor of the Trinity M. E. church, delivered an address on temper ance at his church last evening. The church was filled, including many members of Safety Temple of Honor. Dr. Reed said: It is fact that few years ago Christian women succeeded in getting scientific train ing in the public schools to show the effect of alcohol on the human system. There is now 8 movement on foot to capture the schools in the interest of beer. There is a text book already published to show beer is benefit as an article of food. What is the hope for the future if facts are as they are represented2 Is the temperance cause gaining at all on the whole? think it is, but don't think there is as much total abstinence as there was thirty years ago. The tidal wave has struck us just at the present time. This is only temporary, however, and we rise again. With all the darkness there is 8 dawning of light
 Let us look at the changes in the temper ance cause for 8 century, for ten or fifteen years cannot show fully q great change in such mammoth question as this: The grogshops of America gre not to be abolish mi mighty, " the force 'ns too 's colossal. The reform has been slow, but it has been at work, and for the next fifty years the changes made will be astonishing. The temperance cause is only about one hundred years old, and all the work in strictly temperance work has been done within the past fifty years. Half century ago wine was served at almost every occasion. When Rev. Dr. Bacon was installed pastor of the Center church free drinks was served at the hotel bar to all who cared for them.
 The only aim of all temperance societies at that time were to bring about moderate drinking. Then the idea of total abstinence was taken up, and all the progress that has been made has been brought about since that time. The great "Washingtonian move ment" was inaugurated and swept the coun- try-thousands were saved from destruction and death.
 Dr. Reed was talking very earnestly, ap- pealing to the audience to work to push the saloons from the face of the earth, when 8 voice from the side of the church was heard ffamen"
 "Glad to hear it," said pr. Reed, "the first amen I have heard since I have been in New Haven. It shows that some one is waking up-wake up some more!"
 Dr. Reed made an earnest appeal for the cause of temperance, taking the side of pro hibition strongly. In closing he said: "1 believe that within twenty-five years there will not be one State in the Union where this great traffic will net be outlawed by the statute laws of the commonwealth. There is nothing now for America to do but to fight the saloons to death or to be fought to death by the saloons"

It was expect- ed that at this meeting that the committee appointed by the board to inquire into the expediency of removing the repair shops from New Haven would report. The com mittee has looked over several locations suitable for such a change, but they made no report, and the matter of removal seems to have been dropped. This probably set ties the question of removal, and the shops will undoubtedly remain in New Haven. One director is quoted as saying he did not think the shops would be moved from New Haven.
