tauqua. N. Y, were suggested as desirable


the year. He stated that the organization
has 1O6 local branches Throug b the efforts
OF the branches of the League Lowell and
Salem, Mass, and Newport, K. l., nave
banished the saloon. A hard struggle is
being carried on in Providence, Il. l., be-
tween the League and saloon Keepers A
number Of the most influential citizens OF
Schenectady, N. Y, recently formed
League, and its success is assured. The
League inlBostou, Mass, has grown from
15O to 5000 members. 1t ought to be the i'm
mediate aim of the organization, ne sald, to
organize the work in New York City. There
were 13 State organizations, he said, and
the international body needed secretary.
WHERE THE CHURCH COMES IN.
Rev. j. D. Turner made an address on the
relation of the church to the work OF the
League. Among other things, he said he
believed the work for the church to do to-
day was to cast out the devils that trouble
society, such as lust and intemperance.
That it has failed 10 do this work was
patent fact. Speculative theology, he said,
had been in the saddle for IS centuries, dis
cussing whether babes unchristened are
doomed to eternal punishment or not, while
myriads of fFchildren are growing up in vice
and crime. People we're asking it pagans who
never heard OF Christ will be denied the JOYS
OF heaven, while we are surrounded by
pagans at home. All this, and speculative
theology is still on the throne! Theology is
king of the sciences, but it should take IN
sociology as partner in the work.
Rev. DIR. Stevens, of the Christian
ADVOCATE, made short address in favor OF
the work of the League.
Rev. Mr.. Spence, of Toronto, Canada,
made lengthy and interesting address on
the work done by the League in his city.
He said the Provincial Legislature had
appointed a committee to devise a cure for
drunkenness.
The plan it has devised is to punish
drunkard three times in the regular way.
On fourth conviction he is to be deemed
an habitual drunkard. He will then be
sent for six months to an inebriate reforma-
tory that is to be erected on a large plot OF
ground some distance from the city. This
will be an industrial asylum where the in
mates will be put at congenial employment
He will be allowed no liquor, and his sys-
tenn will be toned up by a medical staff. II
he is convicted fifth time he will be sent
to the asylum for II months and the SEN
tence will be increased on each subsequent
conviction until a maximum of two years is
reached.
HARD TO PULL DOWN INFLUENCE.
Inspector Archibald, of the Toronto
police, made an address on the workings of
the police in that city. He said: "If you
surround policemen with conditions which
will make it polite for them to enforce the
law, the law will be enforced. You cannot
expect the police to enforce the laws when
the strongest kind of influence is brought to
bear against them"
Hon. Felix R. Brunot stated that he was
heartily in sympathy with the movement.
He has been a member and a contributor to
the local league since it was organized, and
expects to continue so during the rest OF his
life.
