ELOQUENT SOUTHERN ORATOR.
Colonel George w. Balm Holds an Audi
ence Enrapturod With His Eloquent
Words.

Words.
Colonel George W. Balm, the silver
tongued temperance orator of the south
thrilled an immense concourse of people
by his eloquent and forcihle lecture In
the Opera House on Sunday afternoon.
The house was literally jammed from
entrance to stage, probably $500 people
hearing the golden words of temperance
from tho speakers lips. The lecture
was under the auspices of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. Rev. Dr.
Dobbins of Grace Church presided and
introduced the speaker who had chosen
as his subject "Our Country, Our
Home and Our Duty"
Colonel Balm, after paying his respects
to the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union and their noble cause, launched
of into u flow of eloquence that at once
captivated his hearers, and the audience
was his until the conclusion Of his re-
marks. He pointed out the evils of the
rum traffic, and held that 100000 such
batteries were stationed upon the heights
Of law, threatening destruction to the
nation Mr. Balm pointed To the curse
of the rum traffic; made mention of the
Cooling murder in this city MS the re-
suit Of drink, and told of the unfortu-
nate man who lay down on the railroad
track, beastly intoxicated, and, when
he awoke, found his arms and
legs had been cut Off. A man had once
said TO the speaker, "1'each men self
CONTROL instead of closing the saloon.
Mr.. Balm did not believe that self.control
could be SO easily taught mankind. He
spoke of the success of temperance in
Maine and Kansas and using the words
of Secretary Blaine, declared that the
population Of the Pine Tree State had
increased 100000 and 81 100000 in gold
and greenbacks had swclled the national
banking institutions throughout the
state since Prohibition was inaugurated.
Col Balm gave a thrilling incident Of
his adventures while lecturing in Ken
lucky years ago, when Saloon keeper
Dare Devil Davis rode up to the school
house door with four armed men and
would have bowed his brains out as he
stood on the stage, had It not been for
his brave little wife who jumped in front
Of the rifles muzzle and saved the life
Of her liege. From that moment the
eloquent colonel declared he had .been
for temperance and for the cause oil
/ woman.

AT the recent laying Of the corner
stone of the First Baptist Church,
Seventy-ninth street and Boulevard
avenue, New York city, the memorial
address was delivered by Roger II.
Lyon, Esq, prominent member of tho
New York bar, who, in the course of
his address, made the following refer
ence TO the pastor, the Rev. 1. M. Halde-
man, at one time pastor of the Delaware
Avenue Baptist Church of this city !:
1.-The Rev. Isaac NJ. Haldeman was
called to succeed DR.. Peddie, February
Goth, 1886. The church has been greatly
edited and encouraged under his
preaching, while for the reasons suf-
ficiently stated elsewhere, it has been
found expedient to remove to this loca-
ton. And under his leadership our
hearts are filled with bright hopes and
anticipations Of blessed prosperity in
the occupancy of the new field. In our
relationship as pastor and people, we
have found him, more and more, to be a
man after Gods own heart, such as we
called him, and indeed, workman
that needeth not 10 be ashamed"

MONTREAL, Oct. 20.-A hard blow
has been struck at the Knights of Labor
in Canada by the Roman Catholic clergy.
Archbishop Taschereau has issued, in
Ldzmane Religioue, the organ Of the
church, a fierce article denouncing the
principles enunciated in their Montreal
address by Grand Master Workman
Powdcrly and Mr.. Wright as directly
opposed tc the latest papal encyclical,
and asking Catholics 10 remain away
from such leaders. Condemnation OF
the knights Of Labor made by the
church four years ago was suspended.
This caused large number of Catholics
to join the knights. The archbishop
threatens to put condemnation again in
force
