The week just ended has been memorable in
the history OF Good Templass in Seattle. The
request to close lodge rooms and join in a week
OF revival work was quite generally needed.

the principal speakers at che meetings, aud
added many persons to the total abstinence
ranks. The addresses OF Ar. Davis covered
almost every phase OF the question at issue. As
practical and eloquent speaker, a devoted,
wholesouled worker, he has shown himself
willing aud able to work with and for any
movement which has a. its a<m the uplifting of
humanity. The regard in which Mrs. Lila A.
Moore is held by the Good Templars of Seattle
was we'll indicated during the past week. Richly
endowed with charms of Soice and manner,
this gifted speaker has devoted her life to the
cause OF home protection. Fer addresses were
marked by refinement and elegance of diction,
liberal and always appropriate use of Incl
