ANOTHER BIG MEETING.

II. e. Murphy Addresses Several Hun
dreds of People in Welcome Hall
Many Signed the Pledge-The Meet
fngs ContInue i'm English Hall.
The gospel temperance meeting held at
Welcome hall on Oak street last evening
was attended by large concourss of peo-
pie, all of whom appeared to take great
interest in the meeting.
Rev. DR.. Phillips of the Church of the
Redeemer opened the meeting with few
remarks strongly commenting the work.
Mr.. Murphy followed in one of his charac-
teristic eloquent talks.
In his speech he said: I believe that q
man that would strike woman, be he
| drunk or sober, ia q moral coward. And
this gospel temperance movement will
bring joy to the homes and to the women.
The work is good, is pure, is patriotic. If
had the eloquence of Demosthenes I
could not tell of the happiness that has
come to me through this gospel temper
ance work.
There was large delegation from Meri-
den, including three prominent business
men, present to see if he could be induced
to come to Meriden. Mr.. Murphy says,
however, that he will stay in New Haven
as long as the people demand him. and
that nothing will draw him away. He also
says, "This is the greatest temperance re-
| vival have ever seen. The men who need
temperance are being reached. And I
shall not leave such a work, but will stay
as long as the people want me-"
"Of course am perfectly well aware OF
1 10 Co. ~ hat ,NS hr7t $or
of those who sign the pledge will keep it.
But just as the tidal wave of the ocean
when it reoedes from the shore, leaves
some pearls on the sand, SO the tidel wave
of temperance when it rolls back will
leave some who have the moral character
and stamina to Withstand temptation
Therefore, say the work is doing good
For there is joy in heaven over one sinner
that repenteth."
"People also often say to me when give
money to some poor, wretched drunkarc
are being victimixed' Well, do not car,
if I am victimized. I would rather b.
victimized by ninety-niDe unjust person
than turn away one just person"
