next Thursday evening. Beekman Hill Division
will begin its work of temperance reform with
over fifty charter members, and according &c
the present outlook there is every probability
that it will prove itself a power in the neigh
borhood.
The emo Of institution was a very i'm
posing and impressive sight, and will long be
remembered by those who witnessed it. After
the installation of the officers G. w. P. Cum
mings called upon the worthy patriarch of the
new division, Rev. R. T. McNichol, for a speech.
A more eloquent display of oratory has seldom
been heard. During the whole course of his
remarks he was listened to with admiration
intermingled with hearty applause. A few
more sucn fearless pastors will prove a bit ter
foe to the LIQUOR traffic in this country, w. ?
| McNichol then took possession of the meet ing
and retslated upon q. w. P. Cumming by
asking him to speak. The 6. w. T. responded
in a very talented manner, awaiting himself of
the opportunity of giving some wholesome
advice to the representatives of the subor-
dinate divisions under his jurisdiction. When
| Grand Worthy Patriarch f. Poole of New
| Jersey was called upon he received an ovation.
After speaking upon the temperance question
generally, he spoke touchingly upon the loss
| New Jersey will sustain in losing the services Of
Brother and Sister Osborne, the organizers of
| the new division. Though the loss to New Jer-
| sey meant gain to New York, he rejoiced at the
fact inasmueh as it was only o transfer of two
earnest workers from one State to the other,
and the order will retain their active co-opera-
ton. He felt honored at being present and &C,
copied the credit due the order under his juris.
diction as the Two organizers were first initiated
in a division under the jurisdiction of the State
that he represented. Brother Hillyer OF
Crusade, Jersey City, had them initiated in his
division. and by energy and perseveriug in
tegrity Brother and Sister Osborne had now the
friendship and best wishes of the whole order
in the State of New Jersey. After remarks
from prominent speakers, G. w. P. Cummings
