 The discourse of the Rev. F. E. Mar ble on Sunday evening and his open denunciation of the ways and manage ment of the temperance league rooms has been the principal topic of con- versation since that evening, and natur- ally there have been many different views expressed on the question. There is no denying that his language was strong and to the point, and was evil dently his honest convictions that he expressed. The attempt of J. r. Leete, the manager of the league rooms, to get up and answer the charges made, as he did, is considered a very unwise action on his part, as there was no call for such proceedings as the Rev. Mir. Marble was in his own pulpit and had a perfect right to express his opinions, and there was no call for any argu- ment there. b.
