gave an outline of the beginning and

of its present standing all over the world.
Miss c. J. Stickney followed on the
same subject, saying that the W. c. T. U.
want a sober nation and sober world.
She read the pledge and explained how it
had grown; spoke Of the Loyal Temper
ance legion, and the good work done by
both in all countries and among all
creeds, and promised the help of the W.
c. T. U. in every possible way in the fur
thering of the proposed movement of the
Anti-Ssloon league.
The Rev. Mr.. Hall sang temperance
song while collection was taken at this
point, and before returning to his place
in the audience asked permission to speak
few words; whereupon he strongly ad-
vised the retaining of an attorney by the
Anti Saloon league before any further
steps are taken. because they must have
legal hold before anything legal can be
done-that is. if the league prosecuted
them, the officials and men who do not
now, may be compelled to enforce the
laws.
Dr.. Bowers, chairman of the commit
tee appointed at the morning session.
read the following resolutions, which
we're unanimously adopted:
Whereas, We believe that the licensed
saloon is responsible for the poverty, gam
bling, much of impurty, political corrup-
ton and taxes of our city;
Resolved, That it is the duty Of the
church and all good people to lay aside
all minor differences of opinion and pre-
against it.
Resolved, That this anti-saloon con ven-
ton learns with pleasure from State
Chairman Glass that the Christia En-
deavorers and Epworth leaguers of this
state are offered the services of Hon.
John G. Woolly for one month. We
pledge ourselves to do what we can to
aid in securing his valuable services.
DR.. Harwood next explained what the
Anti. Saloon league was; of its origin in
the Ministerial union, its growth and OBJ
ject, which is not to try TO take the place
of any other organization that advocates
prohibition, but to work along ths same
lines in harmony with those organiza-
itons in downing the saloon. He spoke
of the intention of the league to make
thorough canvass for the purpose OF
discovering the individual attitude of
every voter, not only in the city, but in
the county, on the saloon question, and
spoke Of other ways they hope to reach
! men in all parties and of every sect,
creed and denomination that the other
! organizations have not reached.
| The rest of the afternoon was occupied
by the following speakers: Mr.. B. Bald
win of Pasadena, who represented the
, Good Templars; Mr.. Jenkins of the Y.
| p. s. of Christian Endeavor; Rev. J. w.
Campbell, the Epworth league; and b.
b. Walton and Herbert w. Lathe, the
churches. Each OF these gentlemen after
| giving a brief outline of the WORK ana
object Of the various organizations which
are in general all tending in the same
direction, prohibition and the passing of
the saloon, said that they would. in each
case. work in harmony with the Anti
Saloon league, and with a singleness Of

speaker said that as long as the saloon
keepers have the law back of them. it is
no use to 60 to them; that the officials
are put in Office by the citizens. and the
recent battle between the Ministerial
union and the council and the police
commissioners showed what they will do; ;
the politicians are unavailable for the
same reason; and so it is to the people,
the sovereign people, who must be made
to see the imperative need that. although
divincd heretofore, they must now stand
up with all courage and belief, and say
not only that the saloon must 60, but
that it shall 60.
