To THE RECHABITEs OF EAST VIR-
GINA DISTRICT:

At the annual meeting of this
District held at SaXes in July, your
representatives saw fit to elect me to
the Office Of Chief Ruler, an Office l
did not seek after but ather Stunned
from accepting, and only my love for
the temperance cause and the cause
of Rechabisln induced me to accept.
The Office carries with it great
many cares and anxieties, and | am
going to ask you to bear some of these
with me.
Anyone who has passed the chair
of District Chief Ruler knows that
the great anxiety of the Chief Ruler
is that his District should be pros
porous, and know that if you share
with me this burden, this anxiety,
and -respond-to tie sail of the Spirit
as it says: go work in My vineyard"
we shall reap such harvest as was
was never before known in our Dis
trict. Will you do it? Will each in
dividual Son and Daughter Of
Rechabites see to it that no stone is
left unturned to advance our cause.
Brethren the fields are white unto
harvest, one mighty effort and that
harvest is ours, and we shall roll up
such a membership that we will be
proud Of.
Our opportunities for doing some
thing for the Master are many, for
nowheresare they cursed with the
saloon as are we; in a local option
county, whisky is doing its damn
ing work despite the fact that the
people of Accomac said there should
be no saloon; even as | write the
blood of the innocent calls from the
ground for vengeance; mothers pray
ers are ascending to Almighty God,
praying for way for the escape of
her errlng boy and all around US can
be seen the terrible effects of drink
and saloon, and my prayer is that
God will roll upon you the burden
of the sutferings of our people and
get into the arInor and fight.

Independent Order Of
Re@habigeS
In NORTH AMERICA.
THE OBJECTS AND AIMS.
Information of Interest to Temper
ance Workers and Those Seeking
Refuge From the Tempta-
tions of Strong Drink.

H1HE more important object of this
i Association is Mutual Benefit'in
the exercises of Temperance, Forth
tude and Justice. securing to it's
membership sympathy:and relief..in
times of sickness and distress; and in
the event of death, the decent Oh.
servance of the necessary funeral
obsequies; and is based upon and
seeks, the extension of the principles
of Total Abstinence from all intoxi-
eating drinks.
The Order has three Subordinate
branches, viz:
Primary Tents, composed of white
male persons between the ages of 16
and 55 years of age, who believe in
the existence and omnipotence of
God and are willing to sign our pledge
of total abstinence, are eligible to
membership.
Persons over age may become hon
orary members.
Female Tents, composed of white
females 10 years of age and upwards,
Junior Branch of Boys from 10 to
16 years, and Juvenile Tents, for
Children of both sexes between the
ages OF and III years.
Each branch has a service especially
adapted. 1t has been found that by
working in separate branches of the
organization, there is more freedom
of action than when all ages and
sexes are thrown together. Each
branch of the Order is represented in
the higher body, and fostering care
is exercised over all alike. Thus with
the men and women, girls and boys
all united under one head the 1. o.
of R. is as an irresistible army nov
ing on to victory.
The Order has, and will continue
to prove blessing to our country,
not only in proving an asylum for the
reformed drunkard, but by inducing
the sober q I'D d, religious part of the
conysAss - tsIi'unite in securing the
Ri : 94ation from the evils of
inIsti terance, and ultimately hand
down to generations yet unborn, the
benefits of sobriety.
