years ago there have been no Hastings
aud giving in marriage as of old, for
the reason that the girls will not
marry suitors whose spears and knives
are not stained with the blood of vic

essential that the material used

THE OBJECTS AND AIMS.
Information of Interest to Temper
ance Workers and Those Seeking
a Refuge From the Tempta-
tions of Strong Drink.

IINYHE more important object of this
i Association is Mutual Benefit in
| the exercises of Temperance, Forti-
tude and Justice, securing to its
membership sympathy and relief in
times Of sickness and distress; and in
the event of death, the decent OBJ
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 So 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 - years of age and upwards,
Junior Branch of Boys from 10 to
Is years, and Juvenile Tents, for
Children of both sexes between the
ages of and 16 years.
Each branch has 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 /. 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 and religious part of the
community to unite in securing the
rising generation from the evils of
intemperance, and ultimately hand
down to generations yet unborn, the
benefits of sobriety.
