Gospel Temperance.

Mrs. Joseph s. Bradway conducted the
monthly six O'Clock temperance meeting
held at the Baptist Church on Sunday
evening.
Mrs. K. P. Patterson, after reading a
selected article from paper, made some
remarks in W hich she said that this tenn
perance work is Gods cause and we
know it is right. The rum traffic is the
worst enemy in the land, and we need
better laws for its suppression
George Macaltioner, of philadelphia,
said. "This temperance question concerns
the hearts of every one to a certain degree,
because it touches every family. How
can we stop the forward march of this
arch king? What means shall we use /?
An eminent man connected with a re-
formatory institution remarked not loug
since that there was no hope for a slave
to the drinking habit save by the regen
Grating power of Jesus Christi"
Rev. john T. Craig said that "all great
movements are advanced by constant
agitation aud keeping them continually
before the minds of those not engaged in
the work. 1t is only by constant agita
tlon of this question of temperance which
will keep it alive, and there are always
those who are ready to respond and
whose hearts can be moved by reason and
argument and persuasion. We bless the
name of Him who influences the minds
and opinions of these people.
Agitation and concentration of this
important movement is the only hope of
surcess. Men and women have gone
forth to labor for this cause with the
determination that it shall be life work
with them. Hundreds and thousands,
especially the women of the land, are
Voicing their feelings and convictions for
the conservation of others to the cause of
temperance. The women have no voice
in the legislature, but they are indirectly
Influencing the sentiment of the voters
for proper legislation on this question.
HE rejoiced that so many of the
women in this community are banded
together for the agitation of the cause
and 80 earnestly desire to see it success
ful. But for success we must take it to
God Some here remember the time
when it was said slavery would never be
abolished, but we have lived to see it
accomplished. The time will also come
when intemperanoe will be swept away.
Gods blessing will influence the hearts
and minds of the people never before
known in this world"
Elizabeth Petit reoited a poem by
John B. Cough, entitled 1.-TWO Short
Years Ago" She wished there were
more John B. Coughs to day. BIB.

school Entertatnment at Harrison,
willie.


v1lte.
What is conceded by all to have been
the best entertainment ever given in Har-
risouville was that on Saturday evening
given by the pupils of the public school,
assisted by the teachers and Prof. Fl.
Rudolph Broiwater, the celebrated vio-
linist, of Camden.
The tableaux we're exceedingly pretty
and effective. The silent pantomime,
entitled Bachelor Advertising for a
Wife," was very humorous and was
much enjoyed by the sudience; but the
dialogue, entitled "Wide Enough for
Two" with it's funny Dutch and negro
characters, was most enthusiastically ie
ceived. Songs by Miss Edith Stealing
and Harry M. Brodwater, Principal of
the school, were we'll received, especially
the one entitled Johnny Took the One l
Wanted" sung by Mr.. Brodwater.
Prof Brodwater's music was quite a
treat, and the way in which he handled
his violin proved that he was master of
the instrument. He also favored the
audience with music on the cornet, organ
and juvenile work on bottles, glasses
and sticks.
The entertainment was concluded with
tablean. Four young ladies sang
"Rook of Ages" while oolored lights
were thrown on young girl clinging to
Q cross. The effect was most beautifully
brought ont.
Prof Brodwster, with the assistance
Of four girls from Camden, proposes to
give a musical entertainment in the Hall
on Saturday evening. March 9th, and
Judging from his performance on Satur-
