Domokos, about 12 miles farther south

1t appears that the great massing Of
Turkish troops and their movements
led to a suspicion that an attempt was
being projected to surround Pharsala.
A council of war was held in the Greek
camp, and it was decided to retire to
Domokos. which was reached at dawn.
The Greeks promptly occupied strong
positions on the mountain range over
looking Domokos.
During Wednesday night the Turks
continued TO execute movements with
a view of outhanking Pharsala, and
only discovered at daybreak Thursday
morning that the Greek army had re-
tired
The retreat began at 3 o'clock in the
morning. and the occupation of the new
positions at Domokos was finished at
10. The Greeks buried their dead and
conveyed IS wounded, including five Of
ficers, to Lamia.
General Smolensh has retreated
slowly and in orderly fashion to Al
myro. and Volo has been almost COM
pletely evacuated.
General Smolensk wired to Athens
for Instructions and the government
advised him to retreat. He remained
at Velestino all night and was attack
ed by the Turks at 6 the next morning.
Hard fighting continued until late in
the afternoon, when the firing ceased,

AN OBSTACLE THE WAY.


| am becoming more and more salts
fed that one of the most, if not the most
serious Cbstacle in the way of the tenn
perance reformation is the extreme re-
luctance shown by good men and women
to taking the total abstinence pledge.
Some utterly refuse to take it, and
others do it under a sort of protest.
They do not need to take the pledge
for their own safety, but as an example
for others. They do OF think little
wine, beer or cider is hurtfu to them,
but rather on the whole good, but they
are willing to deny themselves for the
sake of Others"
do not mean to say that these people
are not honest, sincere and worthy of all
commentator for their self.denIal and
good example. But seeing these things
are so, ought not the friends and ad
vocates of temperance to inquire care
fully whether these good people are in
error when they suppose that in ordi
nary health it is right in itself to take a
glass of any Intoxicating drink as a
beverage? If the first glass is not taken,
then the second will never be. If the
first glass is taken as beverage, can
any one of a certainty know that it will
not end i'm drunkenness? MANY have
fallen who have acquired the appetite
for alcoholic drink by using it strictly as
medicine and under the physicians
direction. Many others have this alec.
hole appetite to contend against all the
rest of their lives, and will need eXtraor-
binary aid to keep them from becoming
drunkards, solely by following the ex.
amply of many otherwise good people.
who have had their occasional glass of
something good"
When there is such danger of acquir-
ing this appetite, and no one can be
positively sure that he will not acquire
it if he drinks occasionally or moderate
ly, can such drinking be innocent: Are
we doing right when we say there is no
sin in drinking glass or Two of wine
or cider as beverage:
If man gets drunk from the use of
a first glass and its results, is not the
drinking of that first glass to him sin?
If sin to him, how is it innocent to you
when you do rot certainly know but
you will yet be drinking to excess?
Won't you think of this, my friend,
before you talk of the innocence in
drinking of alcoholic beverages, even in
small quantities?

|. OCT. COURSE OF STUDY.

1t is not generally known throughout
our membership that our order sustains
a regular course of temperance study.
and but very little do some of us realize
the great amount of good which it is
doing for our cause. 1t is and has been
tor some time the desire of the vice
chancellor of Vermont to publish a
series OF papers which will bring the
matter to our notice and give us a clearer
understanding of at least one branch OF
our great work, a branch which many
are often apt to neglect and pass by as
of little Importance, when in reality it
is of the utmost importance. Were our
members more thorough students of our
great life work as Good Templars, a far
greater percentage of lodges would re-
tain their charters. This series of pa
pers will soon he ready and we trust
every member will give them careful
perusal.

EFFORT LODGE, NO. 72.

There is not much of interest to report
regarding lodge affairs. The attendance
is all we can expect from country people.
The farmers are very busy getting in
their various kinds of seeds, hoping to
reap a rich harvest for man and beast as
reward for their trouble. Yet how
little do these same farmers and parents
that are sowing seeds for worldly gain
realize that it is just as necessary to SOW
the seeds of temperance around their
children and all youth in the springtime
of their lives? How important that
good seed isLchosen for their minds as
well as seed chosen for the earth. These
little ones are just as susceptible to the
influence of intemperance. that is
thoughtlessly brought within their reach,
as the earth is TO bring forth weeds to
choke the fruits of the laborer's work.
See how diligently good farmer will
delve to keep the weeds killed lest they
choke the growth of the seeds he has
sOwn, that when the harvest-time comes
imperfect crops may not be the result.
Likewise, if we are not diligent in our
work of temperance, we scatter seeds in
one form or another that work Ill instead
of good in our temperance cause.
Pause in thy course, be wary, oh intern
perate one, and, like the farmer, kill the
weeds.
