GOSPEL TEMPERANCE RALLY.
Union Meeting 10 Be Held in Opera House
Sunday Afternoon.

Next Sunday afternoon. the Opera
house will he opened for a Union Cos
pei temperance rally. which bids fair
to be quite different from the ordinary
temperance meetings. The pastors of
the various churches are influential iii
the movement and as far as possibl"
will secure the interest and support of
their people. Arrangements are III
progress for a chorus choir of about 90
voices under the leadership of Rev. \.
A. Lewis The chorus will be accom-
panied by an orchestra with Mr. Geo.
Mckinney as director Mayor Patten
Will preside
The orcheSta will furnish music while
the people are coming in. Some of the
leading singers in town will furnish
special music in the line Of solos, quar-
tets. etc. Among others the services
Of Mrs Mabel Lord Crocker has been
secured. She will sing Where Is My
Wandering Boy. Tonight" with the
answer.
Rev A. A. Lewis will also sing the
song Make Your Record Clean, Young
Man"
The address Of the afternoon will be
delivered by Rev. II. +. Whitney of
New Hampshire.
Mr. Whitney is strongly convinced
that the methods used by the churches
to influence the drinking population has
not been wholly Christian, but has
been decidedly unsuccessful, and it is
his purpose to present a plan from a
Bible standpoint and one that has been
successfully used elsewhere. He pro-
poses to preach in a kind, brotherly
way, as man to man. and as there will
he no raking over the saloon keepers,
they are especially invited to be pres
ent. The admission will be by ticket
only The tickets are free and may be
secured of any of the pastors or at
these various places: Cummings store
in Randolph, Davenport's, Wards drug
store and Morang's billiard rooms in
Gardiner
Much effort is being put forth in ad-
vertisng and as more tickets have
been issued than there are seats in the
Opera house, one will need to come
early to be sure of good seat. The
orchestra will furnish music between
the time of opening the doors and the
commencement of the service, so it will
not be tiresome waiting. The doors
will be open at 3 o'clock and the SER
vices commence at $50.
