rR. J, M. GLASS
One of the Foremost Temperance
 Workers Is in the City.

Phoenix is honored by the presence of one of the foremost prohibition ad- vocates on the Pacific coast, and her citizens are to be congratulated on the privilege which they enjoy of listen ing to his eloquence and logic. The Hon. J. M Glass of Pasadena, Cal, has for many years been a leader in temperance reform work, and for sev- eral years was the chairman of the prohibition party in California, and was kept constantly in the lecture field. He is a genial warm-hearted gentle man, whom sit is a pleasure to know, and it is apparent that much of his success as a lecturer may be attributed to his personality.
 This is Mir. Glass first visit to Ari- zona, he having come to Prescott a few weeks since to visit his sons who are in business there. The Good Templars were prompt to avail themselves of the opportunity of securing hls services for a limited time, for the advancement of their order, and he is just now en- tering upon a lecture tour that will in clude most of the important towns and cities in southern Arizona.
 Mir. Glass is a prominent and active member of the Presbyterian church and takes a lively interest in church as well as temperance work. He de- lights to speak to young people, recog- nizing, as he says. that they will soon be the men and women to whom the nation must look for support and de- fense
 He is said to be very practical in his manner of presenting the questions that he discusses, by those who have heard him. The subjects announced in the folders issued by the Good Temp lars, are certainly of interest to every citizen of this broad land, and should receive careful consideration at the hands of all who are striving for better conditions and a higher moral stand ard in government. They are:
 Our Courtry-Present and Future" !"
 Christian Citizenship
 Prohibition of the Saloon"
 The Dollar or the Man"
 Labor and Capital"
 (Which is the Greatest Bulwark of the Liquor Traffic, Avarice or ADpe- tite?"
 MT. Glass has won many compliment tary and appreciative notices from the press and from prominent people where he has labored, but none more thor ough or sincere than the following ex- pressions given in a personal letter from the Rev. H. B. Long. pastor of the Congregational church in Prescott:
 ''I wish to mention the lectures de- hvere1 in Prescott by Hon. J. M. Glass with emphasis. Under different themes he discussed the great question Of tenn perance, and I confess that I never heard any person, or any phase of this familiar theme, who so highly enter tained and truly inspired me. He is ex- ceptionslly gifted as a platform speak CT and has the genius to make his audi tors feel all that he most deeply feels He is admirably adapted to lead men in reform work, and I trust that every where he goes Christian ministers and all people who are interested in the re- form of society will cheerfully give him their enthusiastic support, and CO., operate with him in advancing the reign of social righteousness. I most heartily endorse him as a true and mo- ble man with a grand and great mes sage"
 The first meeting to be addressed by MT. Glass in Phoenix will be a union one. at half past o'clock this evening in the First NJ. F. church. in which all of the young peoples societies of the city will unite The subject presented will be the broad one of Christian
