GOOD TEMPLARs. brothers Night" in
Belfast Lodge, Good Templars, Monday
evening, was a complete success The en-
tertainment consisted of short talk by
Rev. E. S. Philbrook, Past Chaplain of the
Lodge, illustrated by the stereopticon. The
views were of a miscellaneous character,
including scenes from the "Land of Evan
geline," with an excellent picture of the
poet LongfellOw. Then came a series of
colored views representing young man in
a canoe in the smooth waters near the
rapids at Niagara Falls, and taking him
step by step into the rapids and to destruc-
ton over the falls. These views were used
to show the downward course of the young
man who begins to drink hard cider and
the lighter drinks. The talk upon this sub
ject was very interesting and forcibly put.
Then came several views representing the
"Life Of Christ" which concluded the en-
tertainment. A vote of thanks was ex-
tended to Mr.. Philbrook for his excellent
entertainment. Two candidates were in
itiated, and several more are to join later.
