number of interesting talks were
made on the subject, of temperance
work. The musical features were
especially good and the meeting was
a decided success. The attendance
was very large.
The union meeting participated in
by the various congregations of the
city opened at the Congregational
church shortly before eight O'Clock.
In spite of the bad weather the CON
gregation was large one, the lower
floor and the capacious balconies of
the church being completely filled.
The Damon New Orleans Students
who will appear at the church tonight
in an entertainment, were present and
gave three beautiful selections which
proved highly enjoyable.
Rev. Forsyth, pastor of the Method
list church. delivered the address of
the evening. Naturally his discourse
dealt with the past present and future
of the temperance movement. He
brought out many fine thoughts and
held the undivided attention of the
congregation as he discussed in a
most brilliant and intelligent manner
the various phases OF the temperance
question. He painted a very bright
future for the movement.
Rev. Forsyth gave much attention
to the spirit of reform that is sweep
ing over the country, declaring that
the best citizenship of the various
states was making itself felt. He re-
ferred to the recent election, the re
suit of which was on the whole very
gratifying. This spirit of reform as
exemplified in the defeat of politi
cal bosses and corrupt rings is con-
stantiy growing and will bring re-
forms in many other fields. The
speaker paid a high tribute to Gov.
Folk of Missouri and other leaders
who have proven too much for the
bosses and corrupt political machines,
Rev. Forsyth appned this reform
movement to the growth of the tenn
perance movement.
Those who heard Rev. Forsyth last
night declared that his address was
one of the very strongest ever de
livered in Grand Junction on the
question. 1t was power
full discourse. and certainly made a
impression upon the aud
fence.
Miss Ferbrache, the soloist, was I'M
able to be present and participate
in the program being quite i'll.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Grand Junction Min
isterial Alliance. 1t was one of the
best temperance meetings. ever held
in the city.
