FALL TEMPERANCE
CAMPAIGN STARTED
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING HELD
AT BLANCHARD HALL
Son of Francis Murphy, in Charge of
Associations Work, Says the
Movement Is Assured
of Success

The fall campaign of the Francis
Murphy Gospel Temperance association
was launched Sunday night in a most
enthusiastic meeting at Blanchard hall.
The association has been organized to
carry on the work which was started in
this city by the beloved advocate Of
gospel temperance, Francis Murphy,
and his son, William j., Murphy, who
has charge of the work, is proving a
most successful leader.
In opening the meeting he empha-
sized the fact that this is work of
love, which is the most powerful force
in the world. Il do not care how low
a man may have fallen, how his sys-
tenn is polluted with sin, the world may
turn its back on him, he may shake
and tremble with the palsy of sin, yet
there are hope and redemption for him
through the power of love and the
remedy for all sin. 1t matters not
whether on the desert alone or in the
solitude of caVerns of stone or on the
street, if the request be made of God
hope and deliverance will come to him
and he will become a monument to the
grace of God, even though everything
else has failed"
Hall to Be Erected
This work is now assured of per-
manent success by the recent incor-
poration of the association under the
laws of California, and it is hoped that
from this as a center other meeting
places will be established and workers
sent out. 1t is planned to secure
place on Main street. if possible, where
meetings can be held every night and
work done directly among the men
whom this association desires directly
to influence. In time, it is hoped, hall
will be erected to perpetuate the work
of Francis Murphy and be a fitting
memorial to his devotion to the cause
in which he labored.
AS a mark of respect and apprecia
tion of the work which is being done
in these meetings, the Volunteers of
America united with this meeting in a
body, and Mr.. Ailward, who is in
charge of the local corps, told Of his
sympathy with the work.
The members of the board of direc
tors of the newly organized association
were present and each addressed the
j. e. Carr presided and said
that he is very much encouraged with
the outlook for the winters work. w.
S. Bartlett said: There is one word
which we have incorporated into the
name of the association which identi-
fes 1t in this community and which
drew me to Francis Murphy as well as
to the association, and that is the word
gospel. Religion includes temperance.
This is not merely a laudable effort to
uplift humanity; it is also directed
along Christian lines of work"
Work Slow but Sure
S. P. Mulford, vice president, ex-
planned that the work the society is
doing is to reach the individual and to
accomplish the aim rather than 10
work from the outside through COM
pulsion. 1T may be slow, but every
movement is slow. We do
not expect to accomplish all our work
in these meetings. This is to be a
where we can tell our ex-
periences in the work of the week in !
other places. One of the misfortunes

of the past has been that the forces of
temperance have fought among them
selves over the method of accomplish
ing the result. This association aims
to work in harmony with any body Of
men whose aim is to bring about the
abolition of the saloon. Temperance
people should work and vote together
and prevent the getting into power Of
those who will allow the saloon in
terests to dominate the city"
]. H. de la Monte closed the meeting
with some words of encouragement A
large choir, led by J. w. Eccleston,
proved a great help, and selections by
Mrs. Wayland Trask and Francis Muir
