MALINS AT SESCOMBE.  On Saturday evening about 50 Good Template connected with the West Cheshire District Lodge sat down to tea in the Vienna Hall, after which Mr. Joseph Matins, Grand Chief Templar of the Order, delivered a lecture. There was • good attendance at the lecture, which was apparently highly enjoyed. Mr. F. Johnston, J.P., presided, and among those present were the Rev. T. W. ,Bowman, the Rev. G. Brown, Mr. R. P. J. Simpson, Mr. T. B. Braithwaite, and others. The Chairman said he was pleased to preside on the occasion of the visit of the Grand Chief Templar. He saw him for the first time 18 years ago, and that night he appeared as young as ever. They welcomed him to the parish, and they were also glad to be able to say they were doing well in that district. They were never doing better in that and in every good cause than in the year of grace 1890. Still they were only putting their hand to the plough. They would be phased to know that that excellent lady whom he thought was • great friend to the Wallasey police reported that five out of every six policemen in the parish were pledged abstainers. What that meant he could not tell. It meant so much hemane and kindly treatment of men and women who bad allowed themselves to be overtaken by drink. He thought it wee a good thing that they had in this parish so many who were on the side of temperance, and who were always anxious to do the best they could for those who were in trouble. He bad had occasion to feel grateful to the police for the kindness shown to helpless women who were overcome by drink. They also were always ready to assist the poor suicides and others who were in trouble. As to hood Templary work he believed there had been an increase in both juvenile and adult temples. In addition to temperance work there was • growing feeling that they must also do their beet to promote the domestic well-being of the country. He was now happy to introinee the head of the order, who had done so mach to promote the principles of Good Templary in that and other couutries. Mr. Malins then delivered his lecture on "Tern. pomace travels in many lands," in the course of which he narrated what he had seen and kuewu during the past 24 years. It appeared that be first joined the Good Tempters in America, where he went as soon as he was married. He was attracted to the order, because he believed in a kind of temperense that taught every man who signed the pledge that he profited by signing it, atd that he ought to do something to spread the principles of temperance. He also liked it because it was democratic, and he relished the idea of a working tailor and some of the leading statesmen of the country sitting down side by side and going through the same initiation coremerry. Mr. Melia' proceeded to give an seaman& of how he visited and established lodges in Norway, bweden, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, Bessie, Austria, Gibraltar, the lifeltese lalands, Aden, the Gold Coast, Sierra Leone, Freetown, and Australia. His journeys were depicted on maps hung on the wall, and the lecturer interspersed his narrative with a number of stories told with a peculiarly dry humour, which was greatly appreciated. Oa the motion of the Chairman a hearty vote of thanks was passed to the lecturer, and • similar compliment to the olmirmats terminated the proceedings.
