BRUSSELS, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1890.
GUELPH CONFERENCE.
Wednesday night a temperance meet.
ing was held which was fairly well aI.
tended. The epeakers were Rev. Messrs.
Gee, Brown and Riohardeon. Mr. Gee's
address contained some eloquent paeeagee.
He charged heavily against the careless.
nese of preachers and people and urged
the necessity of more vigorous notion.
Mr. Brown spoke of home influence, and
illustrated his point by drawing attep-
tion to himself and the small family of
fifteen of which he was one, all being
staunch temperance people, owing large•
ly to the influence of his Lather. Mr.
Riobardson was the last speaker, and
felt handicapped by the lateness of the
hour. He, however, epoke with vigor for
some time, arraigning the liquor
traffic ander three heads, first, the
swindle ; second, the swindler ; third,
the swindled. The meeting was even a
little more enthusiastic than it was last
year.

ities to take such action as shell place
