gathered in the Methodist char& Met
Sabbath evening to bear a temperance
address; by Rev. 0. V. Lake, The rever•
end gentleman Defied his remarks on
joel 8:8 "They sold a girl for wine." Be
exhorted all to take the pledge and than
keep it, The Reohabitee were a model
temperance organization. When wine
was set before them and they were oom•
mended to drink they refused because
their grandfather, Jonadab had an.
mended them to "Drink no wine."
Daniel had been sorely tempted but name
out of the temptation by saying "I purpoe-
ed in my heart," Thus should we resist
temptation. Tbe speaker then dwelt up-
on the riureaeonable demand of an appe-
tite for strong drink. AD in olden days
they sold a girl with all her (capabilities,
possibilities and influence for wine, so
to day many men are nnoonsiolonely
ing their girls for wine. Men have been
known to barter their property, their
honor, their all for the sake of gratifying
this appetite. Many men in oar prisons
and jails would never have been there
had they not been sold for wine. The
speaker gave numerous examples that
had come under his own observation of
families that bad been ruined and homes
blighted by this love of wine. He closed
hie remarks by an earnest appeal to all
to slay the appetite and save their money. ,
Prof. Grant sang a temperanoe solo,
"Has father been here'' after the address
that was very appropriate.
