The character and importance Of organized
Temperance Associations are fast engrosspg
the attention Of all classes, and ere long, through
their benign influence, though soft and silent,
yet sweet and powerful, they must rapidly
result in the diffusion of hope, JOY, peace, and
happiness, not only among their members and
immediate connexions, but also through the
entire community. The extinction of intem-
perance, and promotion Of benevolence, being
their characteristics, sufficiently enttle them
to the countenance and support Of every moral
and good citizen. While yet there is merit in
helping the good work on, we say to all, 60 and
do likewise, for ere long You will have to make
virtue of necessity in being drawn into it, by
its universal sway. FRESCA.
