To the friends Of Temperance


BRETHREN: Having identified myself with
your cause for many years past, feel that may
venture, with safety, to trespass for a moment
upon your indulgence. Prompted by desire 10
honor God, we are engaged, as you are aware,
in the erection of a new Church edfice. This
enterprise is not designed to invade any other
communion, or to interfere with any other organ
lied congregation, but from the autapprpriated
materials which are yet lying, as it were, in the
open field, to rear spiritual supersrnclure to the
honor Of Jehovah's name. Thus far God and the
people have smiled upon our efforts, and our
Church edifce is now enclosed. But we need
further aid and the ladies who in part compose
the congregation, will commence a Festival on
Monday evening next, in Ibdd's Concert Hall,
for the sale Of Fancy and useful articles and Re-
freshments May not solicit from you smile
of encouragement? Be assured that any sub
stdntial eyidencc, howeuer small, of your friendly
regard, will be long and gratefully remembered
by your fellow laborer in the cause Of humanity,


SEPTlMUS TUSTON.
