Sure as fate the dead has come 10 life
and if we are Judge of symptoms, there i;
good deal of vigor yet left The meet
ing on Tuesday evening at the Pfesbyteri
an Church was numerou- ly attended, and
all present must have been delighted in
listening TO the able addresses Of Nessfs
ScRUGGs and CLAPP. All, in the least
acquainted with the abilities or these gentle
men, must feel assured that The cause in
which they appeared, was aoly advocated.
and that every plea in favor of using or sell
ling ardent spirits, met with the mos; with
eriug rebuke.


At the close oflhe meeting :he follow
ing resolution was unanimously adopted


ReSoYred, That the Cause of the Tenn
perance reform calls for renewed exertion
un the the part of ALL the friends of human
Ity, virtue, and religion; and we pledge
ourselves to renewed diligence in promoting
Its interests.


a resolution was also Introduced provi-
ding for the regular monthly meeting, TO be
held on Sabbath evenings, a;erna ting ia
the different churches Of the place, which
was laid over until the next meeting, to be
held in the Methodist Church, on the third
Sabbath in Murch.

nations of christians will lose nothing by
suspending the exercises in their churches
once month, to unite all their oner gies in
the suppress On Of vice hat, more than any
other evil, retards the spread of vital reli-
gion. Let them adopt this cou sc, and
revival of religion will assu>edIy follow
such welltimed Efforts in the temperance
reformation; it never has failed TO be atten,
ded by the richest blessings OF Heaven, and
never will. The great advantage OF hold
ing temperance meetings on Sunday
night, and having service in no olher
church is, that numbers will attend, whom
the week will be prevented by business and
on Sabbath day By amuaements. found by
riding OF walking into the country. To
accomplish the designs OF the friends OF tenn
perance, they must, to some extent, sacri-
flee their inclinations, and adapt their time
and efforts to the time and inclination of
those TO be operated on. and that in this
country, is class worth making sacrifices
Tor.


At all events, we trust there will be no
more tagging by the friends of this noble
cause until every dfunkard shall be refor.
med, and the traffic in liquid fire forever
abandoned.
