who are they, engaged in doing this holy work
of charity to their fellow man? Almost to
manIthey are the Woodworking mechanics
men apparently of but little infuence-who,
after their daily toll, congregate, for the pur-
pose of persuading their fellow men, by the
force of natures eloquence alone, to abandon
the ruinous practice ofusing stimulating drinks.
To such men as Cammack, Owens, Thomp.
son, Smith, Whipple, Walsh, Wilson, Beck,
and many others, and above all, to Savage,
this community owe their present prosperity,
in great degree. Through the efforts of
these men, an advantageous change has been
effected in society; our laws are much better
respected than formerly-our churches are be-
ing we'll filled with good and true members
from the ranks Of the Temperance army, and
drunkenness and rowdyism is Of rare occur
renee


If men, holding an humble but honest po-
sition in society, can accomplish so much,
what would be the state of society, were men
of acknowledged influence to engage in the
work-our clergymen, lawyers, doctors, and
men of wealth? Is the work beneath such
men, or do they consider it out of the line of
their duty! We leave them to answer the
questions.
