Temperance Lectures in Tasmania
By L. A. H.
THE Examiner, of Launceston, Tasmania, gives almost a column report of a temperance lecture delivered by Elder A. G. Daniells. The first paragraph suggests the excellent reception given the lecture:— “At the Mechanics’ Institute last evening an instructive and interesting lecture was delivered by Mr. A. G. Daniells, the world president of the Seventh-day Adventists, who has been closely identified with the temperance movement in the United States, and is at present on a two years’ tour. ‘His subject was ‘Does Prohibition Prohibit?’ and the audience listened with rapt attention throughout his address, at the conclusion of which the speaker was greeted with loud applause. The mayor occupied the chair. “The mayor briefly introduced Mr. Daniells, who, he said, was widely known throughout America as a temperance advocate. He had been in the field for many years, and had accomplished much useful work. He was sure that his address would be instructive and beneficial.”
