The Temperance Movement.

By James White

PATTERNING very much after the eastern Reform Clubs for the suppression of intemperance, the friends of the reform in this city and San Francisco have been doing a good work the present winter. The pledge has been taken rapidly for several months until the numbers have reached many hundreds.

By invitation of Mr. Jewell, pastor of the M. E. church, Mission street, San Francisco, Mrs. White spoke to a crowded house Sunday evening, February 17. The large house and extensive galleries and aisles were literally packed. Mrs. White handled the subject of Christian Temperance in her accustomed sharp and interesting manner. It is hoped that much good will result from the effort. J. W.
