MICHIGAN H. AND T. SOCIETY.

By John Harvey Kellogg; E. P. Daniels

At a meeting held at Eaton Rapids, in connection with the camp-meeting, Aug. 4, for the promotion of the project of forming a State association to be known as the Health and Temperance Society of the State of Michigan, Dr. J. H. Kellogg presided. After the election of a secretary, the assembly listened to the reading of the constitution and by-laws of the National Association, and also to some very interesting remarks from Dr. Kellogg, offered in the interest of auxiliary associations to be formed hereafter.

Moved, That the constitution and by-laws be adopted by the assembly. Carried.

Moved, That a committee on nominations, consisting of three, be appointed by the Chair. Carried.

The following persons were appointed: W. C. White, S. H. King, and M. B. Miller.

During the absence of the committee the time was very profitably spent in asking and answering questions, concluding with a brief but pleasing description of the contemplated certificate of membership, now in the hands of the engraver, which is designed to illustrate the different stages of intemperance, from the moderate tippler to the confirmed inebriate.

A call being made for the report of the committee, the following names were respectfully submitted: For president, M. B. Miller; for secretary, Mrs. S. H. Lane. The report was adopted.

After some very interesting remarks by Dr. Kellogg, upon the propriety of putting into daily practice those principles upon which the present movement is founded, the assembly adjourned to call of Chair. J. H. KELLOGG, Chairman. E. P. DANIELS, Sec.
