ONE ITEM MORE

By M. B. Miller

About the health and temperance cause at the Eaton Rapids camp-meeting. Sunday evening, Eld. Canright gave a discourse on the subject of temperance. This prepared the way for signing the pledge. A goodly number of signers were obtained that evening, but the most interesting feature of this part of the work occurred the next day. Monday morning, the social meeting was turned to the same subject. The testimonies of Brn. Root, Carman, and Bramhall were particularly interesting, as they gave something of their experience in connection with the temperance work, and expressed their feelings about the present movement. They, with scores of others, signed the pledge, and the work did not stop until it spread all through the camp.

As before reported, a State Health and Temperance society was formed, and there are at present about eight hundred in the State who have signed the pledge. Let us do what we can to carry the work forward, until all shall have opportunity to sign the pledge, thus putting the temperance movement on a firm foundation.

We hope that both ministers and people will read Bro. White's article on Christian Temperance, in last week's REVIEW, and heed the suggestions offered. We can also say, God speed the good and great work to its consummation.
