N. E. TEMPERANCE MEETING.

By D. A. Robinson; G. F. Haines

A MEETING was held at Ballard Vale, Sept. 1, for the purpose of organizing a State Health and Temperance Society. The meeting was opened with singing and prayer.
On motion, W. C. White was elected chairman, and F. A. Buzzell secretary pro tem.
The constitution recommended by the National Health and Temperance Association, in the organization of State societies, was then read and adopted.
On motion, the Chair appointed for a nominating committee, J. C. Tucker, O. W. Comings, and H. P. Wakefield.
Several persons were appointed as solicitors to canvass for pledges. As the result of this effort, 240 signed the teetotal pledge, 190 paying the initiation fee, and thus becoming full members. The society was permanently organized by the election of D. A. Robinson for president, and G. F. Haines Secretary.
At this meeting interesting remarks were made by W. C. White, on local clubs, and the importance of inducing others who are not of our faith to sign the pledge.
