TEMPERANCE WORK IN MICHIGAN.
By M. B. Miller
WE are anxious that the temperance work may still go forward in Michigan. Much has been done in this work at our camp-meetings during the past season, but much remains yet to be done. We have more than twelve hundred signers to the pledges. Hundreds more should sign this winter. As most of those who have signed the pledge did so while attending camp-meeting, but few local clubs have been formed. What we want now is to form clubs all through the State. In so doing we shall reach those who have not had an opportunity to connect themselves with this work. When these clubs are thus organized, we shall have accomplished a great work, and be ready to present a solid front against the cause of intemperance. In order that the above-named work may be accomplished, we appoint all our ministers and tract directors who have signed the teetotal pledge, to act as agents to form H. and T. clubs. We do not ask you to do this work to the neglect of other important duties, but we do ask you to give it that attention it demands. It is a part of the last great work in which we are engaged. All who form clubs should send the secretary the name and address of all who sign the pledge, specifying those who pay the initiation fee of twenty-five cents. No part of this money should be retained. It should be sent to the secretary. We have blank books for keeping the records and accounts of clubs. All who will send us the address of the secretary of their club will be furnished this book. Do not fail to do this, as we desire uniformity throughout the State in this work. Any of those above specified lacking the needed information about forming clubs, can obtain it by addressing the secretary, Miss Jennie Thayer, Battle Creek, Mich. M. B. MILLER, Pres. Mich. H. and T.
