I. We foe! it our duty to unite in
temperance societies because they
are n combination () f a ]| i|, c so | M .,
Itiut of community of all religious
parties, nnd of men of no religions
party, in a good cause. We have
never heard it claimed as a party
tiling; and vve should he unwilling’
to allow that any one sect has all the
praise in this work. So far as our
I knowledge extends, and vve claim tor
I have some knowledge on this sub
ject, there is no other party in it that*
a general rallying of the'friends of
temperance to put down intemper
ance. In the county where the wri
ter lives, the first temperance society
was formed by the Methodists, anti
the second tinough their
and most ofthe societies in the coun
ty by a Methodist agent. One of”
our number. (Rev. Davit I Kilbmn,
presiding elder of this district,) is ;-<v
