Report oj the Cherokee female Society
fordoing good.
Our Society was organized on the
8th of August 1830; more (lian a
year ago. Since then, it hai met
several times to promote its designs
and receive new members. The So
ciety now embraces 40 member! in
Ki u
and appreciate its very worthy ob
ject. Nope of our members have
been called away by th© stroke ol
death, because w* liavw been preserv
ed by tbs goodness of God: for which
we desire to render thanks to him.
But with much reluctance, we are
constrained to state., that the Society
has beea obliged to expel five mem
bers for misconduct. Wc feet it to
be important that every unworthy
member should he cut off; that t one
but the honorable, and those who are
resolved to pursue a course of re
spectability and usefulness, may be
associated together in this Socio-
ty.
. The Society haa kept constantly
in view the importance r tf the 4th
article of our constitution, which re
quires us to abstain front the use of
ardent spirits, and to ute our endeav
ours to persuade our relatives and
friends to Ibllew our example. We
gladly co-optrute with tbe Cherokee
Temperance Society in the good ob
ject of discouraging ktemptrsnee in
our natioQ, »•*.£ we sincerely rejoice
manifest success which has.
