-AJV ESSAY
BY MISS WORTIE M. LESTER,
READ BEFORE
Lexington Lodge, No. 316,1.0. G. T.
To theWVorthy Officer* and Members of
Lexington Lodge, No. 316, /. 0. G T. :
Kind Friends: —l have been request
ed by our Worthy Chief to write an es
say for the benefit of our noble Order,
and it becomes my most pleasant duty to
thank you for the very distinguished
honor you have thus conferred upon me.
And, first, dear friends, let me assure
you that although I feel inadequate to
the duty imposed, and should I prove, as
I apprehend, unable to advance anything
worthy of your attention ; still, in return
for this honor, please to remember to re
ceive not only my heart-felt thanks, but
my earnest labors. I feel an uncommon
interest in this organization, for under
no other consideration would I supply so
conspicuous a position, and it will ever
prove a source of great pleasure to be the
means of yielding anything for its
benefit.
I have chosen no particular theme for
the subject of my essay, nor do I deem
it essay—but merely a friendly talk—in
fact, our Order itself furnishes sufficient
themes for our mutual edification.
But to our talk—
Varying and fleeting is the grand and
glittering panorama which is placed in
“ Life’s Picture Gallery ” to attract and
rivet the attention of man, and various
are the pictures hung on the walls to re
tain his gaze; but these differ not only
in the tintings and colors, but also in the
lessons designed to teach.
Notice, for instance, that one in which
a cloudless sky bends over a glittering
mass of water, while the waves with
graceful motion kiss and fondle the
wide-spreading beach of white sand;
breezes, perfumed with the spicy breath
of fair Araby, seem to fan the radiant
shores—such is the landscape which
hangs in the Studio of Life, and although
such pictures may be very pleasant to
contemplate, still we do not propose to
linger. This view may be as bright and
enticing as the brilliant landscape which
lay spread out before the wonder-stricken
Phoebus, as with his prancing steed he
stands preparatory to the long journey.
This scene may be radiant and bright,
but remembering that it is far too ethe
real and fancy for real life, we turn as it
fades from our gaze. Ah! a sadder pic
ture greets us—but one, I regret to say,
far more real and life-like.
Behold in a room in which the cold,
biting winds of Mid-winter whistles and
sport carelessly ; outside a barren and
chilly prospect appeal’s ; snow , aye, the
cold, white snow, covers the bare roof;
hut within is a sadder, far sadder scene ;
crouching over a few’ coals, striving, in
vain, to restore the warmth to her be
numbed fingers, to enable her to proceed
while she sews, and the blinding tears
flow ceaselessly down her pallid cheeks,
do we see a miserable woman, “ poor
sufferer, whose lot her God only knows ! ”
Far off in a corner lies a starving and
shivering child, starving for w’ant of
nourishment to rekindle the flickering
flame of life; freezing, while a cold per
spiration of Death gathers on its brow.
But harki a step startles us, and a
bloated mass of humanity enters. Mad
dened by the squalid misery he beholds ;
curses falling from his lips ; reeling and
staggering towards the hearth, he seizes
a black bottle, only to rush from the
aceneof desolation which his own hand
aas caused, only to drown his sorrow in
. another drink.

T Sad thought! but sad though it be,, it
is nevertheless true, and need I tell you
cause ? The demon of Intoxication,
tkft wily old serpent, Strong Drink,
crept into a once happy home, and mark
the state of affairs which followed its en
trance.
The father once noble and distinguish
ed, occupying an elevated position in
<3, social life, learned jo “ look upon the
F wine when it was red, when it givefh its
Fv color cup,” unmkwlt'ul of the sol-
Dc*woUid follow.
Hats the taste for strong drink utcreas-
Conyors appeared as links of flow-
Covingtr ut > at last* they were woven into
hanv *§ fetters of brass, binding the wil-
X > h-oB; victim. Deeper and deeper he sinks
( xu.into its meshes ; lower, still lower, he
N i .escends into poverty,dragging his help
'i n u wife with him.. Friends, once faith-
Tfo alone with adversitv ; and now in
Emorv ’
; tU| j cofdition in which we find
he realizes these sad words, “■ at last.
it biteth like a serpent and stingest like
an adder.” Can it be that man, created
in the image of his Maker, is thus blind
ed and infatuated by the arch fiond ?
Friends, is this picture too highly tinted ?
Can you say that it is the result of an
enthusiastic imagination? No, ah ! no,
it is too true !!
But I would now ask you what are you
doing under such circumstances? What
to baffle the fierce fiend, “Rum,” the
fearful messenger of Death ?
“ Shall we fold our hands and bid him pass,
As he has passed before,
Leaving his deadly poisoned draught
At every unbarred door?”
Is this our mission on earth, we who
have enlisted under the banner whose
staff is Faith, whose motto, Hope, and
whose beautiful material, Charity ? Shall
we stand idly by, w’hile far around us,
life’s sea is strewn with wrecks, the dead,
the dying, the helpless, the hopeless —
all left to perish amid the roaring waves ?
Shall we remain lifeless, making no ef
fort to reclaim the lost ones, to com for
the w’eary wife, and calm the suffering
mother’s woes?
Then the thirsty lion enters their
homes, and—
“ Causes a wife’s fond heart to break,
And makes her children’s tears to flow.”
Are these the lasting benefits to be
gained, the noble lessons to be taught by
these three words, Faith, Hope, Charity ?
When the solemn obligation w’as repeat
ed, did we promise to stand with our
hands folded in proud silence, attempt
ing nothing for our noble cause, there
fore achieving nothing ?
Far from us be such a thought—no,
“ Nobler the motives that each should inspire;
Holier the work in which each has a part—
Self should be lost in the fierce melting fire
That purges the dross from the great human
heart.”
Let us work and labor for our noble
cause; raise your voice of condemnation
against the destructive draught, and en
deavor, with all your might, to dethrone
the most abandoned ruler that ever sway
ed a sceptre, unmindful of the widow’s
groan and the wail of anguish sent up by
fatherless orphans.
“ Man, rouse thee and list to the wail of thy
brother,
Man, lieafken, thy sister is pleading her
part—
God made thee their keeper, and not on an
other
The blame can ye shift when they knock at
thy heart!”
Battle earnestly, and you will certainly
vanquish the foe. This is a Temperance
duty, for have you not the sweetest words
to cheer you onward ? Is not the order
founded on these words, “ Faith, Hope,
Charity.” Faith, the golden link ’twixt
the abode of the Blessed. Redeemer, and
this sin-cursed world. Hope, the beacon
star, gilding their pathway to that home
where it is changed to glad fruition.
Charity, the noblest virtue, combining
the purest sentiments, Sympathy, For
giveness, Meekness. Charity, the re
frain of the Angels’ heralding song,
“ Gofd will to man! ” the sweetest words
to comfort man this side of Heaven.
If you will heed these words, and work
nobly for the cause of Temperance, soon
the reign of King Alcohol will be ended,
and where once crime and misery spread
over our land, prosperity and peace will
reign; the wife’s tears will be dried, the
mother’s heart comforted. Is this assur
ance not worth our earnest labors, all of
which will be effected by the advance
ment of the Temperance cause ?
In the meantime, the lady members
are not exempt from this labor, for al
though they are not expected to battle
in the conflict of public life, buffeted by
the sharp winds of adversity, still they
may give their influence to this cause at
their own homes. None are exempt
from this great w ork; “ Every hand,
though small and feeble, can work out
some good or ill.” Yes, let us build up
the monument of Temperance, until it
shall meet the sun in its coming, and the
last rays of declining day shall play
around its summit.
Then when the roar of life’s billows
has tolled far away—then, and not till
then, —at our Saviour’s feet, shall we
humbly learn tlw lessons of Faith, Hope
and Charitv !
Let us labor assiduously; still remem
bering
“ To Hope, though clouds environ now,
And gladness hides her face with scorn; —
Put thou the shadows from the brow,
There is no night but hath its morn.
“ Have Faith, where e’er thv bark is driven ;
The calm ■s disport— the tempest’s mirth—
Know this God rules the host of Heaven,
And all the inhabitants of earth.
“ Have Charity ! not charity alone for one,
But man as man, thy brother call,
And scatter like the circling sun
Thy charities on all! ’*
min Tappan, of Ohio, that when he ap
plied to the Judges of the Supreme
‘ Court for admission to the bar of the
State, he asked the fallowing ques
tions, to which he gave the answers as
follows: “Mr. Tappan, what is law?”
Answer —‘‘An unjust distribution of
justice “Mr. Tappan, vrhat is equity?”
Answer—“A and -d imposition upon
commou sense.” No other questions
were asked, and he \rjis given a certifi
; cate of admission.

It may be said of the GLOBE that no news
paper was ever so cordially received by the
people for whom it was intended. It was es
tablished as a representative Republican jour

in the IV est gave-it cordial welcome from the
first. For this we are thankful, and we shall
alwavs endeavor to repay the favor in the best
possible manner, whieh'is by proving that we
deserve it.
W Idle the GLOBE will always be in the
front to sustain the Republican partv and
measures, it will reserve the right, as it is its
duty, or the duty of any newspaper, to opj>ose
measure not in unison witJi Republican
pi inei])]es. althofiifh it may emanate from men
acknowledging allegiance to the Republican
party.

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE!
THE SAVANNAH MORNING HEWS,
o
It wonld require the scope of quite a large
volume to contain the good things that are said
about the Mokniso N kws bv its contempora
ries of the Southern press. It is almost dailr
referred to as “the l>est daily in the South, 5 ’
“ the leading Georgia daily*’’ etc., and it is
generally conceded to be in all respects a model
Southern newspaper.
This is the same that the Morxikg News
covets, and no pains will be spared hereafter
to make it still worthier of the confidence and
patronage of the people of Georgia and Flori
da. The ample resources of the establishment
will be devoted to the improvement of the pa
per in respect to its already large facilities for
gathering the current news of the day, and iu
stall of special correspondents lias been reor
ganized with a view to meeting every possible
contingency that may arise.
Although the Mousing News has hut little
or no competition within the field of its circu
lation, nevertheless no effort wiil be considered
too expensive that gives the earliest and fresh
est information to its readers. 111 this respect
there will he no relaxation of the endeavor to
keep it far ahead ot all its contemporaries.
The features that have rendered the paper
so popular will be maintained. The editorial
department will be conducted with the same
dignineu though tf conservative vigor
and earnest devotion to principle that have al
ways characterized it. The nicy reliability of
5 f.i >til ' a,H t 3 e accu raey and complement*
of the commercial departments, will he kept
up to the old standard, and improvements wiil
be made wherever they are suggested by ex
perience. Ihe Mornixg News is the only
Savannah paper that publishes the Associated
Press dispatches and the telegraphic market
reports authorized by the Commercial Bureau
of New York City. In addition to this the
local market reports will he full and reliable
and will be accompanied by suc h comment as
will enaole the business men of Georiria and
Florida to form estimates as accurate And as
intelligent as lfthev were in the city
In a word, the Morning News' Will cora
pnse even feature that renders the modem
newspaper attractive, and its readers may con
fidently look to its columns for the latest in
formation in regard to everything of current
interest. It will admit of no rivalry in
own pro}e r field, and will allow no competh
tor to outstrip it in any department of jour
nalistic enterprise. J
