ENCOURAGING.
Reports most flattering are con
stantly being received at this office of
the high appreciation of the People’s
Friend by our brothers and sisters of
the order. A brother at Adairsville
writes, ‘I can’t live without the Friend,’
another says, “if the Friend could
generally be taken by the masses in
temperance would not long curse the
land.” These opinions are to us as
“apples of gold in pictures of silver’’
for what are we worth in this life if we
do no good with it ?
Onr books show that we have given
to the cause of Good Templarism since
the Friend was started several hundred
dollars and we are happy to say that
a large liberality on our part has
prompted members of the order all
over the State to work earnestly for
the People’s Friend, and as a conse
quence of that work subscribers are
coming in. more rapidly than during
any previous month. Let the good
work go on and the victory is surely
won.
——
We hope every lodge in Georgia
will send full quotas of delegates to
the Grand Lodge which meets in Au
gusta the last Wednesday in Septem
ber. We are in favor of electing the
very best men to manage our affairs
next year for the older our Grand
Lodge becomes the more danger there
is of trouble and dissension in our
ranks. Wto are old fogy enough to
believe the old adage that “a new broom
sweeps clean” and are therefore in fa
vor of electing a new set of officers
out and out. Our old fogyism also
believes that other old adage “there's
as good fish iu the sea as ever yet came
out,” and we know we have as good
material for Grand oilieers in our sub
ordinates as have ever yet graced
those chairs.
We further know that for the hon
or of the position our Grand Officers
of this year have enough to retire on,
and if any one would fain longer feast
on the money of the thing shame on
him. We are for “one term men,”
“let honors bo easy.”
We are out and out opposed to the
unwise expenditure of $2500 to pay a
Grand Lecturer. We are not opposed
to that Judas-like—we don't hold the
money bags.
We ate in for the good of the order
money or no money.
VIRGINIA HEARD FROM.
During the past few days we have
received several orders for the People’s
Friend from that noble old State of
Virginia. One brother suggests that
the Friend will be the cause of organ
izing a Good Templars Lodge at Am
herst. Va., others equally encouraging.
Thus the paper goes out making its
influence felt far and near.
Another brother writes from that
State: “I received a part of your pa
per around some goods I bought and
was so much pleased with it that I
want it, so send the Friend of the
People’s along.” The Friend is daily
sowing good seed wherever it goes and
is bearing its golden fruit in thousands
of places we know nothing of, but we
hear of enough to let us know our la
bor is not in vain.
' Perform a good deed, speak a kind word
bestow a plea-ant smile. and you will re
ceive one in return. The happiness you
bestow upon others, is reflected back iu
your own bosom.
The man who can be nothing but serious
or nothing but merry, is but half a man.—
[ Leigh Hunt.
Atlanta, Ga., July 22, 1873.
Dear “Friend.”—lnclosed you will'
please find ft letter frdm our esteemed
Bro. Randall, which I respectfully ask
that you. will publish, I having asked
and obtained the consent of the wri
ter to do so. It is strange to me that,
for a moment, there should be any op
position to the children’s societies, but
still some have one objection and oth
ers another. Even parents often op
pose this work of their children, no
matter what these same children
would be engaged in if they were not
in attendance at the Cold Water Tem
ples.
A circumstance occurs to our mind
that transpired shortly after the or
ganization of the Juvenile society: A
certain prominent Reverend gentle
man, who may serve as a warning to
parents who oppose this organization,
has three sons that the writer was ac- !
quainted with, two of which belonged ,
to the order of C. W. T., but on ac- [
count of that organization meeting on
Sunday, the two boys were ordered by
their father to withdraw from the
order, while the third son, sad to re
late, was reeling through the streets,a
drunken loafer, cursing his own fath
er’s name, mocking the religion the
father preached and publicly declaring
that money was all the religion there
was in him. Says he, “stop the old
hypocrit’s money, and he will stop
preaching so quick you will not know
it”—at the same time uttering the
most fearful oaths. When we heard
of this, our heart quailed to think of
what might be the fate of the other
brothers, who, left to themselves as the
elder had been, and even withdrawn
from good associations through a whim
or prejudice, and allowed to seek any
other they desired.
May God,in his infinite mercy, watch
over and guard them from the danger
befallen a neglected brother; and may
He protect the children of Acworth
from the snares Satan lays for them:
first, dissatifaction, then absence from
all that is good, finally the fall—ruin
and disgrace!
Brethren and Sisters of Acworth,
never let it be said that one of you
oppose the protection and instruction
of the young. You was young once,
and how ye craved the sympathy of
the older ones. As temperance peo
ple, it will be useless for you to weep
over the fall of the drunkard and his
suffering family iu the neighboring
city of Cartersville, while you neglect
your children at home.
To work, Brothers and Sistert!
away with your petty quibblings; go
to work as God has given you strength,
j We raise the voice of warning to pa
rents, and bid them, in kindness and
love, to beware—their duties are many
and their responsibilities heavy.

[Bro. Randell’s letter will appear iu
our next issue.—Ed. Friend.]
The Effects of Intemperance.
The effects of intemperance are seen ev
ery day along the streets of every town,
and in every village, and even along the ,
public roads. We see both women and
children in tatterd garments who have been
brought from splendor to poverty by the
effects of intemperance.
While this mighty monster is bringing
our country to a ruineous condition, let it
be our mightest endeavor to drive it from
our land. We call on every true friend of
temperance. It is your duty to use your
influence for the temperance cause. We ;
should send temperance men to the Legis
lature in order to have th* temperance bill
passed, and we should have a temperance
Governor so that he may not veto that
bill.
i If we ever succeed in driving intempance
from our land we must commence at the
ballot-box-- moral suation will not suffice.
We must have legal suasion, so that we
may put an end to the liquor iraffi: which
has so long been a curse to our land. It
has been the ruin of the most useful men
in our country. Some of our wealthiest
men have been brough down to pauperism.
I This will be the condition of our State so
long as her laws allow the use of the pois
onous spirits. Lot every one who pre
tends to be a friend to the temperance
cause go forth in the discharge of his duty
and let vs march onward with our banner
waving over the head of every opposi
tion.
This tsr a matter of unlimited importance.
Seeing-the great number that are sufferim
daily from the effects of intemperance: ’, e t
every person that friend who are ip the
habit of indulging in intoixeation, go to
them and try to elevate tfieir minds, bring
them up in their own'estimation, show
them the great danger they are in, and
the end that may grow out of the example
’ they are setting before their child/en.
Whenever we all do this we will see a
great change in our country. Men that
are now drunkards will be seen with their,
children carrying them to church and visi
ting temperance halls .and they will bring
their children up in good society so as to
be respected by all persons.
This is a work that has the approval of
God and with this encouragement let us
work with the assurance of sucees.
Home Affection.
The heart has affecctions that never die.
The rough rubs of the world never obliter
ate them. They are the memories of home
—only’ home; there is the old trss under
which the lighthearted boy swung many a
day: yonder is the river in which he learn
ed to swin, there is the house iu wSich he
knew a parent’s protection—nay, there is
the room in which brother and sister, long
since Lid in the yard in which we must
soon be £a‘hered over-shadowed by you old
church, whither with a joyous troop like
himself he had often followed his parents
to worship, and hear the good old man who
ministered at the altar. Even the very
school-house, associated in youthful days
with thoughts task, now comes to bring
pleasant remembrance of many occasions
that called forth some generous exhibition
of noble traits of human nature. There is
where he learned to feel some of his- emo
tions. There perchance, he first met the
being who, by her love and tenderness in
life, has made a home far happier than
that which his childhood had known.
There are certain feelings of humanity—
and those, too, among the best —that can
find no appropriate place for their exer
cise only at one’s fireside.—A r afibn.
Butter Churning Made Easy
Strain the milk shallow, the mor&surface
the more cream, hence large pans are the
best. Keep it in a room free from jars;
do not churn in the room; keep it at an
even temperature it must have light and
air; it is much like the rest of us and spoils
for want of gtfod pure air, but it is averse
to draughts. it if you want good,
sweet cream skim when the milk is thoroug
hly thick or loppered. <lf you skim sooner
you will lose some cream; if later, there
will be spots on it or mold, and your but
te rwill not keep. After skiming your cream
into your cream pail, stir altogether with a
case-knife is best, as it manipulates the
the particles against the sides of the pail
more thorouhly. This process takes but
a moment, and if you do it each time that
you skim, when you como to churn (if your
milk is at proper temperature) your butter
will come iu less than ten minutes, as the
particles are already half churned.
Mirth at Mealtime.— Everybody
should plan to have pleasant conversation
a t the table.just as they do for good food. A
little story telling, & little reading-it m
be of humorous things, anecdotes, etc., will
often stimulate the joyous element of the
mind and cause it to act vigorously. Try
and avoid going to the table all tired out.
Let all troublesome topics be avoided.
Don’t scold domestics. Don’t discipline
children. Think and say something pleas
ant. Cultivate mirth, and laugh when
anything witty is said. If possible, never a
lone. Invite a friend of whom you are
fond, and try and have a good time
Friendship and friendly intercourse ta- ;
ble whets the appetite and promotes the
flow of annual spirits. — Herald of Health
That was a beautiful idea in the mind
of a li'tle ffirl, who on beholding a rose
bush, on the topmost stem of which a rose
was fading, whilst below and around it
three beautiful crimson buds were just un
folding their charms at once and earnestly
exclaimed to her brothcrer, “William, I
these little bud.- have awakened in time to |
kiss their mother before she dies.
Do you owe your neighbor anything,
and have you the money layining by
with which you could pay him? If so settle
the debt at once and thereby enable him to
pay some body he owes, who in turn may
be owing you and is just waiting for your
neighbor te pay him that he may pay you.
If every man would pay his debts who can
it would enable a great many to pay theirs
who cnanot, and would be a perfect silencer
to the cry of hard times.
Ir Didn’t Take. A young man in

strategy, so he took her out for a boat
rid.e, and threatened to jump overboard
i oto the lake if she did’nt consent to marry
him. But it did not work. She offered
