AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE
OF GEORGIA.
FROM TIIS WOMAN’S CHRISTIAN TEM¬
PERANCE UNION.
The Woman’s National. Christian Tem¬
perance Union have set apart tlie 23rd of
December as a day of thanksgiving and
prayer to God for tlie rapid advancement
of the teinperenee came throughout our
country and throughout the world, Tne
progress lias been so marvelous of what
was a few years ago considered such a for¬
lorn hope, that God has surMy been in it,
working upon the hearts aud consciences
of men and women and stirring them up
to duty and the performance of His will.
The moriing light is breaking.
The darkness disap (ears, waking
Tlie sons of eartli are
To penitential tears.
Each breeze that sweep* Hie ocean
Brings tidings from afar
Of earth’s remotest nations
Prepared for Zion’s war.
breaking is ful l
And the light that ia so
of promise to the wretched and hopeless,
to the captive and sin-burdened, to the
innocent and defenceless (and to the suf¬
fering and perishing, asffo appear almost
like the second coming of the Star of Beth
fchem.
Let God’s people then everywhere, take
courage 'and rejoicing with thanksgiving
take hold and help along in the work.
We call upon the State of Georgia to re¬
turn special thanks for the glorious victo¬
ries gained and the benefits received. Our
sister States are looking towards us witk
interest, and for example. Let usjwith
God’s help set them a noble one of speedy
and lasting reformation.
The dav set|apart in the anniversary of
the Woman’s Temperance movement in
our country. And as it falls upon Sunday
the ministers throughout the State are re¬
quested to preach a Gospel temperance
sermon, on the morning of the 23rd of De¬
cember. And the people are requested to
haye temperance mass meetings in the af¬
ternoon or at night, at which collections
shall be taken as a “thank offering to the
cause, and donated to the Woman’s Chris¬
tian Temperance Union, to help them in
their work.
The funds thus collected will be mostly
used in distribution of temperance litera¬
ture, for the purpose of aroilsing and keep¬
ing alive the public interest upon the sub¬
ject. Many good people may be willing
to help us who are opposed to total absti¬
nence and prohibition. We hope they
may help us ; and we ask them most earn¬
estly that if the original blessing of pure
stimulants has been turned by misuse and
adulteration into the most blighting curse
to the human race, and is so recklessly
destroying souls that are so precious in the
world to come as to keep two Kingdoms
Heaven and hell—at constant warfare for
the possession ofjthem,thesis itjnot right to
ask God’s deliverance from such an evil,
and to do ail we can to banish it from our
midst ?
rZ If we are vrong a^d Jn our plan of work may
pardon it * bring it to nothing. If
nght, maj H He mess bless and direct - and pros
iJisncvtothesake5 those whoare opposed to us we claim
our motive and the
expected good. To those who arc .in sym
pathy with us, we ask their prayers and

their encouraging help. And, as the 23d
is a day set apart for this especial purpose,
we hope the efforts will be made in our
behalf througout the entire State.
We earnestly beg that “temperance peo¬
ple” especially will exert themselres to
make arrangements for the occasion.
