church members and intemperance. 



I have been interested in your articles on in- 

 temperance. I have fought intemperance in all its 

 forms from boyhood, and expect to fight it the re- 

 mainder of my days. I belong to no church; but 

 reading your articles has often brought tears to 

 my eyes when I think of the church-members who 

 uphold intemperance.
