ADDRESS 



TO THE REV. D. V. LUCAS, M.A., OF CANADA. 



Dear Sir, 



The Committee of the Victorian Alliance, together 

 with the members and friends of this and kindred 

 associations, upon the occasion of your departure from 

 their midst, at the close of your mission in Victoria in 

 furtherance of the cause of Local Option, desire to 

 assure you of their gratification at your visit, to testify 

 to the good accomplished thereby, and to express their 

 sincere wishes for your future welfare. 



In the course of your work throughout the colony you 

 have won the esteem and admiration of those with 

 whom you have been brought in contact, and mimerous 

 testimonies have been received as to the good accom- 

 plished by your labors in helping to bring the Local 

 Option question to a successful issue. 



It is desired to include in this tribute of respect and 

 admiration your partner in life, who has ably seconded 

 your efforts by her work for Temperance amongst the 

 women of Victoria. 



Should you be enabled to return to this colony, you 

 may rest assured that you would receive a hearty
