of this scheme are. obvious. ‘* Union is 'strength,” and united action can accomplish lwonders. ‘here is no lack of good will jn favor of total abstinence in every section of ithe Island, but there is often a want of ‘means and ability for putting into execu- ‘tion needful resorms. An abundance of raw ‘a vast amount 0? local enorgy is lying dor- jmant. It omy requires a Jivile intelligent action to fit the former for useful eee and to awaken the latter to enthusiasvc

undertakings. This is what the Cevt:al) | Council purposes doing.

Composed, as it 1s, | of gentlemen of ability, who have pledged | themselves to promote the cause for which | they have banded together, it will bind all local societies into a grand whole, and direct their. united forces for the common good. — lt will lend the benefit of its a.sist- ; ance in districts where desived, to stir up the zeal of the people in favor of total ab- stinence ; and it wil supply useful infor- mation to all afliliated Societies. Throuch its instrumentality ocieties far apart wiil learn to know one another, and to sympa- thize each in the work of the other.

This Central Council is to hold two rezu- lar meetings each year, one in July and one in January. These meetings will be held in Charloutetown, and delegates from local societies will atuend the ove to be held in July. It is proposed to make this a solemn and imposing affair. The January meetins will be for the transaction of Council busi- ness, but a public session of the Certral Council will, in all I'kelihood, be held in St. Patrick’s Hall, when speeches will be delivered by its members.

From this it can be cen that the newly- constitute’ Council bids fatr to be an im- portant body, ard one calculated to do much good. Our social customs, in the matter of the use of imtoy‘cating drinks, need areform. This desirable object can be best attained by a vigorous and united exertion. One man may be afraid or as- hamed io break through the usage of offering strong liquors to his guests, but when he knows that he is supported by hundreds and thousands of others he will not hesitate to banish it from his house.

If the members of this Council be earnest in their proposed work, as we have no doubé they will, many families will bless their noble undertaking. A great work is before them, and in it we wigh them all success. The Constitution of the Central Council will be printed in a fewdays. The stage of serious action has been now reached.

Sun Mutual Life and Accident Insurance Co.

Protection in some shape is needed by everybody. The ills and injuries of hie, and the losses by death, weigh heavily on all. The best possible human panacea for such is a Lafe, Endowment, or Accident Policy in a sound Canadian Insurance office, Aike our own SuN Murvat. The public are fast coming to this conclusion, as is evidenc- ed by the following exhibit of that Com- pany 's figures. At the Board mecting for the week ending 21st inst., the amount of Life Applications submitted for approval was $63,000, besides Accident business ; being an increase of $9,01-) over that of the previous week. The entire business of the past 9? months stands thus :—
