How much have we done for our Order since we last meti How much have we done for our cause ln general i Have we been at the meetings of our Divisions as often as possiialo not allowing a paltry excuse in keep us away.i Have we been as faith- ful and forbearing as we could and how much have fwe contributed for the ad- vancement of the temperanoe iight. That seems to be the sorest spot with most of us. We are willing to talk, some people thir.k and not without reason, forever and a day, most of us are willing to do some work,provided we dcn’t lose any- thing by it, but when it comes to actual saoriiloe, when we are called upon to con- ,mm wnsnmly Employ ed looking after . tribute from nur purses, it is wonderful how quickly our enthusiasm cools down and twenty-five cents or even less for real iemperance work suddenly appears to become as big as a mountain and al- most ss hard to move. Lack of money more than anything else hinders the ad- vancement of temperance and Prohibition today and hy far the greatest strength of the rum pow`er lies in its ability to raise any amount of money to accomplish the result it desires. The only thing I admire about a rumsrller is his liherality in giving money for campaign purposes. Judging from the amounts raised by them none of them are afraid to give loo mach or afraid that they will give more than someone else, asso many of us seems to be. Now much of the money raised by the rum trade is undoubtedly used for purposes which no temperaace lan would for a moment think of copying. But though we cannot tight them with their own methods, if we are worthy of the name of _temperanoe men we must combat to the death, the power which those nefarious methods gives them and the only way to do this is to so rouse the conscience of the Christian people of this country that no power cn earth can in- ducathem to tolerate this accused soul~ destroying traffic. To do this we must keep the terrible bllghtlnxz blasting effect of this-Satan`s own business, on all things holy and pure and good, constant- ly before the people. It will never do to let them be sleepy and lukewarm and cold as many are today. How foolish would the smith be who would try to fashion useful machinery out of a piece of cold iron but let him heat it red-hot, and then how obedient it is to his will. He can fashion itjiu whatever way he likes. It is the same way with public opinion.

Isuy when we have accom- plished that and when the people nrc rr-'i hot against it the eternal doom of that hideous monster, the liquor traiile will have been pronounced. Iiow is this to be brought about. It must bu done by agi- tation and education. Both oi these cost money. We cannot expect men to go all around the country and speak for us for nothing, that Is, if they are qualiiied to speak. Oi course we may be able to get ministers to do a little lccai work for us, hut. all of them are too busy to hclp as much, and anyway if we are an organiza- tion worthy ofthe name we should keep a our interests and we cannot expect a good man to work for nothing. He must be wcll paid. In conversation with a noted or- ganizer a few days since, he said, "You temperance people want to get men tor work for you without guaranteeing themi anything. You want mon to go to work for you and take all the risk themselves, while the 2000 members oi your divisions take no risk what ever. Why the society which I represent cannotget organizers though we guarantee them a Road salary. You should send missionaries among your people to learn them better." However at the present it ` seems impossible for us to get an organiz- er as we have no way of paying him, hat if each of our members would do the best he could to advance the cause, the worth and prestige nf our order would double in avery short time. Tire trouble with too many of usis that instead of doinz the very best we can we are doing the very least we can. Perhaps some of you don t believe that.if so just think for a moment how much have you done the past quart- er. One of the most important if not the most important thing before us at this time is the enforcement of the Prohibi- tion Law in Charlottetown. The eiiect of that law is being eagerly watched all over: Canada by friends and foes alike. How much have we done to help it along. Much more money is needed to properly enforce the law than Prosecutor Jenkins receives and where is it to come from if we temporance people do not pay any. It is useless to ask the Government for money; we must help, we must put our hands into our own pockets.
