Since the State Council met in De
cember last, about ten months ago, the
Orcler has been increased to the nnra
beir of seventeen new Councils, nearly
all of which areactive, working Coun
cils, andare doing good in their locali
ties. The , general condition of, the
'WOTk is encouraging and we have much
for which to be grateful, as workers in
, a benevolent cause.
"j Some fw Councils have censed to
work and have surrendered their cha- -
Xerbut in two or three instance ..oth
ers have been organized in -'the. same
communities and are working well.
One of the most hopeful sign of the
times is, that .many prominent men

working with us and giving the
weight of their influence to our good
caue. May we continue to prosper, as

It would be Tin easy matter to ban
ish vice from any community, if the in
fluential men would jbiit determine" to
do it. :Th ir combinedinfluence could
not be withstood. '
In every community there are thoso
oriUwifcciTumcnt -those who give
caste and tone-those who govern the
masses. . .Their words and their ac
tions are imitated and ' wbetfier" the)
intend it or not, these men of influence
are almost a- ways' barriers in the wav
of thej church and to ' good . moral s.-
Very je w rich men are pious men. The
great majority are wicked. i? A few on
ly are even professors of Christianity .
The great majority make no preten
sions to godlinoss, but are open scof
fers. Of the few rich men who are
church communicants, .hardly,onetenth
give'any evidences'cf real godliness.
"They are worldly christians. They
pay well, it may be, but do very little
praying'. They make broad their phy
lacteries, but do a poor business at vi
tal, heartfelt godliness.' They give lib
erally when it. is to be seen of men, but
do very little that is charitable in a smal
way, when only the eye of God and
poor suffering humanity, in the shape of
a poor beggar, are the witnesse. They
attend church on great occasions, and
not unfreqiicntly manage to make
themselves conspicuous on account of
their munificent contributions.
But, unfortunately for the cause of
virtue and genuine' godliness.' tlicse
same men are equally at home in a
gambling saloon, at a horse race, acock
fight, at the card table or in a grog
chop. Their religion is of 'that' demo
cratic character which allows very
broad latitude and longitude; and, be
cause they are rich, and pay the minis
ters well, many very charitable allowan
ces .are made them. The consequence
is, they areleading the church astray
by substituting for godliness their own
self-righteousness.
But, we did not set out to write a re
ligions article; 'uir purpose was, simply
to call attention to the fact,' that the in
fluential men of the land are not only
very poor specimens of christians ; but,
hat they manifest very little concern
or .norajity even.'."'-- '-.
It is conceded by all honest. men that
inteniperaneeis the great evilthnthads
o almost all other evils that if it could
e banished from the world, more than
lialf of the crimes and miseries and sins
of the world would be forever effaced
from the earth; that intemperance is
the parent of murder, arson, suicide,
rape, war, as well hs of all the dissen
si-ns in church and State, and the'mise-
ri-'S which come to the family circle;
yer, strange, to tell, the influential men
of the v;orld taking the world oVer
are giving the weight of their influence
to drunkenness.
It is a sad fact, and one' that should
arouse philanthropists to renewed en
ergy.

of preaching .virtue and practicing ..in fi
delity, they would both preach and
nractic good will to all men. '
To narrow the matter down, -we
make thi assertion: 4ThVrejire, in the
city ot ltaleigh, fifty gentlemen, whom
we might name, wno control me senii
mcnt of the city. Were lhy really,
earnestly and actively -working chris
tians, the dvvil would bo forced to evac
uate the city, carrying with him all . of
his devices and cnginries of death
And if these same fifty men, many of
whomj arc church member., would but
keepOUt of grog shops and array them
selves against intemperance, p reforma
tion that vvou'd banish all, or nearly all
the crimes and miserios of this little
Sodom, would be thehappy consequence
The same may le said of almost all
ither comtn unities ; the influence , of a
few persons controls public sentiment.
Ah, 'what an awful responsibility !
But flie Scriptures teach: " where much
is ifiven much will be required." If
our influence be great, heavy will be
the punishment if we fail to exert that
influence for good.
Would that we could make men feel
and realize this great truth ere it is too
late.

" Let a man examine himself" is,the.
oivme injunction, and we here repeat
it fi)r the benefit of every reader whose
eye may fall upon it. . : t
"Go, woikin my vineyard" -is the
command the Master gave. Go, feed
the hungry, clothe the naked, Visit the
sick and comfurt the distressed. Go,
minister to" the wants of suffering hu-rhanity--go,
"bind up the broken heart
go, raise the fallen go, minister to
the necessities of the poor go, bind
up the wounds of the man who hath
fallen among thieves go, do unto oth
ers as te would they should do unto
you, and at the Master's coming ' you
shall receive the reward of well doing.
I low many are faithfully obeying the
Master's commands? How many are
iving up to the requirements of duty
and of privilege ? How many are
there in this world who are clearing
heir skirts of the blood of their fellow s?
"Let a man examine himself !" Es
pecially, let christian men examine
themselves, and see, for themselves,
whether they ate blameless before God.
They are the "light of the world"
"the salt of 'the earth." By them and
through them the world is to be brought

From the State Lecturer of Va.

Deau Bro. WnrrAKER: As the
canse of temperance still progresses in
Virginia, and no one else has given
your, readers any account of the work, I
will dot down some items of interest of
my trips the last two or three weeks.-

some fifty members, including many of
the most prominent citizens and I rjear
the number h?.S increased to about sev
enty AtlTalifai C. UXK rnost inter
esting meeting was held for two nights
in the Baptist Church. Cold Water
Council, No. 96 (I believe) was formed,
with Re v. ? Bro. TyreeV President and
Rev. Bro. Gilmer Chaplain, ; and some
fifty of the first ladies and gentlemen of
the place.: as members, j .Mnch - good
may be fully counted on to Tesnlt from
that Council. '"Danville was visited, nd
Danville Council, No. 31 re-organized,
with 42" members.. Rev. Dr. "Darnel
President, and other good and true men
received also. ,
Campbell county was next visited,
and two large and prosperous Councils
organized. Rustburg Council, No. 98,
at the Court House, withe Gl members,
Dr. Clark President, Rev. Bro. Spriggs
Chaplain, and Col. John D. Alexander
Ex-President and L.Y. P. It' was a
mbst glorious success, and many re
joice at it to see fathers, sons, moth
ers and daughters all coming up and
enrolling their names in. the cold water
army, was a sight to make all good men
rejoice and take courage. At Concord,
a jvillage on S. Side Railroad, 12 miles
south of Lynchburg in the same coun
ty, a Council was instituted with 73
members at 'the start. Rev Brother
Gibbs' son Chailes was elected Presi
dent, his father Chaplain, and a rnm-
pr of other good men and ladies went
into the Council. The wives and dangh-
1 - - . - - , - , -
ters of two rtim-sellers joined, and it is
6 be hoped the fathers will follow
leir example.
The Lecturer visited White Hall and
Earlysville in Albermarle county, on
he 16th and ljth of Sept., and had
wo most joyous meetings. White
help them to a : good Etart, a second j
visit was made, and I rejoice to be able
to say wi th marked success, 40 add i
tional members, 1 3 active, balance asso
ciates. SoiLonisa Council now num
bers over 50 members, and the young
men of the Conncil seemed to be great
ly cheered and encouraged. Rev. Bro.
A. C. Bledsoe was present and gave
valuable aid in the good work.

is to be crushed out and virtue estab
lished in their stead. In this great
work indhidual effortis necessary. It
will not suffice that some men in eveiy
eommniiitv are faithful while others are
slothful. There is a work for each
man a v ork for all.
And it will not suffice, Hhat a man
warreth "against one vice while he al
loweth another,' even more ruinous, to
or unchecked. All sins are offensive
to God. The sin of intemperance will
as surely damn a soul as the sin of adul
tery- or that of murder.
There, are many men who make long
prayers fir the spread of the. Gospel
for the pulling down of the strong-hold
of the wicked one for the banishment
of vice in all its forms and for the cs
tablishment of an universal reign of
peace, who, notwithstanding,, are un
willing to give up their glass of ; twine,
even tor thosake of saving a poor drunk
ard, or of preventing a boy.." from be-
coming one
It would be well, indeed, for such
men to examine themselves. ,
And there are many nersons, who
are not christians : nor even church
members, whom a little, prayerful and
careful self-examination would, or
might benefit wonderfully. For in

" Tli ere are others good, fathers,

And. nirain. there are persons who!

Dear Bro. "Wiiitakeii: A letter
from yon to brother J. II. Fleming,
bearing date of Sept. 11th, in regard to j
our charter, has been handed over to i
me to be answered.,,. The. charter has
been received.' In regard to the woik-.
ins of onr Council, vn can inform the
brethren generally, through the col
umns of your cherished paper, that we
are doing well. We have some breth
ren who were old Sons of Temperance
years ago, and are now Friends indeed,
and in truth- men who are determined
to work for the cause as long as there
remains a fallen son ot Adam to restore;
as long as there remains a single drunk
ard's hell within the reach of theypung
men of our vicinitv. We have lately
initiated men who have for years, been
accustomed o drink ardent spirits to
excess, and on this account, exerted a
bad influence on the .rising generation,
but . who are now, we trns fully
aroused to a sense of their duty in the
great temperance ret(rm. and fother
younger men of intemperate- habit.
The Order is gradually growing in
popular favor; and we trut it may be
come more and more s till this :may
be a people specially noted for the pro
pagation of the principles 1 of Faith,
Temperance and Charity. Hope to be
able to write you more before very long.
