uugmgirom me tacesi of these
officers (as 'the face is a good in-
dex of character' ) I think that
Leitch Council wiU be in better
working order than ever before,
if, indeed it could be better. Dr.
Leitch its founder and guardian,
has trained it well. Long .may
its banner float in the pure
breeze of heaven. Business be
ing over, the Council tocfc a re
cess in order to partake of an el
egant supper which had been
prepared by the good sisters to
be served in the hall. We all
did ample justice to this part you
may be sure, especially the Doc
tor and myself. These ladies
know how to provide for the
wants of the " inner man.' They
certainly can't be beaten in get
ting up a good supper. ;
Supper having been eaten, the
Council was called to order by
the President, when remarks for
the good of ,the order were called
for. Brothers Briley, Leitch,
Black and myself responded. Af
ter which the Council adjourned
well pleased and encouraged.
Saturday we returned to Col
lierstown and stopped with Dr.
Leitch jand his estimable family,
to await the hour of meeting of 1
the Council To attempt to de
scribe the reception given us
there would simply be impossi
ble. We soon discovered that
fair and busy hands had been
at work in decorating the hall in
evergreens, which showed taste,
skill and intelligence. Immedi
ately in front of the President's
stand there was a bow or arch,
made of evergreen from which
was suspended in rich profusion,
a collection of gifts provided for
the occasion by the Friends for
distribution..'' This bow or arch,
was illuminated by wax tapers
which; added much to its beauty,
The bow being an emblem of
promise, as the arch is of strength
it seemed to me suggestive in
deed and very appropriate. Id
rear of the President there was
stretched a white flag with the
! golden text inscribed in large let
ters of evergreen .'Ptace on earth
good will to men;" So suggestive
of the great work to be accom
plished by those who are engaged
in a ceasiess labor at love wno
are trying to restovo peace and
love, in tlie home of the drunk
ard. This eouucil has' been in
operation for thirteen years',, an
arch in Rockbridge. Everything
seemed (to work well. I was par
ticularly struck .with this feature,
that the officers with one or two
exceptions, were all young men,
some in fact mere" boys, but they
are drilled and perform their du
ties with the deliberation of old
t
soldiers. You ask why do not
all the old men fill these offices ?
Because they have "dpne their
work, and nqw they can set down
and rest. They set the example
and their children follow it.
I herewith send you the names
of the officers for the ensuing
quarter. They will do to 'count
on. a : i . ' ;

The remaining business was
now finished when the writer
made some remarks for the good
of the Order which were listened
to with marked attention. At the
close of these remarks the Coun
cil repaired to the basement
room of the hall where' they
found a splendid supper in wait-
: ing which had been prepared by
tne laaies; 01 course every body
did ample justice to this part of
the occasion. These ladies are
proud of their council and well
may they be. Would to God
there were more like this one:
! more true laborers, for the field
is white to the harvest and the
laborers are few. I pray that the
Lord of Sabbaoth, may send
' more laborers into the field.

I hope dear Editor, that you
will not attribute my long silence
in your cohimns to any lack of
devotion to our glorious cause.
We are quite as hopeful and as
determined as ever before. We
are assured that the temperance
interest is still increasing in our
midst. Though this is tha drink
ing time of the year, very few
have shown any inclination to
drink. As a promotive to this
temperance interest, under the
m auage m en t o f our Cou ncil , and
for a Christmas past-time, we
prepared for a Tableau which
was acted last night by the club.

man if he drinks,' and the other

We were favored with a crowd
ed house, and were pleased to
hear the plays gave perfect sat
isf action. Indeed it was quite a
success for us, and we feel that
though we made no charge, we
are and shall be fully repaid for
all of our trouble and expense
feeling assured as we do that the
educated sentiment of last nig
will never be fully lost to the
temperance cause
Now as I am writing this little
communication if you can allow
space, I will give a short account
of our Sabbath school Christmas
tree, which, on Christmas eve,
was so beautifully arranged with
j so many little presents and luxu
ries for the children, which the
bright eyed little creatures en
joyed seeing taken off. It was
also very largely attended arid
gave very general satisfaction. It
was indeed a festive occasion
both for children and grown peo
ple, many of them . getting pres
ents theiefrom; but, lest I shall
be claiming too much space of
your valuable columns, I shall
have to dose with the promise
that you shall hear fiom me of
tener in the future.
