Resolutions of Respect and
Condolence.
At a regular meeting of McMinn­
ville Lodge, No. 289, I. O. G. T.,
held Aug. 4, 1882, the following
preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted :
Whereas, It has pleased the
Great Architectrofi the universe to
remove from ourmidst, our honored
Bro. Geo. W. Bartley : and
Whereas, it is but just that a
fitting recognition of his many vir­
tues should be had ; therefore be it
Resolved, by McMinnville Lodge
No. 289 that while we bow with
humble submission to the will ol
the Most High, we do not the less
mourn for our brother who has been
taken from us.
Resolved, that in the* death of
Geo. W. Birtley, this Lodge laments
the loss of a brother, who was ever
ready to proffer the hand of aid,
and the voice of sympathy to the
needy and distressed of the frater­
nity ; an active member of this so­
ciety, whose endeavors were extend­
ed for its welfare and prosperity ;
a fr iend and companion who was
dear to us all ; a citizen whose up­
right and noble life was a standard
of emulation to his fellows.
Resolved, that the heartfelt sym­
pathy of this Lodge be extended to
Trifling With Danger.
I was sitting at the table of. an
Irish merchant in Sligo a few years
ago. He had eight beautiful chib
dren. He had his wines aud brandy
on the table, and of course asked
me to drink, and I had to give my
reasons f6r declining. This gave
me an opportunity to put in a little
temperance, and while I was mak­
ing my little speech by the way ol
apology, I made this retnai k : “ I
would like to see the man who
or friend of mine ever fell through
intemperance.’” I saw that this
struck him ; his knife and foi k fell
from his grasp, and he remained si-
lent for some seconds..,

but he, too, yielded to the habit of

Temperance.
The full moral significance of the
temperance conflict is gradually re­
vealing itself. The connection be­
tween drunkenness and falsehood
is thus set forth by Dr. B. W.
Richardson, of London—confessedly
at the head of the’medical pro­
fession in the Old -World: “I am
President of a society called ‘ The
Medical Temperance Association.’

The Sailor’s Story.
I’ve been fourteen years a sailor,
ami I’ve found in all parts of the
world 1 could get along just as well
without alcoholic liquors, as with
them, and better too.
Some years ago, when we lay in
Jamaica, several of us were sick
with the fever, and among the rest,
the second mate. The doctor had
given him brandy to keep him up,
but I thought it was a queer kind
of “ keeping up.” Why, you see, it
stands to reason, that if you heap
fuel on the tire, it will burn the fas­
ter, and putting the brandy to a
fever is just the same kind of a
thing. Brandy is more than half
alcohol, you know.
- Well, the doctor gave him up,
and 1 was 831 to watch with him.
No medicine was left, fir it was of
no use. Nothing would help him,
ami I had my directions what to do
with the body when lie was dead.
Towards midnight he asked for
water. I got him the coolest 1
could find, and gave him all he
wanted, and if you’ll believe me, in
less than three hours he drank three
gallons.
rl'he sweat rolled off from him
like rain. Then he sank off and I
thought sure he was gone; but lie
was sleeping, and as quietly as a
child. In the morning, when the
doctor came, he asked what time
