NEBRASKA H. AND T. ASSOCIATION.

By C. P. Bollman

At the second annual session of the Nebraska Conference held at Seward, Neb., Oct. 2-7, the health and temperance work was made a prominent feature. Eld. Boyd and his co-laborers had been agitating the subject for sometime, and a goodly number of our people had signed the teetotal pledge and were prepared to enter heartily into the work.

On Sunday afternoon Eld. Butler spoke on the subject of Christian temperance, and in a plain and pointed manner set forth its claims upon us as a people, after which pledges were circulated and 118 signed the pledge and paid the initiation fee, quite a number of others becoming pledge members.

Monday afternoon an organization was effected, and permanent officers were chosen. Eld. Geo. B. Starr was elected President, and C. P. Bollman Secretary. Fourteen were reported from the Beaver City camp-meeting, making the total number of full members at the time of organization 132.

Since the organization of the State Association, several local clubs have, we believe, been organized, but no official reports have been received. Secretaries of local clubs are requested to report promptly.

My P. O. address is Albion, Boone Co., Nebraska. C. P. BOLLMAN, Sec.
