THE H. AND T. CAUSE IN WISCONSIN.

By G. C. Tenney

UNTIL within the past few weeks, but little had been done in behalf of the temperance cause in our State since the camp-meeting at Madison. The work is now going forward, and our State Secretary’s book shows a membership of three hundred and fifty. This, we confidently hope, is by no means a final result, but the commencement of a complete and successful effort in behalf of this enterprise.

We wish to enlist the sympathy and active co-operation of all our people in this cause. The following suggestions may aid those who wish to engage in this work more or less extensively.

Sign the teetotal pledge, and thus take a position from which you can exert the strongest influence.
Provide yourselves with a liberal supply of Annuals, for circulation among those you hope to influence.
Labor to extend the circulation of Good Health, which is a true friend and advocate of the principles we wish to teach.
By reading, and by availing yourself of all other means of information, obtain correct and rational ideas of the health and temperance reform, which you can impart to others.
Procure blank pledges and papers from the State Secretary, and labor to induce all to reach as high a standard of temperance as possible.
Be sure to report every name obtained, with address, and whether full or pledge members, to the State Secretary.

We especially urge our ministers, T. and M. directors, church elders, and leading brethren, to engage in this work at once. Let local clubs be formed wherever regular meetings can be maintained. Such organizations should be reported at once, and proper books obtained from the Secretary, Mrs. Mary F. Stillman, Madison, Wis.
