OHIO H. AND T. SOCIETY.

By Dudley Marvin Canright; Wm. Beebe

This society held a convention at Clyde, Ohio, Dec. 21, 1879. The meeting was called to order by the President, who spoke of the importance of the temperance work, and of its claims upon us as a people, presenting reasons why we should all sign the teetotal pledge. The pledge was then circulated, and fifty-four signers were obtained.

At the second meeting it was voted that we proceed to organize a health and temperance club. D. M. Canright was chosen chairman, and H. A. St. John secretary pro tem. The local Constitution was read and adopted. W. J. Stone was elected leader, and W. D. Sharp secretary. The State Secretary then addressed the club, urging the members to be active and faithful and to try to increase their number to one hundred during the coming year. If the Clyde club take hold of the temperance work in earnest, it bids fair to be the strongest one in the State. May the Lord bless the H. and T. workers.

D. M. CANRIGHT, Pres.

Wm. Beebe, Sec.
