VERMONT H. AND T. MEETING.

By L. Bean; Frank S. Porter

A STATE meeting of the Vermont Health and Temperance Society was held at Lower Cabot, Vt., Monday P. M., Jan 26, 1880, in connection with other meetings. The President being absent, Eld. L. Bean was appointed Chairman pro tem.
Interesting remarks were made by Eld. A. S. Hutchins relative to the temperance work in Vermont, and the influence one has upon another in signing the pledge. Remarks were also made by several of the brethren present. The Constitution for local clubs was read by the Secretary. Seven signed the teetotal and one the anti-whisky pledge; six of these became full members, making the entire membership for Vermont 172.
The following resolutions were then read:—
Whereas, The subject of health and temperance is one of great importance, and organizations are springing up all over the land for the benefit of this cause, therefore
1. Resolved, That, as far as practicable, all members of the Vermont H. and T. Society organize themselves into local clubs.
2. Resolved, That all secretaries of such clubs should at once correspond with the State Secretary, Frank S. Porter, North Fayston, Vt.
3. Resolved, That since it is time for the payment of the annual dues of H. and T. members, we recommend that all secretaries of local clubs see that they are paid.
4. Resolved, That since the State Society is entirely dependent on some portion of the annual dues, and a necessarily large expense for postage on certificates, stationery, etc., must be incurred by the society, we recommend that where local clubs are organized, the Secretary send one-half their dues to the State Society; and where members are not organized into clubs, they are requested to send their dues to the State Secretary.
These resolutions were acted upon separately, and adopted.
Adjourned sine die.
L. BEAN, Chairman pro tem.
FRANK S. PORTER, Sec.
