ILLINOIS HEALTH AND TEMPERANCE ASSOCIATION.

By Wm. T. Hibben; Ida W. Ballenger

Three sessions of this Association were held in connection with the State meeting which convened at Ridott, Jan. 21, 1885. We will not attempt to report in full, but for the benefit of those who were not in attendance we present the resolutions as passed, hoping all will read them carefully, and then give us their hearty co-operation in carrying them out.
Resolved, That we hail with joy the revival of the health and temperance work among our people.
Resolved, That we express it as the sense of this meeting that it is the duty of our ministers, wherever they may labor, and especially among our churches, to set forth the importance of the health reform.
Resolved, That we recommend to our brethren in the ministry to carefully examine Bible-reading No. 14, in the “Gazette,” and bring the subject matter before the congregations where they may labor.
It was also moved and carried unanimously that we believe it to be the duty of every family in our State to provide themselves with Good Health.
This meeting, as expressed by many, was one of the most interesting of the kind ever held in the State. We believe the Spirit of the Lord was with us, impressing upon our minds the importance of this branch of the message. WM. T. HIBBEN, Pres. IDA W. BALLENGER, Sec.
