The ters showed that the “drys” of 1805 were fully as earnest in: their efforts to promote sobriety through non-use of liquors as those of the Present generation, and they had the fighting spirit in trying to en- force their rules. The notes tell of early skirmishes of' prohibitionists of that day, who were treated with contempt and scorn by most of their neighbors. Although the letters fail to reveal the total membership of the society, one dated August 18, 1805, showed that three kept their vows, In an early letter Mr. Ely sug- gested that the cooperation of school teachers be sought in the movement, saying: “There would be an end of balls, gambling, tavern-hunting, ete., and the money now wasted in these wicked vanities would be laid out in the purchase of useful books and the time spent in dances would be employed in rending.” “Fared Better” After Pledge Another exhibit is one “to Asa Humphrey—about 25th June 1805,” entitled, “First Book of the Chron: icles of the Aquatics, Chapt. 3ist.” This letter, written in biblical phrascology told of a oo . who, having taken the pledge fared 2 much" better physically, mentally and financially. one Jesse wi to R.

At one point ¢ Character of the Savior was per- mitted a radiant facial expression said to approximate a smile. Used in Church Services | Churchmen of all denominations co-operated in making the pictures, which are intended principally for use in supplementing religious serv- \, tures “would help to revitalize in terest in the church and give Sun- day m cure.” Three films were produced under | a $50,000 endowment given by Mr. Harmon for the Religious Motion Picture Foundation, under auspices | of the Harmon Foundation. | Picture Steps in His Life !
