of the first part of this volume, we have described at length, and from personal observation, the way in which these temperance prayer-meetings are generally conducted, and the means used for lifting up and saving the poor drunkard.
What are known as "Reform Clubs," have grown out of the efforts made of these praying women, to hold in safety the men whom they have been able to rescue.

These clubs are numerous in New England and the Western States, and have a large membership, which is composed exclusively of reformed men.

The common platform upon which they all stand is: 1.

Total abstinence.2.Reliance upon God's help in all things.3.

Missionary work to induce others to sign the pledge.
