SARN BRIDGE. PBESENATION TO MR WM. LESTER.—On Monday last the members of the Good Templar lodge at this place had a tea, and afterwards a public meeting. Mr William Bott presided, and stated the object of the meeting and his pleasure in being present. After an address by Mr Willett, of Tilston, the secretary, Mr W. Burrows, on behalf of the subscribers, read and presented the following address:— To William Lester, Esq., of Bron Offa, Wrexham. Dear Sir and Brother,—The members of the Standfast Lodge, No. 146, of the English Grand Lodge of Wales, of the I.O.G.T., meeting at Sarn Bridge, in the county of Flint, desire to express their unanimous and sincere appreciation of the valuable services rendered by .you in connection with the cause of Temperance in this district. You were one of the pioneers of the movement in this locality, taking an active and prominent part in organising the H Iranian's Green and Threap- wood Temperance Society, which commenced operations on September 29th, 1861, and you also promoted the formation of the above Good Templar lodge, which was instituted May 12th, 1873. At all times we have found you willing to aid us in our work in every possible manner, some- times, as we know, at great personal inconvenience. Our marked success is in a large measure attribut- able to your earnest and able co-operation both by your eloquence on the public platform, and by your sound advice in our more private deliberations. You have delivered 17 addresses and lectures in this, neighbourhood, and. it will be gratifying to you to know that at the meetings you have addressed 122 signatures to the temperance pledge have been taken. ° "In conveying to you our hearty thanks for the help you have rendered in the past, we would express our most earnest hope and prayer that your life may long be spared, and that your labours may continue to be abundantly successful in rescuing our fellow creatures from lives of degra- dation and misery. Signed, on behalf of the above lodge, by "JANE BENNION, W.G.W.C.T. PHILIP NICKSON, W.C.T. "WILLIAM BURROWS, W.S. "SUSANNA BENNION, W.V.T." The address was suitably acknowledged by Mr Lester, who urged the members to be still more earnest in their efforts. The address, he said, he valued as coming from the source it did, the working men of the lodge. The choir sang several pieces of music, and a very enjoyable evening was spent. a
