Several con- ferences were held in which the late Bishop Richardson took part, together with Mr. Har- ris, and Mr. (now Dr. ) Ryerson, and the late Rev. John Roaf, then recently arrived from England. The political persecutions of 1837 had removed Mr. Bid well from Canada, but Jesse Ketchum and others heartily joined in the new movement. At these preliminary meetings the battle of the pledges was carried on with some spirit; ultimately, however, the friends in council agreed to adopt the total a...bstinence pledge, alone ; fe and at length a meeting was called, between the fluctua- tions of hope and despondency, and on the 13th of March, 1839, The TORONTO TEMPER- ANCE REFORMATION SOCIETY was organized ; and commenced operations with the small number of sixty-six members; which gradu- ally and steadily increased. " From that time forth, for many years, the Bishop, with his characteristic devotion to serve the Lord in this sphere of usefulness, continued his 175 advocacy of total abstinence, diligently at- tending the Committee meetings and the public meetings of the society in which we held the offices of President or Yice- President.
