# 17 - TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES, 1879 - BAND OF HOPE Amongst the early settlers were some who were aware of the dangers and temptations of strong drink, and, resolving to combat by their example and influence that great evil, they formed a Band of Hope Society. The chief promoter to this wise movement was Mr Wm Read of Gruyere, ably assisted by his sons and neighbors, their object being to teach the rising generation the principles of total abstinence. In the year 1879 the Rev John Barningham, the stationed Methodist minister, arrived in the district, and with Mr Walter Liddy as secretary, rendered much assistance in reviving the movement
