Curious Docunaent-We present the fol-
lowing as the Constitution oil Temperance
Society In the Sandwich Islands: "A com
pany to put out the drinking of rum. This
IS our thought by which we are alike
l. Not we 10 drink rum for pleasure. 2. Not
we to buy rum for property. 3. Not We TO
make rum. 4. Not we TO give drink of rum
TO relatives, neighbors, strangers, without
the direction, not drinking. S. Not we to
give rum to companion doing work, for
their work."
Total Abstinence-Fromt the minutes Of
the New Jersey Baptist Association held in
Burlington, Sept. 22d and 23d, 1885.
From the light which God has in his
providence, recently thrown upon the sub
]ect Of intenperaRee In the use Of intoxlcat-
ing or alcoholic liquors; and from the gen
eral spirit of the Bible against the lndul-
gence of irregular propensitles, we have be-

of religion, to manufacture, vend or use
such liquors as a common article of luxury
or living; since such practice would be a
manifest violation of the spirit Of the Bible.

same chapter he expressly says, when we
sin so against the brethren we sin against

Wherefore, Resolved, that we recommend
! TO all the Churches in this Association, to
resolve themselves into Temperance Socie-
ties, upon the principle of entire abstine nce
from the use of intoxicating liquors, except
in case Of sudden illness, brethren may
Judge them necessary. And we further rec
ommend most afIectionately and earnestly
that they adopt, without delay, the most ac-
! tive and vigOrOus measures to reclaim any
among them, who manufacture, yend or use
intoxicating liquors as a common article o.
luxury or living, and if any shonld prove in
corrigble, then, in that case, to separate
such from their CON nunion and not to SUITE
sin to rest upon any brother"

toned the fact of his being called to a
