COMMUNICATION,

NO, VI.
REV. BI,uop lIopKINs. SIR: If | IN
ders,and your fifth OF lection to the Tenn
perancc Society. 1t amounts simply to tins,
'rhc Temperance Society is not preparalo'
~ to a rev,val.n think there never has
been an Individual that has affirmed that
there could ~ no revival wi bout Tenn
pcrauce Society. But think none can
prove that al individual can become CON
vcr,cd to God without frs, becoming TEN,
perale. II YOU say the reverse. then a
man may experience Spri'ual revlva and
continue IN the sin Of drunkenness. This
Is mpos >ble. Then a it is Indispensable
t" revival that men become temperate,
"a the Temperance Society promotes tenn
peroncc, it does most cmphalically prepare
a man for revival and without lhls pre-
paraion he could not experience it.
But let " examine Your proof IlllIr.
You immediately affirm that it Is absurd
10 speak OF n forcrunner of Chris, coming
INTO notice scarcely nine years ago Now
SIR. nobody but yourself ever imagined 1t
30 be forcrunncr of Chrst-bu is there
no difference hc wecn being forerunner
of Christ and a preparation for Spiritual
revival? ii there Is none, then your OBJ
icc'lon, or proof of your objection is valid.
Bul presume that any of the lads a,
your school would Immediately discover q
distinct and pa pnb'e difference. Why
then should you introduce it as forerunner
of Christ? Here is but another specimen
of your ability, or weakness Of your cause.
You object to the sentiment that temper
ance prepares the way for faith. It must
be that faith which brings justification
comes before or after repentance. If it
come before, then an individual may exer-
else faith and be justified, while in q course
Of high rebellion against God, And if he
can be justified while in sin, i. c. rendered
Innocent, he may be kept innocent, and il
he may be kept innocent while in sin, sal
walton is not from sin, but in sin. This is
onlinomanism, or salvation with no saliva
ton. Then if faith bring salvation from
Christ, it must be preceded by repentance.
Temperance necessarily supposes rcpen-
lance from drunkenness, where one has
been guilty of it, and therefore in such
cases temperance is invariably prepare,
ton for faith. lf this doctrine be correct
you affirm, ",he apostles could not have
understood their work." Now sir, mus,
think that you have entirely misunderstood
the apostles. They did most certainly
preach the doctrine of the Temperance
Society. II repentance of this vice be
what we have seen, it must be then ccor

IMPORTANCE OF DESTROYING
WEEDS

The abundance IN which weeds are seen
in some fields shows cOncluslvcly that hn,
Int c of the mischief caused by them is I'M
dcrs'ood Weeds are Injurious to the land
aud 10 the crop, IN almost everv possible
way that they can be. In the first place,
they exhaust the SOIL TO support their own
useless growth. and extract that nonrsh-
ment from it which ought TO GO exclusively
to support the crop. Secondly, they crowd
upon other plants above ground, prevent
them from branching out at their roots, and
deprive them Of a free circulation Of air,
necessary for their health and vigor, so that
they shoot up only single. weak. sick|y
stalks, Incapable of producing valuable
crop. Thrdy. they throw off from the
soil. through their leaves, into the air. an
almost incredible quantity of moisture. and
speedily reduce the ground TO so dry a
state. a to BE- fit for weeds only to grow
in. s. enormou, is the quantity thrown
off by some plants. that it actually exceeds
more than twice their own weight in sin
gle day. 4 bunch of grass. placed during
a very dry season, under n large vessel.
sent off moisture ~ two minutes. so as to
down It's sides. DR.. Watson. who first
performed thls experiment. was led to con-
cludc, from its results, that an acre of grass
exhalcs more than thirty .hoCsheads dav,
Plants are in fact but channels through
which moisture Is conveyed up from the
soil 10 be Grsslpated IN the air; hence the
absurdlly Of tho opinion, that weeds will
prevent the ground becoming dry, by cha-
ding it. Let any one in drv weather exam
inc piece of perfectly bare sol, few
inches below the surface, and compare us
degree Of moisture with that of soil at an
| equal dop'h near tho roots Of ;hick growth
of weeds. and be will find the difference
astonishing.

of weeds? OF what use is 1t TO buy land
