SERMON.
Delivered to a select Congregation in Illinois
THE DEER LICK.
! NV text is selected from that portion OF the
prairie called the Deer Lick; and my design is,
l. To explain the text.
H. To state and illustrate the doctrine
And,
I'LL. To make practical application
: l. am to explain the text.
A lick is a salt spring, SO called from Inc cir
cumstance that the earth about 1t Is SO imPregna-
ted with saline particles as to be licked by the
DEER the bison and other animals. These "o"'
g abound on the waters of the Kanahwa IN N'g'""'

'"'- them.
Another that these ticks usually have accomm'
- dations neither for man nor beast, both of whlc
- they required to keep by law.
'"o Another is that those who lick there often q,
10y licked themselves.
~ n 2. | am 20 state and illustrate the doctrin
- The doctrine of the text is, with lit,
WV change in the orthography, that the lick Is ses
1t is dear whether we consider its cost OF its co
~ sequences.
ui Look at its cost. He who licks at the rate
IL cents a day, ticks away 43 dollars andSO cen
a. in year (which in twenty years, witho
''o interest, amounts to the round sum of g.
=, dollars! Enough to build comfortable hous
90, buy good farm, or educate son at college,
o'' He who ticks at the rate Of one pint day ,sw;
:, lows 46 gallons in year; and IN ~ years ~
"a, gallons or % ba rres and "a gallons! And this
- one dollars gallon, would purchase 1856 acres
~" Congress land!
To lick SO much must cost time---at least o
Ia hour day--365 hours in year; about one who
anu wear in 20 And who afford to part with
ma .,uci, time, without compensation of some fo
the or FIVE hundred dollars?
But the cost OF licking Is nothing, compaf
with tie consequences.
e. 1t leads to insanity. have seen the amin

gre in one insane hospital, 267 were known to ha
SOC brought on their arrangement in s"'s way.
al 1t leads to crime. Almost all the ceimna'

~ 1t leads to disease and premature death.
