passage in Revelation, saw great

expected from the established reputation of
the preacher he was at times very elo-

whole discourse. solemn, interesting, and
impressive. doubt not that lasting i'm
pressions were made on many minds and
that when they stand in judgment before
the awful tribunal Of heaven, they will
bear this sermon strongly in their memo

land Of his nativity. to pay the last tribute

he expressed it in his sermon, ito drop

the guilt, and while this should be the
main mode Of attack on these practices.
still we believe motives of interest may
with propriety be urged for their discon-
tinuance.
ResolUed, That a years experience and
observation serves to confirm the opinion
ofthis society. that the protested friends OF
temperance throughout the world are I'M
der obligation to act on all occasions for
the promotion OF temperance Principles,-
and that Legislative bodies ought never,
under any circumstances, 10 sanction the
commission Of the acknowledged sin of Ii
censing the sale Of intoxicating drinks.
On the first resolution, an extended
view was taken Of the temperance field
both in this, and 10 foreign countries !;
showing what had been done. and what
still remains to be done. On the second
and last resolution, in relation 10 the ac-
ton Of legislative bodies, in giving their
sanction to an acknowledged evil, and to
the commission of whatisadmi,tedto be NOR
ally wrongly licensing The sale ofintoxicat-
ing drinks-an animated discussion arose,
which ended in their final adoption with
but one or two dissenting voices.
The society then adjourned to, such time
as the Executive Committee should see
fit to call another meeting.
