want grace for the fulcrum and knowl-
edge for the lever, and then the results of
its operations will be glorious, two fold
more than in the days of those who pene-
trated this wilderness of sin in Vermont.
But if pride, or love of public applause
have the place Of grace, the results in
part are as mentioned in nv former num-
Der. The evils complained of are not the
natural fruits of Education, but arise from
the abuse of that power which Education
gives. knowledge, unsanctifed, is like
other blessings conferred on man. Wealth,
friends, health. honors, or whatever they
may be, are, in their results injurious GO

EXTRAORDINARY TEMPERANCE MOVE
MENTIN THE CITY OF NEW-YoRK.

Concluded.

OOHCEUHeU.
Thursday Evening the meeting was
held In the Methodist Church in 18Th
street. That immense building was
crowded to excess.
Mr.. Mitchell commenced with a histo-
ry of the Washington Society in Bati-
more. and an exhibition OF lis results
He was confident that on the 5th of April,
there would be an army of Il, 1000 men
IN Baltimore against the traffic, aud he
asked what a procession, proportional,
through Broadway, would do here Let
$4,000 men parade your city under the
Temperance banner, AMI the traffic would
60 down, and yoor alns houses and jaiis
would be almost tenantess We are
charged, said he, with enthusiasm. But
are we here seeking office No! we
are telling cur tale to cur disgrace; but
we hope it is for the salvation of many
and we have created an enthusiasm which
has brought many to our standard. We
! have men IN our ranks who have been 45
years drunkards. The greater drunkard
a man has been the mofe do we feel fol
him. Ii we are able to accomplish such
results, is there man here who has no

they are not, why do they not break OF
at once? If we meet man in Baltimor
who does not join US at once, we ask hin
why he does not join2 There is ever,
reason why he should, ard it is now YER
difficult for him to give reason why b
e does not.
+ Mr.. M. spoke with good deal {
lshrewdness about the hard times. mad
very hard by whisky bills. Men, b

ding, would spend night afler night owe

would soon Go away with.

have such great. homely hands, it is neces-
sary that should wear gold rings to make
them look better. Each individual has
an excuse, and eech Of them SO far go to
crlmlnate their Maker for not having made
them handsomer Blu. there is another
who says-why. really, it is the way l
was brought up-I was always accustom-
ed SO TO dol don't think there is any
harm in it. Thus pleading as an excuse,
thell former practice of sin. Why not
let the habit of the drunkard, the liar, the
swearer, the adulterer, and every other
criminal before God, go as an excuse for
continuance in sin How long will such
palliatlons for sin be offered by christians?
But why is the injunction of the apostle
suffered, year after year, to be piled away
with the things obsolete? The same
apostle hath given US the answer, when
he says-"for men shall be lovers of
pleasure, more than levers of God."-
Where are the faithful heraIds of the
cross, who will rouse up this soul -destroy-
er, who has taken up his abode even in
the house of God, and keep him in agita-
ton until he seek residence in hell, his
native abode!
Again:--Punctuality in attendance
upon the means of grace is becoming OBJ
solete. How lovely and pleasant those
days when they were i" all with one accord
in ore place. How solemn that COM
mand from on high" neglect not the
assembling of yourselves together" -
Visit that Clerk of the church, ard ask
for the names of its members, and on en-
|quiry you find that out of hundred and
fifty, not more than twenty live over five
miles from the place of worship. Attend
that place of worship. Sabbath after Sab
bath, and with your list of their names
you are unable to find more than fifty or
seventy five who are in the habit of pune.
tual attendance.
Another thing becoming obsolete is
discipline. It is to be feared that many
who have standing in the church are sc
far ignorant of what is meant by disci
lpline, that they car give you no informa
ton, only that they have sometimes heard
the deacon or minister say there is some
thing of the kind, as belonging to the
good Of the church. That discipline is
not attended to, is certain.
How long can it be expected that the
! Church can maintain her visibility under
such circumstances How long will the
people, like ancient Israel, cry, "prophesy
not unto US right things; speak unto u:
smooth things Q Lord, give not thy
heritage to reproach, and to be trodder
under foot of pride and love of applause
from sir bound and sin-ruined world!

temperance meeting in their lives; and
there were fierce disputings whether these
things were so. Capt. Wisdom was busy
in the crowd. and very successful in en-
listing members of the Washington Tenn

well calculated to advance the cause of
where it was most needed

Monday afternoon, meeting was held
in the 10th Presbyterian church, 22d ST.,

The whole number of meetings attend

the whole number of pledges taken from
persons who had never before signed the
total abstinence pledge, up to Tuesday
evening, was 1897. A great advance
has been given, it is believed, to the cause
in this city and vicinity by these move
