reiail,-let him inquire whether he can be
a participant in, and cause of such scenes,
and yet be free from guilt. Let him inquire

hogsheads Of whiskey, or rum, or brandy,

ther he can lie down on his pillow, at night,
with a calm and tranquil mind, when lie
thinks on the miserable and wretched be-
ings whom he has been helping to destroy,
some of whom have passed into eternity un-
der the influence Of liquors provided for them
within his door. Let him ponder we'll such
passages Of the word Of God as these, and
