OF We are happy to inform our rca-
ders that the Supreme Court has decided
ss much OF the Liquor Law as forbids
granting license In those townships
which vote "no license" unconstitu-
tional. This is as every sensible man
knew il would be. II is as the legisla-
tire intended II should be. The yeriest
ninny among them knew that they could
not make an act erimina. In one town
ship that would not be in another, and
they intended to pass Just what the law
now Is, a universal license lao. We adj
INIT that some votsd for the law under the
impression that II was better than the
old law. And Il is better. In an impor-
tant particular. The state does not
cell, for so much gold, the right to MUIR
der. Licenses are gratuitous. Murder
Il cheap.
Do you ask why we are Glad OF this
decisioni We answer first, because
the experiment Of the past eight months
has shown that Us much liquor Is sold
where license Is not granted as where II
II. except. perhaps. In very few instnn.
ees. An efficient prosecutor may re-
strain them, but we will never get such
prosecutors while we allow set Of
coffee house loafcrs 10 do the nominating
and we vote for the nominee, irrcspec-
tive ofqualIdcatIons, While we select
men for Prosecutors who cannot get
business otherwise, aud who, conscious
OF their inability 10 prosecute, viii, for
reconsideration from the indicted, non
pros. all informations but one or two, we
may expect that offenders will 90 UNI
punished. But we are glad also because
nov there is not the shadow Of law
behind which any temperance man con
hide himself. The balderdash about
giving bond. and being responsible for
damages isj just nothing. In Brookyille
female went, few weeks ago, aud
with tears besought the liquor sellers
not to sell to her drunken husband, but
all In vain. Eminent counsel has been
employed In several cases, to recover
damages, but as yet none has been re-
covered. None can be. under this law,
unless by a combination OF favorable cir
sumstances that will not occur one time
In thousand.
Now gentlemen give your bond and do
your prettiest. Revelation tells us that
the Devil is to be let loose, for little
season. just before the millennium, you
are loose now, but as sure as there il a
God that hears prayer your time is short.

BAPTISM.

JESUS, master, kind Redeemer,
Friend of sinners, strong TO save,
Thou vast once in Jordan's river,
Plunged beneath the flowing wave;
Thy example,
Lord of life, we now pursue.
Rising from the yielding water,
Oil thou mighty God of love,
From the opening heaven descended
On thy head the peaceful Dove,
While the Father
Owned, well pleased, his equal Son.
Come all you that love the Savior,
Come and own his gracious name,
You who trust in JESUS merits,
Follow him into the stream;
BE baptised
In obedience to your Lord.
King of sainte and Lord of Angelo,
While we view thy matchless grace,
Suffering, bleeding, grooming, dying,
For our lost and ruined race,
Can we ever
Be ashamed to follow thee?

OH what love to guilty rebels,
Has the great Redeemer shown:
He, to purchase life for sinners,
Freely did resign his own
Hallelujahl
Glory to the Lamb once Slain.
Christ the Captain of Salvation,
Dying, conquered hell and sin,
Rising from the grave, victorious,
He assembled Heaven again,
Where he ever
Lives to intereede for us.
Help us, Lord, on earth to praise thee
Fill our hearts with JOY and love,
Till in nobler, sweeter anthems,
We begin thy praise above.
