Another proposes three great correc-
tiyes, thus: adF
1st. "Abolish private baptism" a
Cd. "Abolish drinking at funerals. y
Sd. "Reduce the number of public
houses" S#a a3a H2lI9a
Another adds three more: 2
lst. "The character of those who
keep public houses should be better
inquired into" b
cd. ."The sum paid for license must
be raised" ias gsl
Sd. "The houses should be shut on
the L0TG'S dGy.
Several report that "no licenses
should be granted without a certificate
from the minister" Of good character.
| "a good mans liquor, we suppose,
would not hurt anybody
A very modest clergyman ventures
to suggest, Ifministers can be of use
in the present state of matters, it is
only, in my opinion, by relinquishihg
the use Of spirits themselves" (Rath-
er hard prescription, we fear, to be
adopted.) .Ma
Another expresses this very sage
opinion, "After warning the intemper-
ate, the best way is to leave them to
Providence"
We have not given one half the
prescriptions which have been laid
before the General Assembly by the
clergy. Although our article is al
ready too long, we cannot forhear
adding two or three more clerical
specifics. We think comment unne-
cessary. IS naf. h#i 20
"I am of opinion, that were plain,
wholesome beer within the reach Of
Iaborers, there would be less danger"
says one.
"I would recommend high priced
liquors and ZOaO sOages," says another.
In view of the vice among the
emale members of the church, a min
ister says, II could wish we had the
ancient order of deaconesses revived,
to deal with the erring of their own
SEX"
Some of the old sOakers we suspect)
are in high dudgeon about the inqui-
ries Of the General Assembly on this
particular subject.
One, rather pettishly says, "I do
not see why the General Assembly
should suggest any measure for the
suppression of intemperance, rather
than for the prevention Of swearing or
living, which are common less or more
in all parishes" M
Another pious Father, in the bitter
ness of bis spirit, says "All tetOtalism
societies are a grief Of heart to me,
as presumptiously implying dsfciem-
cy in the ordinances Of the Lords ap-
pointment, and as presumptiously i'm
H plying an ability by human dsvices to
supply the supp, sed defect" 9
