FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
Reclaim thu Drunkard.

1t is a thing remarkable and greatly to be lamen-
ted, that, in this day and age of the christian dis
pensation, people, especially those who have their
names associated with the christian church, should
become so forgetful of their duty to themselves,
their country, as well as to their Creator, as to al
low themselves to be led away from the path Of du-
ty and sobriety, by the mighty enemy Of mankind,
King Alcohol. And man, in the nineteenth centu-
ry, when the light of christianity is thrown around
us in so marvellous a manner, there are many, yea,
very many, who are constantly being led astray by
this same enomy and when they are once captured
by him, their destiny is too often forever fixed for
the course Of the Drunkard is progressive-he be-
gins by drinking a social glass with a friend, then
another to revive hi dropping spirits, and before
he is aware of his dangar, he has become confirmed
in his habits. his appetite Graves, demandsit, s1dhe
flies with avidity to those strong holds Of pollution,
where this poison is vended then, farewell to
home and happiness! Inebriatcs are sometimes, ]
am glad to know, often reclaimed from he error o.
their way, but, comparatively, they ere few and fal
/ between: poradyenture not one in fifty, nay, ore in
a hundred that is ever reclaimed in such q way as t
embrace christianity. But it is a duty incumbent
upon the temperate men, and women too, to use
every effort in their power, to put down the traffic
that is now carried on in spirituous liquors. And
this is not n thing impossible, indeed 1t mast be ac
complished. A certain writer has said-"I ariI
Ty, has done wonders and it appears plain tt
me, if every person, male and female, who is de
sirous of seeing the temperance cause prosper
would but tyy, the time would soon come, when thos,
sink-holos Of pollutios would be destroyed, anC
churches would be built upon their ruins.
"Ah Brandy, brandy, bane of life,
Spring of tumult, source Of strife,
Could I half thy curses tell,
The wise would wish thee safe in hell"
