to reflect, that while but a few years ago 1t was
almost a universal custom 10 desecrate the day
of the birth of our Saviour BY drinking liquor,
that now it has got 10 be quite common to
have temperance meetings on that day, and Tor
friends Of sobriety and christianity to renew
their pledge to drink no more of the water OF
death, and to persuade their %neighbors from
belonging to that class which the Bible says
" shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven
That while but a few years back, both parson
and people would indulge in drinking their
stew and toddv,' that now good people eve
