a beverage for the purpose, of Intoxicating
effects how fatal is its total destruction of
soul and body. Thus truly does God punish
the abuse Of his good and perfect gifts to
man. Food was designed to keep our
bodies in health and vigor, and thereby enable
our moral and intellectual nature to attain
that glorious perfection which is well pleas
ing in the sight of our great Creator, and so
essential to our present and future happiness
How shockingly have mankind done violence
to the designs of Heaven in this particular
instance. Excess and gluttony on every
side 60 hand in hand, with every other vice,
entailing pain, disease, misery and intclec-
tual and moral degeneracy upon men. In
short--wherever we turn we shall find that
our caamateis most generally spring from
an abuse of the blessings bestowed upon us
by the Supreme. We are ever turning aside
from the true paths,--seeking forbidden
Plcosures--perverting the choicest bes,ow
ment of Heaven, and by consequence WI
incur all the heavy penalties which fall will
fatal certainty upon every transgrcsson.
A SISTER or THE SOCIAL DEGREE.
The Belmont chronicle, and farmers, mechanics and manufacturers advocate. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1848-1855, 1854-01-20
THE SOCIAL DEGREE.

The subject cf Intemperancc has 80 long
been the theme of public and private discus.
sion, So many eloquent appeals have been ad-
dressed to us from the sacred desk, and
through the medium Of the press, that any
thing from the pen of one little accustomed
to writing will doubtless possess little to in
terest. And although every thing has been
said that the wise and foolish can think up-
on the subject yet us no familiarity can re-
concile us to the endurance of intcmperancc
go no repetition can lessen our zeal against
the evil.
Man was invested with sovereignty over
the earth and its productions, and lurgc was
the charter of our great Creator, fuse the
world so as not to abuse it," within this rule
are comprized all our rights and privileges.
Every, attempt TO go beyond it is rebellion,
intemperance, sin vice and transgresson.-
Within this rule we have free right to roam
at will, but if we step beyond il we embark
upon treacherous ocean, the sport of storms
and tempests. What then is the abuse of n
divine benefuction! For on the proper set
tlemcnt Of this question depend all clear
ideas Of temperance, and intcmperancc.--
Every thing is abused, first, when used for
purposes never designed by the giyer, and
second when used in quantities immodera,e
and excessive. The propriety of this ex-
position will be admitted by all: how then are
we to determine whether any gilof the Deity
is misapplied or used in quantities immod-
crate and excessive! In most cases our own
reason and experience in connection with
the light that science affords us, will be suf-
hclent guides to our Judgment, and enable us
TO aysid the shoals and quicksands OF vice a.
intemperance. To illustrate, we know that
opium properly used is a medicinal agent
OF great power, and was no doubt intended
by the Creator to be employed in such ex-
clusyey, but it has bsen diverted from its
original design, and is now used daily as II
pleasurable stimulunt throughout Asia, from
S,apbou to Hong Kong. The same remarks
will apply to that loathsome weed, Tobacco;
ii 10 the most powerful emetic known, 40
powerful indeed that 1t is rarely used as n
medicine. And yet this tremendous drug
only employed as remedy in the last resort
ID introduced every where In the forms of
Plug. Snuff, Cigars &c, as delicious
stimulant to the destruction OF the public
health and morals. So with Alcohol, the
various. lamentations which produce it are
natural processes. The spontaneous resul,
Of natural causes, but it has been perverted
to improper uses by the depravity of man
