We heard a friend the other day tell the
following incident, which occurred in B
some three or four years ago. \ Methodist
minister had just moved his family into the
place. As he was passing along the street,
very early one morning, he saw II man appa-
rcutly in great distress by the side OF the
way The minister went to him, not dream
ing the man was intoxicated at that hour
and asked him what was the matter. The
man begged the minister to help him up,
which he did when he perceived the strong
smell of liquor on him. it was too late to
retreat. The man claspcd him fast, and the
minister Iiloto1 him some distance along the
street, speaking kindly to him. After some
words Of cXpOstulation more earnest than
usual, the man stopped, looked the minister
in the face, and said, Amt you minister =

" w have been defeated in Kentucky, it is true ;
but opponents have achieved no civic triumph !;
they have barely escaped annhation total dis
ruption, and that by majority meagre that they
have no confidence in the future. But, above all,
they have purchased success at dear price, they
have stained their cause with the highest offences
that can be committed against civil society, that
they feel none of the glow of triumph, and their
elected officials will go into their several places with
a secret consciousness that they not there by
the free, unawed, and voluntary sufrages of free
people. They have got the official places, but they
have barely got the by expressing the conSciences
and binding the judgments of men, and this
through the jngglery of horrd oaths and secret
organization, at war with the fundamental prnci-
pies of constitution and utterly irreconcilable
with our entire republication system This thing
cannot last. They feel il and know it. Instead Of
the fifteen or twenty thousand majority which they
boosted, they have barely escaped with a lean
jority which dwindes down to less than five thou

RELIGIOUS JOURNAL MAINE LAVA
recent number of the Church Journal, of the Eps-
c"paian denomination, contains a strongly written
and pointed article condemnatory of the prohbtory
liquor law and its pri ,cples.-It holds the law to
be neither in accordance with scrptural authority,
nor warranted by past experience, nor consistent
with the dictates of reason. 1t says:
The effect of strict prohibition has been tested
on a large scale by the code Of Mobammed.-Every
body knows with what results. Mohammedan coun-
tries, in spite of their laws on the subiect-aws
enforced in more searching way than is possible
in these United States-are the prey Of drunken
ness, guttony. Incidence, sensuaity, of the most
debaSng sort"
This is experience. As to scriptural authority
the journal tells US:
at is certain that John the Baptist came Meth
eating nor drinking;' whereas our Saviour came
both eating and drinking and Called in con-
sequence, a glutton and a bibber friend of
pubcans and sinners This is enough to show
that he Prohibitionist. H. was not, even in
his practice, advocate of total lbstin ence."
The whole article is worth perusa. 1t may be
deemed happy circumstance that portion Of the
religious press is waking up to the lameatable con-
sequences to the of true temperance of Maine
lawism When the great reform shall have been
wholly prostrated by political foot ball we
may hope to the entire church directing its bat
teries, in Legitimate way, against Incorporate tenn
