Moral suasion.

In another article to-day, we r~eiterate SEN
timents in favor of Prohibition, Otter before
expressed in the age" 1--WE take no stem
backward" We ever expect to be in favor
Of a law that shall guard the personal rights
Of the citizen, and Mt the same time put a stop
to that bane &C all virtue and all good. the
traffic in liquor as now licensed by law. But
the great, the only basis for such a law, is a
healthy public sentiment, q common convic-
ton that it is wrong to make, buy, sell, or
use as a beverage" any thing that will pro-
duce insoxication. And the only legitimate
method CT producing such a public sentiment
is moral s%uasion.
On questions Of morals, the Bible is the
standard authority. 1t is with difidence we
presume to touch upon the scriptural argu-
ment for total abstinence, because it is sup
posed by many to pertain exclusively to min
listers Of the Gospel to expound &c cathera
what is the teaching Of the sacred word.
Now, for our part, we believe the Bible is
designed by it's author for all, to be read and
understood by all, and to be taken in that
plain, common sense meaning which its sa-
crcl pages impart to all. And to the Bible
we therefore appeal in favor Of total absti-
nence from intoxicating liquors as a bever-
age. And in this article, we have only space
70 notice a text or two which have been sup
posed TO Condemn the position we have taken.
Take little wine for thy stomach's sake,
- e IL. f. 20
people will plead Scripture, we must hold
them literally to the authority to which they
appeal. Look at this passage then, and see
what it authorizes. l. Wine,'' not brandy,
nor whiskey, nor gin-slings, nor punch, nor
cobblers, nor cocktails, but "wine"-nothing
bit WINE. 2. "a title wine'-not much
not bottle after bottle to be guzzled down un-
Ill reason is drowned, and the animal man
alone remains unclaimed but " a lille ocine."
3. "For thine often inirmities'--not to please
the palate, nor crafty the appetite not to
promote conviviality or to be in the fashion
not for every little indisposition or occasional
illness but " for thine often infrlnities." -
4. And even then he sure that the wine you
take has no brandy, nor whiskey, nor any
other distilled spirits in it. For the wine
Paul advised Timothy to take was destitute
of any such poisonous admixture. 1t will
be easy to show, and we mean to do it at &
convenient time, that the Scripture no where
commends the use of intoxicating wine, ant
that it every where forbids it. But to return
s. BE careful that you are in such a state o
health as Timothy was, and that such a mai
rs was Paul would advise you " to take a lit
tie wine," before you touch a single drop
Until you are satisfied en- this point, "Lool
not thou upon the wine"
And now, kind reader, WI must leave thi'
subject until another time, when we ma.
look n little farther into those Scripture
which the drunkard blasphemously peryert
to the sanction of his hellish appetite.
