believe that Temperance is to bs advanced either by

lowing extract from late newspaper letter, which
seems to be ent irely authentic:
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 81, 1856.
Doctor Chambers, the great gun Of temperance in
this city, came out openly in his pulpit aud made con-
fession to his congregation that he and hi. eowcer
gymen had been in error and done wrong in leaving
their proper field Of usefulness, as preachers of the
gospel and seeking to reform the world by legisaiiun
aud tho use other than the teachings of Christ
and the Apostles. We have all gone as,ray," said
he; We ministers Of the gospel, ] mean; We have
not done our duty as clergymen we have tried 10 re-
form the world with our iss we have neglected our
calling and gone over to the world and dsought 10 make
men better by worldly means, and Offering worldly
inducements: and now we must come back We must
come back 10 our places we must preach the gospel,
and nothing else, or our people will be lost for one,
am determined TO como right back here TO this sacred
desk and this sacred book and teach and preach what
find here, and nothing else; and my fellow christians
ask you to come back, appeal, | implore you to
come back here 10 this book to Christ, and help
by your prayers and your example TO reform our own
people, and 10 do iby the teaching Of hishoy gopel"
