loves as woman docs,--it is a part of her na-

consequently, he does not look at love in the
light she does. He thinks calls it silly
foolish ; she regards it as something heavenly,
divine. And now, William, dear one, NAV |

Written for the Smyrna Times.
Is il So?

In yonr last Issue " An Old Resdenter" re-
peats an assertion which has been reiterated
again aud again throughout the State, but of
which have never seen the proof 1t is. that
the Prohibilory Law was defeated, and the pre-.
sent License system, which is flooding the land
with wckedness, was secured through the
agency of members Of the church." | have
never seen the proof of this, and not knowing
the gentlemen implicated, | cannot Judge of it's
truth. 1t it is true, then am more than ever
convinced of the vast difference between pro-
Tossing and possessing religion. My Bible de-
nounces a curse upon him that gives his neigh
Dor drink-thst puts the bottle to him-that
causes him to be drunken and no man living
up to the Bible eau do such sin, either in his
own person or by giving another power to do
80. The religion Of Christ commands US to
love our neighbor as ourselves, and any man
who Will put temptation in the way of his
neighbor, or give another man power to harm
hun, ksows very little of pure religion. If then
any member of the church did do such thing,
must believe he was too ignorant to be capa-
bic of moral discrimination, or willing to sell
his religion to the success of his party. But
the truth is, | cannot believe that any one fit TO
go to the Legislature would so disgrace his
church and dishonsr his God.
