it is now; but they did not look at it as we do
Conscience, like every honest Judge, gives its de-
cisions according to the evidence. In their case
the proof was all on one side and in favor OF drink
ing. 1t was an evidence Of hospitality-good for
health, &c., and the decision was given according
ly. But in our case the proof on the other side
is also adduced-all the evils which legitimately
grow out Of its use and which necessarily accom-
pany it. Weighing all the evidence, conscience
~reverses the decision and pronounces against the
practice. The proof existed Of old, but 1t was
not brought to view. But we see tall see it
and conscience is faithful. They looked on drum
kenness as n sin but did not perceive its connec-
ton with the custom Of daily drinking. Its pro-
per connection has been pointed out to Us. We
see the effect Of such customs on body, mind and
soul; and we must act according to the light we
possess-abandon the custom or do violence to
our conscience.
The additional light which we enjoy, on this
subject, is not from any revelation of new truth in
Morals or Religion; but from new applications OF
old and admitted truths to long established Gus
toms for the purpose Of testing them. This is not
a novelty, but has been going on from the first.
In this way a change for the better in the senti-
meuts and practice of the world has been going
on for ages. And not among the least is the
change in our social habit Of drinking. When all
our customs shall be thus tested then will Truth
and Righteousness triumph-the world be reform
ed and man happy. The light Of Temperance
shining into every corner of our land doubtless
has reached the consciences Of all p~rofessed chris
tians. Bow to its decisions. Live up to the light
you possess, and you may expect peace and COM
fort in your Christian course. But refuse, and
conscience must condemn and accuse you. For
the sake of gratifying an appetite you will not
make an enemy Of your conscience-you need its
appreciation to make life pleasantand death peace
full.
"Conscience the never dying worm
With torture gnaws the heart,
And woe and wrath in every form
Is snow the drinkers part"

.fyul fever over, they sleep well' both having
died in the faith and hope of the christian religion.
Thus also died President POLK. who is buried
in the midst of flowers and shrubbery, in front Of
the elegant mansion (near the new State Capitol)
which he bad just fitted up for the ''dignihed re
pose" of declining years. Both made their mark
upon their contemporaries-both served their
country well-both put off the public profession
of religion to the Inst, though affirming then That
they never doubted its claim upon them, and re-
GREETING that their generation had been deprived
of the benefit of their Christian example, and they

and excitements Of public life. How sad and yet
how common and criminal!

WHYPRoFEssoRs OF RELIGION SHOULD PRAC-
TICE AND ADVOCATE TEMPERANCE.

Professors of Religion occupy a very RESPONSE
BILE place in the community. 1t is important that
thew be correct in opinions and practice. This
can only be attained by degrees. Such should be
willing to learn. To such I would offer some sug-
~gestions why you should both practice and advo-
cate total abstinence from intoxicating drinks. 1t
will be difficult for you to remain neutral. This
subject is before the community. You, from your
position, cannot stand aloof from it altogether
A good man wishes to be on the right side-the
side of Truth and of Righteousness. 1t would be
impossible to show, as it seems to me, that it would
honor your Religion, glorify God, or benefit men.
for YOU to come out as an advocate fordram drink
ing. The only course left for you then is to lake
the opposite side, theoretically and practically
This both the church ard the world expects you
IN 10. A more careful examination of the sub
iect will satisfy yor 1 think, that this is the only
christian course, and the only course which will
not be Injurious to personal and social piety. 1
will confne your attention at present to the fact
..That the ordinary use Of Intoxicating drinks is
condemned by conscience" Why it condemns
this conduct will appear in a future number. Con
science was given to man for a guide. 1t is the
Monitor within which decides Oh the morality OF
our conduct, 'their conscience also bearing wit
ness" 1t may decide strong. but it is our duty
to bow to its decisions. That it condemns the
use of strong drink-also traficking in the same
is proved by the experience Of honest and plous
men,. 1 might appeal even to all who indulge in
this way, and if in language they do not acknowl-
edge the fact, yet their conduct proves it. Why
do we hear so many excuses and reasons for their
course ? 1t is simply because conscience condemns
them in this thing. Pursue this course, regard
less of conscience, and you at once destroy chris
tan peace and joy-darkness and doubts fill the
mind. Christian duty becomes burdensome and
it is neglected. The ~professed disciple becomes
first stationary and then retrogade. What the end
will be I leave you to conjecture-and all from
the qualification of q vitiated appetite, in opposi-
ton to the decisions of conscience. But to thislt
is objected that ''of old, good men drank and yet
conscience did not condemn them" This may be
true. and yet it may be wrong. for US to follow
their example. It was probably wrong thsu %

BuLLoCKs CREEK AND TEMPERANCE.

bOLLOCh > NEE ~ DHAA
As au incident connected with the Bullock's
Creek celebration. it is proper to say. Rev. Mr..
RUSSELL announced there would be n Temperance
meeting ut Bullock's Creek church on Friday, the
10th inst. 1t is understood that addresses on che
subject may be expected from Rev. Mr.. RUSSELL
Rev. Mr.. Ross, and perhaps others. The great
cause of moral reform will not suffer in such
hands. We speak what We do know, when We
say that the zeal and devotion of these able ser
wants of the living God to the cause of social pro-
gress among US, is highly appreciated: and the
hearts and hands of hundreds in our district alone
will be strengthened in the work by this simple
announcement. A word fifty spoken, who Gun
tell how precious it is?
