OF kind Providence, yet sees no Cod
lie pretends to have brought all science to
bear upon the, subject, and to have search
cd to the first great principle of all things
and has found none.
The Deist pretends to acknowledge the
existence of God and to see his fnger-marks
on all creation-yet, while t1at great Be-
ing is laundering from pole to pole, and
waking nations from their profsTad sleep
OF barbarism and death, h,-says he hears not
the sound.
The Bible is the cornerstone of liberty.
Freedom rests upon it, as a house upon a
rock. The flagstaff of American liberty
IS planted upon it; and there the glorious
Stars and Stripes gracefully wave in the
breeze, over prosperous and christian
nation.
Remove the Bible-the chief corner
!. stone Of American liberty y-and the mighty

upon America as bright meteor that once
passed across the political horizon of earth
that dazzled for while, then passed into

But now the wealthy and temperate must
pay for nearly all the mischief liquor does,
Yet we license some men to sell liquor,
and thus to destroy men, human beings IN
som and body, for time and eternity If
man woald set up shop to sell poison,
and so polscn our commuHity, every one
would rise up against him. Now liquor is
really poison to well man, to ointoxicate
and kill. The man who buys it, drinks,
suffers and dies, pitied and blamed; but
the seller goes free. Christ the author of
life is crucifed, but Barabbas the murder
er is set free. But you may say the seller
has license to do this yes, and men
have had license to sell indulgences, to give
people liberty, to do what ? To commit
sin? Yes and to be indulged therein
And now the seller has license not only
to give men the liberty, to commit sin, bnt
to force them to commit sin not only to
kill drunkards, but what is far worse, tomake
droaisards not only to deprive them and
theirs of enjoyment in this life, ,.te.. also in
the life to come not only to bar heaven,
but also to open the gates of hell. And
iNoo "oo luCli HUHOtT III Tue Ill0e OF
Isaiah the Prophet, land their number is
greater now,) that there was not room in
hell and it had to be made larger; for the
Prophet says, Is 5: l4.) Therefore hell
hetth enlarged herself and opened her mouth
'c'thoaI measure; and their glory, and
he that rejoiceth shall descend into it.
Oh ye who license men thus to do, and
OH ye too who do thus, 'take heed and
beware" Will ye employ men to make
you ''tenfold more the child of hell" and
your children with you, emphatically 'the
children of the devil, generation of Vi
pers," and of the old serpent and when
your cup of iniquity is thus prematurely
full, to cut you off ere mid day and send
you, one and all, quick to hell, to crowd
its portals And ye licensed men, will We
be agents in such work If he who is
instrumental in saving many souls shall
have them as stars in his crown of reioic-
ing forever, aOhat shall become of the IL
quor dealer who has been instrumental in
the ruin of many Why did the ricn

Do, Alcoholic Liquors Prevent or Cure
Consumption

The Trustrees of the Fiske Fund, as the
annual meeting of the Rhode TslanA Medical
Society, held in Providence, june I, 1859.
announced that the premium Of two hundred
dollars offered by them in 1893, for the best
dissertation on the following subject:
The effect of the use Of alcoholfc I;qyors
IN Turbercular Disease, or IN constitutions
predisposed to such disease. to De shown. az
far as possible, by statistics, = has been awar-
ded to DIR. Johr Bell of New York.
The following general conclusions are ar
rived at IN the essay:
j. The opinion so largely prevailing as TO
the effects of the use of alcohol. liquors. viz:
that they have marked influence, in pre-
venting the deposition OF tnrbercle is desti-
tate eta solid foundation
2. On the contrary, their use appears rath-
erz to predispose to turbecular disposition
3. Where turbercles already exist. alcohol
has no o6rious effect an modifying the usuaE
course run by that substance.
4 Neither does 1t mitigate, in any consid-
eranle degree, an any stage of the disease.
Inc question, tA,~~eSorer do,s xxb;ul, o. we

A WORD TO YOUNG MEN.

by the all-wlse arrangements of Provi-
dence, the race of mankind exists by sue
cession. The inheritance possessed by
your fathers will soon fall into your hands.
The riches, the honors, the poverty and
disgrace which it shall contain, will all be
yours; and it is for you to say whether this
immense inheritance shall be handed down
to your posterity, loaded with debt, pollu-
ted with crime, its poor houses filled with
naappers !ap rs and its pEs0ns with criminals
them free from debt, purified from crime,
and in possession of a hale, healthy, virtu-
Gus and rejoicing population. This is an
important question which is left for your
decision.
You can arrest the food of desolation
which the rum trade has been rolling for
ward from age to age. You can confine
the pauperism and crime, and disease and
death which it occasions, together with the
sighs and tears and sufferings, which are
its accompaniments, so that when the exist
ing generation passes away, the curse of
drunkenness, and the antecedent curse pro-
ducing 1.-THE vending of the drunkard's
drink-shall pass away with it.
The Temperance Reformation forms a
grand era in the history of civilization A
crisis has arrived, upon the decision OF
which the futurties of many generations
hang, and the high responsibility Of making
that decision is yours. 1t is yours to weave
the web of your own destiny, and those
who are to come after you will be woven
Are you willing, by your acts, to forward
this aecnmulating stream of woe and death
which issues from the brew-house and the
still, to the coming generation, to be BY
them sent forward to generations still more
remote, thus becoming the voluntary agen
of transmitting to remote posterity, an &C
cursed patrimony?
Assured that you are not willing to dt
this, we rely on you for giving differen
direction to the course of things, and 70
the introduction ofa new element-the ell
ement of prohibition-into our system Q
administration, to contribute to the cult
vation of those virtues which will signal
ize your generation, embalm your memo
ries, and prepare the way for the introduc
tion of millennial glory.
Shall We rely in vain? Will you disap
5 point the eager expectations of the thous
, ands who are looking to you for assistance
e and who are relying upon you to catch tn
r mantle of Temperance, as it falls from th
