My Dear Breathering and Sstern: | appear before
you to-day Minister the Gospil and I've doubt
that atore the foundation the world alb, predes
tined to preach the glad tdnS NV the Prince Nv the
New Jerusalem alb. | believe in the doclrin nv the
Saints and NV thar final perseverance. An emmy doc
trim that teeches you to believe otherwise can't he
found within the leds NV the Bible, ah | am proud to
say, my brethering and sistern, that am old fashion,
ed chrisun the Harlshell Baptist peusuashun an
lave chosen far my tex a passage scrptur that's
found in the eds the Bible, an could tell what it m
but don't know my self ah But, whenever you find
it, the words will be these:
Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish
and wine unto those that be Nv of heavy hearts,
Now, my brehring and sstern, thar's great many
kinds Nv Ticker in this world, as mentioned in the tex
and these different sorts of spirits may be kened to the
various denomnashuns nv the chrisnn persuashun ah
In the first place have the bright and sparkling sham
pain wine that from urrin parts all. This cos
tly cker, an is used by them as is troubled with big
dead, al. ltlS ri y fine sperit and keeps cisSic
popln, an a efervessn.
1t is just my bretherng and sistern with the Pts
copalians ab They is highluten an rstocratic set
Nv unbeeeVers, ah. They have fine pews, tall churches
and monstrous Thar is hoss racers gambler and
chicken filters among 'em, ah They is nifty proud
people and believe in the Posolic Accession an hev
keeps going up from big preacher to another, until
they get up to nohin. They resemble st. Johns beest
with heads and ten horns for in speaking Nv horns
the tex says:
Give strong drink unto him that is ready to PERISH
and wine unto them that be Nv heavy hearts,
Again my brethering and sstern, thars another kind
Nv cker that depraves the appetite corupts the
biIes, nauSeates the stomach consterpates the BOWLS
dprtsses the feelings, destroys the health perduces sick
headake and vomiting, ah This kind strong drink is
commonly cautd wIiskey But in different locaitys it
has various c0ngelatlUns. In Rackensack it is called
rot-gut in Tnnysee it is named redeye; in Iinoys it
is denominated bald face and III Texas, whur live it
is turned bust head. Now this strong drink my
Chgistun and dyin trends, may be lkened unto the
Methods persuashun, for they people that sturs up
things with a short stick, ah They is death on camp
meetings and preechin up thar free grace and parden
TO ALL They sprlhkes 10 plare baytisen, an with
thar shoutln, an screemin and falling lrum grace they
gets obsropdlous and hungry with evness hart for
| the tex says
" Give strong drink unto him that is redy to perish
and wine unto them that be hevy hearts,"
Again. my dying congregation, thar is another kind
Nv drink, which, IT 1t don't do emmy good, it can't DO
emmy harm. 1t is ginger pop, ali and thar is great
deel more water nor ginger IN it, ah. 1t is like the
Canete, tur thar is water in Them than emmy else
They carry thar doctrines far reject glori-
Gus old Burbin, ah They my Christun friends is fit
subjects ur the track and missionary societies but no
whar within the edS the Bible emmy tex be found
which tells you that you can enter into the gate Nv the
| New Jaruseem on water alone for the tex says:
" Give strong drink unto him that is eddy to perish
and VINE unto them that be hevy Nv heart
And yet, my hearers, thar is one powerful strong
drink found In all stores, groceries, hotels pothccary
SllGI)S IL Is CotSdC IL is mace Ouon every
thing and bears great price, ah. our worthy speaker
my brehering and sstern, knows it WE'LL ah 1t makes
man eeI kls keepns ah, when under its influence he
IS mighty apt to ltt the the bag, all an con
less to things that he ought mt tell This Ticker may
be iikened to the Romn CathC cks because when they
gets with thar prees under the influence Of spres
they confess thar sins. Catholck pretst, friends
is great MAJ, he keeps large nuuneries full Of St
Peter it may BE- supposed he always ready for the tex
says:
"Give strong drink unto him that's reddy to perish
an wine unto them that be hevy Nv heart"
Thar is furthermore my beloved followers Nv the meek
aud holy another monstlOus mean drink Outland8h in
name ab0mnable in SMELL bitter in taste and horrible
to drink 1t is Lager Beer, ah This kind Nv strong
drink uddes the dees, upsets dcStion, oblustces the
understanding an leads the drnker herca into the ways
Nv sin and death. 1t may be likened to the Morm0ns
They is than the Babblonish idoaturs that fell
down and Worslipt the goldn image which Nebicanaz
sur the king had s0t up. 10 Smith thar profit, al
they believes that Brigham Young possesses inacuis
powers They has CRATE number Nv wives which is
kontrary to DIVINE teechin, fur that is true
chrisun manage but woman at time keepin
hlssef In bylen wafer, for the tex says,
Give strong drink unto him that is reddy to perish
and vine unto them that be Nv hevvy hearts,"
An lastly my dyin friends, thar is glorious strong
drink ALL that will do yer hearts goods 1t eDivens the
teens, opens the heart to deeds uv ah. You car
drink it forevur without making beest Nv yourself 1t
is old Peech Brandy, the best Of all strong drinks
LHis stttS NY CurlSIlan Heefef6 may De pafGd tC
the old Hard Shell Baptsts ah They never devatt
from the old track. No tain from grace among um
When they once makes the eddy, they keeps clear
the breakers whskey the quicksands Of Shampayne
the whirpoOjs Nv Jlmmaky, the shoes Ginger pop
the waves Nv Coneyack, and the sroccos of Lager
Beer. But they steer right into the havn NV ole
Ptech Brandy an thar my dyin friends, tue wind may
houl, the ghtnns fash the hunders ROLL and the yeti
quake the old Hard Shell Baptss will set thar megs.
But it makes ~ difference, my brehering, when We
