would do more good than all the sermons ever
preached on temperance how would cristians pray
lead us not into temptation if there was non do you
net think it would be as much glory to the saviour
to ceep cristian in the midst of temtation as to
take it away & let him lie down & fold his hands
do you think it was the way the fathers trod to
glory to god do you think they had no foes to te
they not sail through body to win the prise
is the arm Of the lord shortened that he can not
save did one dos one more say Try whatthe sons
do the think the will have nothing to attend to but
have every ones coat pind to theirs do you not
think if you had that demon cid you would have
another to ite mite it not be worse one do you
not think that to put it to to the arm of law it
would be much wors thanit now stands did church
and state ever join together do great things do
you not think that it would beas we'll to let peo-
pei alone as to throw money sway to have speeches
prented to make devesion in neibourhoods do you
think that when the sons dies wisdom will seas
with there deceas do you not think the world will
be goyernd as well after we cease to act do you
not think that We are not employed as we'll aswe
mite be do you think if pride was laid little that
would be one step to wards temperance not pride
the prevailing sin of our land do you not think if
pride was laid & humility was put in its place
things would have better appearance is it not pride
that makes many drink do you think there ever
MAS cristian ever sent to that place where mercy
never comes for getting drunk do you not think at
that day when all deeds will be laid before an as
sembled world there will apear as many whore
mongers & adulters as will be drunker do you not
know that there sentence will be depart from ye
workers ofiniquity to that place prepared for the
diyil and his angels will the druncards sentence
be any wors when he stands before the judge Of
quick & dead does the Judge say if you can ceep
your evil deeds from the eyes Of men will let
you slip or dos he say be sure your sins will find
you out do you think IL you do not get drunk &
lie and cheat and take the name of god in vain
your doing no harm will not the Judge of all do
right suppose you do non Of these but steal and
murder will not that give the Judge achance to
condem can an evil heart escape BY such Judge
why then not com to lite do you think they lite
you have made will penetrate through walls &
q SCENTED placed out side now if you have found
new Il living way to com to the saviour why not
ceep it where non but the sons can get any benefit
did the saviour teach his decipes to 20 to secret
places & let no one in to the secret but them that
the will not devuge the secret even when the quit
the dark place do you not think it is somthing
like the doings Of mahopet when he started on
his Journey to heaven g. don't you think if you cap
carry out your plans that it will com out in som
way like his do not suppose that man is better in
his unrenewed state than hewas then give man
the power & it is hard to say what he will do has
not secret societys caused kindoms to reel & toter
to the ground what is becom of greece what Of
rome what of france what what mite destroy
our own country mite not secret societys & stump
speaches fetch it that it mite be said young ameri
ca is no more would it not be better if there is
much good got by the sons to throw open the door
& say to siners com & drink at the fountain that
we have opened for sin 8: foruncleanness with out
money aud without price do you not think wine
is o mocker & strong drink is raging do you net
think heart of unbelief is wors than both put
together now in conclusion you will not think that
snacdote will be amis as you allow them in yonr
speaches about the mark set on cain & the voter
that was OF The alection & took to much drink
went home went to prayers with his family do
you not think he need sum stimelent now do you
not think if sin is to be driven from our world a.
piece at atine would be better to begin where sin
began & drive the whole female race from the
world do you think that alcohol would soon loose
its eject on sinful man doyou not think that you
could have much more trobel about the desmon
strong drink now let US all press on with zeal &
not stop gavel with the things Of earth till we
can say with that servant of god. know whome
believed & I know that he will honor me when he
makes up his Jewels A friend
