We think it cannot but be apparent to
our citizens, that, while as a city we have
been making much progress in the way of
churches and school-houses, in improvement
of our style of buildings, bettering the con-
dition Of our roads anl sidewalks, and
making many advances calculated to u-
crease the comfort of our community, there
is one cause which affects deeply the moral
ity and well being of our society, which np-
pears lately to have been lost sight of-we
mean the cause of Temperance Although
we have those amongst us who are its warm
advocates, and many who wonId he willing
to work for the cause were ii little more
popular, still the bare fact exists that there
is too much apathy with regard to this i'm
portant object
The attention Of the people seems to be
engrossed with other land in many cases
laudahle) objects, and the cause of temper
ance is left without encouragement.
Temperance lectures and temperance
meetings are hardly heard OF. OF the diff
ferent organizations We used to have in days
rome bv, we have now left bnt one the
- DIVISION Ol Tue COuS ol IeulpeEduCF,
whose few active members have for some
long time struggled under disheartening
circumstances to keep alive the embers of
the association.
We appeal, therefore, to those who with
us believe that the cause of temperance is
second only in Importance to that OF Chris
tianity, to arouse to a sense of the duty de-
volving upon them. At the suggestion of a
committee, who have made this a matter for
consideration, it has been proposed that the
clergymen of this city be requested to preach
sermons on the subject of temperance in
their usual places Of worship, on Sabbath
evenings, alternating with each other as
may be agreed.
|. Partial arrangements to this effect have
been made, Of which due announcement win
be made in the city papers.
On Sabbath evening next, at the Baptist
Church, the Rev. II. \. Cook viii deliver
the first of these sermons.
On behalf Of the Committee, g. f. u.

years past has been editor of that paper. 1t
says:
What gives peculiar severity 10 ibis sudden

Jones was married within the last six weeks
and his young and in nteresting wife has hardly
laid aside the bridal wreath before she is called
to assume the veil of widowhood But ths
is a subject too sacred for public discussion
The circle in which he moved has LOST a warm, J.

EFFECTS OF THE SECTIONAL EXCITEMENT
Not since 1912, it is said, has business been
more thoroughly prostra.ed in Philadelphia,
than at present The Ledger says:
There is literally nothing doing. The mer-
chants are selling the smallest aMo unit OF goods
and receiving amost meagre per centase Of IN
debtedness. An old merchant, or rather q
entleman for many years prominently con-
nee ted with the trade of this city, informed us
yesterday that for several months previous TO
the lst OF January, instant, his business was
about fifty per cent. what it WAS for CORES
ponding time last year: that for the first thr-
teen days OF January, by a similar co;npa,i-
son. they were even less than fifty per Ceut. 4:
that they Were daily declining, and that ht
believed his own business TO be a fair inNeX TO
the business generally of the cify. Oar mer-
chant in formart attributed this condition OF
things to the sectional preiudices existing in
the country. and from which our city suffered
unjustly and numerically by consequence OF
the teuporizing tone OF The Philadelphia
newspapers, which rather encourages bad ieel-
i!g ny not openly dehouncing the acts OF a
few fanatics who, regardless of law and Iea-
son, keep up an impression that much lar
ger portion of the Phiiadelphia public than is
really ihe case favor the. anti-s!avery side Of
