MONDAY, DECEMBER ga. 1900.

The present week, according to the calen-
dar, and the practice of Christendom, is recog-
nized as a kind of holy week. Independent
OF the traditions with which it is associated,
it has come to be regarded as fit season for
the exercise of sweet and charitable Offices
Tor the forgiveness of injuries, and the en-
enlargement of all good and generous senti'
ments 1t comes by sort OF providence at
the close of the year when few bright deeds
are needed as atonements for misuses to winch
ithas been applied, and when, as in the order OF
business, it is the part OF prudent forecast that
the account with conscience and nature
should be squared. But it finds the country
in the midst OF great public disaster, and III
little mood for rejoicing. One state, blind with
frenzy and passion, has attempted to sever the
fraternal bonds which united her with this
system of states; others are seriously con-
templalng the contingency which will COM
pei them to follow in her steps. The trade OF
the country is everywhere deranged snd de-
pressed on account of the angry and menac-
ing attitude which one section of the country
has assumed toward the rest, and leaves
discourIging shadows in humble household all
over the land And as if the events Giving
as they rise were not appalling enough,
there are not wanting prophets of ruin, who
predict untried scenes Of devastation and woe
through which the country has yet to pass.
The president, with sensitiveness TO danger
which was not expected from his activity in
producing it has recommended a day Of ma
tional humiliation, and the governors of
many of the states have given to the recon-
mendation their official approval. So there
seems no other alternative than to be as
miserable as possible. But the osten-
tatious humiliation of the country will bear
little fruit that will be creditable, if it is not
used to promote higher and better public
sentiment than that which has thus far been
relied upon as the safeguard and sheet anchor
of the republic. However, the present contest
will end, whether more states than South Car.
alma will expose themselves to the derision of
the civilized world, or not, it is yet clearly
established that the public opinion of the
country has been at fault. While other coun-
tries have thrown their influence actively
against the destructive practice of chattel
slavery, ours has been nursing it into power,
till it has become the monster that it is. Will
ii become less destructive by magnifying its
power? Look at its history. Every conces
sion which has been made to it has been per-
ment loss to freedom. 1t has been more thau
this-a permanent loss TO the correct public
sentiment which prevailed in the early days of
the republic, in the face Of which no man had
the daring to defend the institution as one fit
to be bargained with and perpetuated To
this sentiment all the traditions of the coun-
try, all its hopes Of continuing free and
growing power among the nations of the
earth, call upon it to return.

TEMPERANCE LECTURE, BY Rev. E. W.
HAGAR,-All Saints Church was crowded,
last evening, to hear the lecture given by Rev.
Mr.. Hagar, in the series Of monthly temper
ance dscourses. Taking his text from II.
Peter, IL 6, "And add to knowledge, temper
ance," the speaker showed that these attri-
buteS of christian character, mentioned by
Peter, faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance,
patience, godliness, brothery kindness, and
charity, were all necessary to its complete
ness. Gods truth must stand as He has re.
vealed it in all its purity, and Faith must be
attended by all her sisterly graces. Especially
is the grace OF temperance necessary to a
complete christian character-t is a pearly
line running through the whole group of
christian graces. The crime against God and
man which the continuance of Incorporate
indulgence entails, its utterly demoraizng
influence on the character, and the way in
which strong drink fits men for hell, some
times slowly but always surely, were depicted
by the lecturer by scripture argument, as well
as by practical illustration. It's use destroys
the higher and better nature of man, and
smothers the kind sympathies OF the heart ;
and to it can most of the crime in the world
be traced. Few suspect how much of the i'm
portant business of the country is conducted
by men under the use Of alcoholic stmulants,
and if ever this glorious fabric of our country
shall fall, from its ruins will arise the stencil
of the still,
These several points were elaborated by the
speaker, and he closed by an exhortation to
the temperance men OF Worcester, not to
shrink from an unceasing contest against the
monster of intemperance until it be swept
from the city.
