TIE Mistake iH the Temperance

For many years a large number of
able. educated men have been laboring
in the Temperance cause. They have Ia
bored faithfully. and have been sustained

been crowned with only partial success.
And while We are thankful ior the pro-

arises. why have not their labors been
more successful We know of but one
reason. and that Is this: The temper
ancc reformation has not been made 4

have not zone deep enough; they have

to build the grand cdiiice of reformation

error of some of our would be theclo-

that there Is that in man which, if lie

the great majority of drunkards who
have attempted to reform, have adopted
this false principle, and looked TO them
