1t instead of water IN eXtingulshlng a
eondagration. The law Of kindness,
that rich legacy left US by the
incarnate Deity. Is the ou4y one
that will successfully enauee US
to overcome all the opposition
that may be marshaled aga nst
the spread Of temperance p-in-
ciples If we seek to reclaim, we
must strive earnestly to convince the
object Of cur solicitude that we feel
disinterested concern In his welfare,
and we may rely on it, that, if he be
worth saving, and has not unalterably
set his face against amendment, he
will be melted and improved by your
charitable appeals, give up his predi-
lection for strong drink, and enroll
himself a member Of the temperance
cause.
Moral suasion, and that too, Of the
most cOnsiderate kind is the only
weapon with which we are authorized
70 fight IN the total abstinence cause,
and whoever arms himself IN any dis
similar manner, or adopts different
tactics, violates our approved army
regulations, and fights as guer-
rilla, doing by his Irregularities as
much injury to the cause he claims
to support and advance, as he
accomplishes against the cause
he pretends to oppose and defeat.
The tones of denunciatiOn are like
the winters storm-ferce, cutting, and
chilling-while the accents of per-
suasion are gracious, soft. and sweet,
affecting our moral susceptible
ties as genially and delightfully."-
as do the zephyrs. freighted with
the fragrance of a thousand flowers,
affect our physical sensibilities, when
tired and harrassed with the toll, care
aud turmoil of busy life, we gratefully
seek their refreshing and delicious in

society Of those we love. If, there
fore, we would reclaim the erring, we
must be temperate and engaging ia
our address, not easily discouraged,
yet not too pertinic Gus should our
overtures fail to elicit favorable and
immediate response. Such failures
will occur, but such cases are not TO
be given up as incurably hopeless, for

sion they may be disposed to lend a
more willing ear to our entreaties, aud
finally reward our diligence in duty
by consenting to our wishes.
La conclusion, permit me to express
the hope that what | have advanced
in this brief and imperfect essay. will
be accepted merely as the suggestions
of one who wishes well to the noble
cause Of total abstinence. and whose
ambition it is not to dictate how it
shall be conducted to a prosperous
issue, so much as it is to learn from
others this desirable wisdom; aud
whose great happiness it will, he
hopes, long continue to be to meet
and to greet you in Truth, Purity and
Fidelity.
