The Case of Rev. j. d. Bell.

1t is not necessary for us to enter into an
elaborate discussion to convince our readers
that we did not make an untruthful report of
the charges upon which Rev. j. D. Bell was
arraigned, on the 18th inst. and of the findings
of the council, as he alleged we did. He con-
tradicted the statement himself and substan-
tiated our report in every particular by repeat
ing the charges and the action of the council
on each as fully as we could wish. The Off
cial report has been received, and that corrob-
crates our words, not emily, but makes the case
even worse for hiHi than did our report or his
own card; but If it made his case any better,
or disproved the truth of the report we made,
we would no less cheerfully give him the ben
eft of its publication.
Wedisayow any personal feeling against him
in giving the facts TO the public, or any dispo-
sition 70 make sensational story of his q do
nestle misfortunes." His trial before an &C.
elesiastieal council for sundry offences was
made \ public matter, and, as a reporter Of
current local events, we received an invitation
to attend. We made only a brief statement of
the main facts in the ease, as was our privilege
and duty; and Mr.. Bell would have done well
IL he had let the matter rest where we were

ST. ANDREWS, Episcopal
l.. BLAKESLEY,
Clerk.

ST. ANDREWS EPISCOPAL.
Rev. J.. l.. Holden discoursed from Romans
XIV, u, "It is good neither TO eat flesh nor to
drink wine, nor anything whereby thy broth
or stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak -
He thought that false ideas existed of the
rights and duties of a large class of persons
called the temperate people of the land, par
ticularly as it regards the using wisely and
temporarily the God-blessings Of this world.
II is claimed that the Bible represents wine n
one OF Gods gifts, and that the Savior at the
wedding in Cana sanctioned its use. The
idctS cannot be denied, and opposition to them
only weakens instead OF strengthens the cause
of temperance. The true and only tenable
| argument is, that thing lawful and harmless
IN Itself may cease 10 be so under a change of
| circumstances. Yielding the point that the
scriptures do sanction the use of wine as one
of Gods gifts, little OF the wine OF commerce
in common use is the juice Of the grape, but a
| poisonous admiXture more injurious than pure
alcohol The scriptures speak in strong terms
Of condemnation of the Of '.strong drink -
and mixed wine, and command US not to look
| upon wine 'when it is red, when it giveth its
color in the cup" The wines now in use and
those used Mt Cana are so different that the
plea for q temperate of wine loses its force.
lie set forth that the position Of the apostle
| In the text and the chapter from which it was
| taken is an unanswerablc argument in favor
| Of total abstinence from wine IN any form as Il
| beverage. That we are responsible for our eX-
| ample and influence, and have no right 10 use
| our liberty To the injury of another. We
\ walk in the stems Of our fathers and our chill
/ dren in ours, and we are responsible if, by
| our example, our children are taught 10 lie,
| steal, swear become drunkards. we are
/ The keepers of our brethren Of all mankind.
! The wine cup in the social circles, especially
| in high life, eNcites the appetite for strong
| drinks, and the one struggling against the
| temptation is induced TO take Il downward
| step and he stops not until he reaches a
| drunkard's grave. In such examples are seen
the fearful harm of attempting TO defend such
| customs by scripture. How fallacious the plea
| for an occasionG! or moderate use of wine
| How know such that nhey are not sowing the
seeds the harvest of which they shall reap in a
drunken son or friend? How can they meet
such at the judgment? Thus our responsible
| ity limits our liberty.
Let our young men take warning, and have
the manliness TO initiate the example of Sena-
tor Wilson, who, when young man, at a din
ner with John q. Adams in Washington, de-
clined the invitation of Mr.. Adams to take a
glass Of wine, replying, "Sir, never drink
| wine" Such manliness could be trusted, and
the people of Massachusetts, understood it,
The best recommendation young man car
have is, that he never drinks, never CANDLES
and is not addicted to certain other evils which
might be named. May all be persuaded to re-
frain from the beginnings of evil.

TURN OFT, TURN OUT,

The voters OF the third ward, who feel inter
ested In preserving the city from licensed dram
shops, should not neglect TO go to the polls on
Saturday and vote for DR.. w. w. Hibben. The
Doctor Is inyeterally opposed TO licensing sa-
looms, and will make good councilman. He's
n man OF sound judgment, and gentleman
who can be relied upon TO stand firmly ON his
word. Do not be deceived into a sense OF Sc
eurity by the seeming inactivity Of the advo-
Gates for license. They are not dead nor sleep
ing. They are only lying still until good
opportunity To strike successfully IS presented.
The Importance of electinS anti-license
councilman IS imperative. If the whisky par
~ elects their man now, a they viii endeavor
70 DO, there Will be no hope for you In the
spring, and you may have Iegalized whisky
shops then. Turn out.

the official report of the council.
He must bear the responsibility OF first drag
ging his Hprisate griefs'' into the newspapers.
In an editorial article in the Tribune, publish
ed a week or more before his trial, his bitter
reflections concerning his wife found unmanly
vent under the head of 'EThe Betrayal Of

son in the community who was informed Of
his family troubles, as a childish supplication
for the sympathy of the community in his own
behalf and against his wife, although he dis
Nssed the subject in general way and men
ed no names.

put simply one of the small things broug. NIs
oy the coral TO swell the mountain of
troubles. But in cutting down our article As
written, the point Of the irony in
tended was cut Oh, and even the parenthetical
sawful' was not sufficient to show the drift of
BUR thoughts. Consequently, Mr.. Bell, the
Tribune, and everybody concerned, except
hose we intended it should perforate, rose up
against US, and we stood in danger Of utter an
by those who should have received
Il as a generous offering.
Whether Mr.. bell was worthy to fill the po-
sition OF q pastor and preacher or not, we
leave others to judge. We recognize as a prln-
ciple, that it is not in human power TO take up
the web of any one life and unravel the chain
Of circumstances which gave it character, and
point out all the incidents inwrought with its
warp and wool to color the web in honor or
for every event in any life possesses
an influence according to its relations with
other events, complicated with the physical
and spiritual conditions and surroundings OF
the individual. A circumstance that may af-
feet one person fortunately may have disas-
trous effect upon another, or the same person
may enjoy or suffer from an event in his expe-
rience accordingly as the atmosphere of his
life at the time it tranSpires is clear or cloudy.
Therefore, whatever may be the sin, 1t is not
becoming in man to judge the sinner harshly.
1t is possible for man to be disfgured by the |
stings OF very small insects, and it requires
sometimes u discriminating look to determine
whether an Inflammation Of the cuticle is

reason unknown to us, but for ~
pie, terribly important reasons: 'erefor

all alcoholic drinks, even where pure, ar.
sonous: and,
2. Because Of the sad consequences whie4
always have, and always must and do, result |
frcm the sale aud use of intoxicating drinks.
On these two simple arguments the friends |
of Temperance and Prohibition are content to |
rest their cause.
The speaker proceeded to show that aleoho!
was, by the best testimony, poison Of the ma
ture OF stimulant, has no nutritive qualities,
but only wastes away more rapidly the vital
powers. He spoke of the inconsistency Of re-
quiring long years Of study from the druggist
at the medical school before he can practice
his trade, and even then requiring him to label
plainly every paper or phial of poison he sells
for any purpose, and yet allowing the liquor
dealer to sell his deadly poisOns without stint
to whoever asks for them.
Passing on then to speak OF the results OF
liquor-selling and drinking, he said these were
of two kinds:
/. To the community; =. To the individual.
Among the evil effects Of the sale and use of
liquor in any community were mentioned,
pauperism, strife and great increase Of crime.
In the city of Vineland, n. j., place of near
ly 10000 inhabitants, the police force cost only
S75 year, and made but three arrests during
that time, state of things plainly resulting
from the fact that no liquor was allowed to be
sold within the township.
Among the consequences Of Intemperance
to the individual the speaker enumerated
Degradation, Enslayement, Idiocy and Ruin,
and closed by exhorting his hearers to stand
firm by the barrier of Prohibition and the
cause of Temperance and forbid forever the
sale Of alcoholic poison and its baser adulter-
ations, in Emporia.
