Dr.. Estes Lecture.

Rev. DR.. Estes of Paris Hill read n
very interesting and scholarly lecture on
the principles and Progress o. the Tenn

last Tuesday evening.
The speaker was perfectly familiar
with his subject. lie told the audience
how freely liquor was used only few
years ago, and what has led to the pres.
ant public sentiment against it. lie
divided the reform movement into five
stages or eras. lst, Total abstinence
from the use Of Distilled Liquors; I'd,
from Fermenied; Sd. Legal and Moral
Suasion; 4th. Washing,onianism; 9th.
Prohibilory or Maine Law. Under each
OF these branches he gave history OF
the good. and The reasons of failure to
accomplish all that might have been
accomplished by them. and prophesied
that under the last. (NIaine Law we
should advance until the reform was
complete.
