1t will stand through all OF SArAss
damning powers
Nita Auxilium sb alto inscribed
apoa bis holy banner,
Is aot many dealers in Spirits fenenu
yiolators of this command,
"Remember the Sabbath day to keep
it holy" -.
Ia the great judgment day rhere sill
they stand 7
Amid the condsmned, the meek. or
the ioriy.
Some men ssly 60 to church because
they taiak
1t adds to their responsibility. How
hipocritically sublime!
With one day of pretended rest, and six
days for drink
The Sabbath day should be kept a.
holy time
The ff,h command expressly says,
Honor thy father and thy mother,
,That long may be their days;
But alas intemperance breaks this
command with euery other.
This law is bindingupon the child while
life lasts,
The object Of love and respect can
neUeT cedsr,
In this life that time can never come to
pass,
No, even age to it gives no release.
Thou shalt not kill, in fact or thought
Is one of the Ten great laws OF God,
Cannot men evsry day be see" and
caught?
Poisoning men, burying liberty and
Justice meath the sod.
Thou shalt not commit adultery, mark
this command,
Its at the head of the catalogue OF
crime,
And all violators or purity under it
stand,
Facts speak volumes on this subject
from beginning Of time.
The pRuyKAaD MAKER is placed under
this head,
He being moral pestilence in the
land,
A foe of virtue, patron of vice, murder
r of the dead,
Then wonder the church is working
against them heart and hand.
What saith the Scripturest to every mani
Whoredom and wine, and new wine
take away the heart.-Hosea ALL
Puts Indignation i'll the hand,
And causes reason and affection TO
depart.
The eighth command says "Thou
shalt not steal,
The question is who is the most ac-
cessory TO crime,
And what steals the sleep, peace, and
domestic veal,
What mostly disqualifies man for the
things Of time'
Man and INTEMPERANCE OF course the
answer must be,
With Eau de vie the curse Of
many domestics, we know,
But YOU who have not felt its Doe can
know its an evil, and see
BY the move in our ministers pro
bono pubico.
"Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Every married man, who gets drunk,
breaks this command,
Breaks his solemn marriage oath, looses
all his fitness,
As he vowed to be kind husband,
and faithful by his wife to stand.
Who then promised to be loving hus-
band until death,
And who is not stamped with the
brand of liar,
Let the innocent speak in tones with all
their breath,
That they are not in danger Of HELrs
fire.
"Thou shalt not covet,' thy neighbor's
right,
Nor anything which to oanother might
belong,
1t would be sin and folly in our makers
sight,
This command proves it would be
wrong.
Reader take this command to yourself
as token,
Crave not other mems goods, tbs no
satisfaction,
This is the easiest of all the Ten com.
mands to be broken,
For thought must always precede ac-
ton.
Again, it is in the power Of the fe-
males in the land,
To Danish foreusr from their view the
awful foe,
It's weight falls heaviest upon their hand
Because they are SO deeply guilty
sub silentio
The ministers combination meetings in
our town, were 3ensely crowded
Males and females enlivened the scene
the nights were dark and the
