There is only one way to be worthy Of

DlO Lewis Makes O Speech Before q
Boston Audience on the Temper
ance Question and Finds Himself
Embarrassed.
Do LEWIS addressed an immense au.
dlence at the Music Hall, Boston, Sunday
night, on the question Of temperance, and
narrated the progress oGthe work In Ohio,
with his personal experiences. Among
other things he said he had received in
oil for services $40j, while the expenses
Of himself and secretary were 5000. He
believed that 1875 dram shops had been
closed in Ohio, and he challenged any one
to point out single instance in which q
dealer had broken his pledge. He said
that prayer, undoubtedly, did the work,
but success depended very much upon the
character Of the prayer and Of him max.
Ing It. Alter this part Of the address
questions were put TO him and then a
lively scene took place. A prominent
Prohibitionist asked II he was op.
posed to legal prohibition. DR.. Lewis
sought 10 evade q direct answer.
he said he was associated with
women in this work and depended on the
exercise Of love and patience. Women
have nothing to do with making the laws
and he therefore declined to mix himself
up in question concerning which there
Is so much difference Of opinion. he
would say, however, that in the future,
when people shall have been educated TO
the proper standard, there will be a pro-
hibltory law, and It will be enforced. II
he were asked II that time had arrived,
he would decline to answer. He said
that II he were asked whether or not the
law at present is all right, he would not
answer unless some one compelled him
to, and then he would say that 1t was Q
blunder. He thought that the reason
why II was not enforced In Boston, Is that
people do not believe that selling rum is |
as bad as stealing a horse. Men don't
ASSAA aPSA AaANO Os AlACL a. t40 bhLI6
as o horse thief"
That was too much for the pteaiding
officer Of the meeting, Mr.. Sheafe. Stop.
ping DR.. Lewis, he came to the front Of |
the platform and said he was Prohibi- |
zionist, and "he knew that Prohibition
lists looked upon the selling Of glass OF
beer or Of cider as being worse than steal.
ing horse" BE disclalmed all responsi.
bility for the sentiments DR.. Lewis might |
express. DR.. Lewis sharply retorted that
he wanted no one to be responsible for |
him or for what he said. He believed |
that If every other law were abolished,
and the prohibitory law was allowed to |
remain, and ii tOere enforced the millennium |
would begin. he said that II the pro-
hlbitory people were vexed at what he |
had said, It was their own fault, ior they |
had forced him into a statement. he dc. |
nounced the licensing Of liquor sellers as |
Infamous, He attributed the failure Of
the law to the fact that in certain
II invaded personal rights. and |
partly to tho perVersity to human nature.
