DR.. Holland in Reply to Archbishop
~. PnHcell. II

New YORK, March 2l.-Dr. j. G. Hol.
land has written letter in reply to a
recent circular Of Archbishop Purcell on
the existing temperance movement among
women. He asks, "What in Gods name
was there for them 10 do but Just what
they are doing?" and adds: at the lead
ers OF the Christian Church had done
their duty, and the leaders OF State and
National politics had done theirs, there
would not be dram shop to. day between
Canada and the Gulf The whole busi-
ness has been LETT to God and the women,
and the latter are praying in the Churches
and in the street, and pushing on their
divine and peaceful crusade because the
men OF America have failed to do their
duty. Shall Christian man in high
station or low lift his voice against them !"
Dr. Holland quotes the Scripture against
the Archbishop's quotations, and, in the
closing paragraph of his reply to that
prelate says: II tremble 10 think of the
stumbling block which you In your circu.
lar have placed before the tempted and
deceived. There Is not a whisky mill In
the Union which does not stand firmer on
It's foundation in consequence of II.
There is not whisky seller in the coun-
try who does moi approve of it and feel
easier In his business because oil 1t. There
Is no clergyman who INDUCES in vino to
the destruction o! his influence as a tenn
perance man who does not see in 1t his
justification. There is noyoung man lust
beginning course Of dissipation who
does not find his downward steps easier
for 1t. All those who respect and revere
the temperance practices of your life are
grieved byit. You have made mistake
which you can hardly rectify In life.
time. Your influence has been given to
the wrong side in this controversy be-
tween the powers Of light and the powers
OF darkness. You have given strength to
the forces organized against national
purity and morality"

Services at the Disciples Church
Neutrality-suspicious. by Rev. =. B.
ChalleneF. of XIV,

Challener, of Ky.
Reported for the Intolligenecr,)
Rev. E. B. Challener, Of Shelbyville,
KY, preached in the Disciples Church
yesterday morning. He took for his text
the scripture contained in the 2Sd and
Path verses Of the 9th chapter OF Jere-
miah, dwelling more particularly on tho
following: ~ am tie Lord tohieh exercise
l0uing Kindness, judgment and righteous
ness IN tue eartt." The speaker proceed.
ed to say that love was essentially the
nature Of God. He said that It was no
where recorded in the bible that God was
Justice-that God was Righteousness. 1t
IS said that God is q God oI Justice, &C., but
John says, "God Is Love" This is the grand
and comprehensive theme Of the Bible;
this Is the source Of Joy and consolation
to the weak, the erring, the fallen. Men
may despise, may revile, may oppress !;
but God loves. He does not love as we
love. We love q man on account OF his
personal qualities, but God loves men be-
cause He has created them. A man may
fall, may sin, may neglect every oppor-
tunity Of good and embrace every occasion
for doing evil, still God loves him be-
cause man Is the work of His hand. This
Is hot the manner Of men. Men love US
because We please them, because we rem
DER them some service; Gods love Is dis.
interested. The speaker said that
with this view men were encour-
aged to labor on and on, although
obstacles almost insurmountable shonld
present themselves. We are sure Of fhe
love Of God-men may fail 10 appreciate
us, but God never fails US. The sneaker
insisted that men could not get 80 low but
that God would love them still. He here
referred to the present temperance move
ment and said that he would take the oc-
cssion to say that God loves the man who
sells intoxicating liquors. He loves the
man who drinks It, but &c does not love
the man because he drinks, nor does He
love the man because he sells the drink.
He loves them simply as His creatures.
Elder Challener In his concluding
remarks spoke Of the necessity Of
man treating his fellow men with
great consideration on account Of the
fact that God loves all. 1t is therefore q
very serious matter Tor o man TO engage
IN any calling which would work injury
TO his fellows, for in so doing he works
harm TO the objects Of Gods love. "Woe
6e to him toho putteth Tie bottle 10 his neigh
60r5 bps" 1t Is proper 10 say that the
speaker did not intend, by universal love
70 be understood as advocating universal
salvation. The discourse was listened q
with marked attention.
