Letter IN Reply TO Arcl6isAop Parcel.
NEW YoRk, March 2l.-Dr. j. G. Holland
has written letter in reply to recent cir
cuiar Of Archbishop Purcell on the existing
temperance movement among women. He
asks, What, in Gods dear name, was there
left for them TODD hut just what they are
doingf and adds: IF the leaders of the
Christian Church had done their duty, aud
the leaders of State and National politics had
done theirs, there would not be dram>shop
to-day between Canada and the Gulf. The
whoie business has been left to G cd and the
women, and the latter are praying in the
churches and on the street. and pushing ON
their divine and peaceful crusade psTause the
men of America have failed TO do their duty.
Shall Christian man, in high station or low,
lift his voice against them 2"
DIR. Holland quotes the Scripture against
the Archbishop's quotations, and, in the clos
ing paragraph of his reply to tina. prelate,
says: tremble to think of the stumbling
block which you in your circular have placed
before the tempted and deceived. There is
not a whiskey-mill in the Union which does
not stand irmer on its foundation in conse!'
queuce of It. There is not whiskey-seller
in the country who does not approve of it,
and feel easier in his business because of it.
There is no clergyman INDUCES in wine, to
the destruction of his influence as Temperance
man, who does not see in it his justification.
There is no young man just beginning course
OF dissipation who does not find his downward
steps easier for it. All those who respect
and revere the temperate practices of yonr
lie are grieved by it. You have made a mis-
stake, which you can hardly rectify in life
time. Your influence has been given to the
wrong side in this controversy between the
powers of light and tho powers of darkness.
You have given strength to the forces orr
gained against national purity and morality"
