ferring to live as pensioners Of the different
charities. It is shameful that they should be
allowed to do CO. Tho President Of the Indus
trial School sketches typical case thus:
We had woman apply to us for assistance. We
helped her, and in tho meantime secured her place
near Greenwich, with light work and good wages, and
she would not go, though al the time requiring help
from us. Finding she would not work, we refused to
help her any longer and she receives money from
charitable society 10 pay for her room, and Hvea By
begging.
This charitable society, il other words, is d.
rectly encouraging begging. It is but little
worse, however, than the rest They nearly all
encourage it indirectly. The Elizabethan law
for the relief Of paupers has been prolific
source Of pauperism in England ever since it's
enactment. We tax ourselves millions every
year for the sake OF teaching others the shift
essness they are too ready to learn in any event.
We train up the young in pauperism by giving
them broken yictuals at our doors, which they
may sell to aecond~class restaurant two blocks

TuroN's REPLY TO THE COUNCIL.

THT0N'S REPLY TO THE COUNCIL.
1Ir. Theodore Tilton, through the columns OF
his paper, the Golden Age, has commented upon
the proceedings Of the recent Congregational
Council but throws no new light upon the
charges against himself and Plymouth Church
| which led to calling the Council together. The
most Of the article ia devoted to personal dec
1aration Of the right Of q member to separate
from his church by his own solo act-which
amounts to nothing at all. It is merely Mr. TIL
toms opinion against the opinion OF the Council.
With regard to the charge Of slandering Mr.
Beechcr, which WAS the very basis OF the Coun-
Gil, Mr.. Tilton confines himself to one point-a
point having really no public interest, although
it NAV possesa eome interest to himself and Ply
mouth Church. He says:
The imaginary case laid before the Council was that
Of church-ne1nber charged with bearing falso wit
against tho PASTOR and declining to answer the
charge. But in the real case, the alleged member
not member, did he bear false wttuesB, did
he decline to answer and moreover, instead Of being
slanderer, he w4s, and still ia, the person chiefly
slandered. Mr. Tton was indeed charged
with an ofense, the Council here state;
moreover, he appeared in person In Plymouth Church
s also here stated but he did not appear there for
any such insufficient frivolous, and eyasve purpose
simply to reply to charge against him By the
faint plea that he had been absent for four years.
What he vent there to say in pezfou-and what he did
say-uas merely that he had been absent for four
ycars,-whtch would have been = mean mans hasa de-
fense.-but that, having been stign&uzed ! alan
dezcr, he there to openly to the whom
he alleged to have slandered.
This is all Mr. Tnton has to offer with regard
to the elander charge, and, like his views OF
membership, it simply amounts to nothing. The
question is Did Mr.. Tlron circulate islanders
against Mr. Bcecher7 II he did, then he should
have been expelled from tho church and from
any decent community. II he circulated truth
concerning Mr. Beecher, then Mr.. Beecher
should be expelled from the pulpit as hypo-
crite and depraGed man. II he did not circu-
late any stories 1t all, then Mr. Tilton should
be given letter from the church. As there
is no evidence to show what te did do,
the ISLANDERS still remain unanswered, and the
cloud rests upon Plymouth Church since the
meeting Of the Council, Is it did before, not
withstanding the recommendation of the Council
that the two New York churches should continue
fellowship with Plymouth Church, because the
latter made concessions in matter OF church
form. II, after the Council has left it optional
with Drs, storrs and Burlington to demand An
investigation OF the charge against Mr. Theodore
Tlton, they continnein fellowship With Plymouth
Church without making the demand, what did
they call the Council for?

| The most surprising statement made by !Dr.
Curtis, however, is that every porson is produc"
ing alcohol in his own still, uaemuch as late re-
searches make it more than probable that cor-
tain amount of alcohol Is regularly formed IN the

and secretions Of animals and men who have
! taken no alcoholic drink for years.
virtual Endorsement Of DR.. Curtis theories
| may be found in the fifth annual report OF the
Massachusetts, Board OF Health. In the paper
| on Preventive Medicine, DR.. Bo"ditch, Chair
man Of the Board says:
Under judicious guidance, wine, and even
stronger liquor, may be occasionally used by the

These facts invest the temperance question
with novel interest. Tho old theory that alcohol
is IN absolute poison, and therefore is not only
worth1eas in the system, but destructive to it,
has been the foundation, and, at the same time,
tho stumbing-block, Of tho temperance move
ment for years. II, however, it shall eventuato
that alcohol is, within certain limits. force
producing food, capable Of Strengthening and
nou1ishing tho body, and that it is natural
production Of the animal economy, then the
theory OF the total abstinence advocates OF
course is oyerthrown. As the theories aanounc-
ed by Dr.. Curtis, and practically applied by Dr..
Bowditch, will be critically examined by other au-
thorities, there is no reason why temperance peo-
plo should be alarmed; and, as the question
is purely scientific one, there is no reason
for them to be alarmed even If Dr.. Curtis theo-
ries should be proven true, unless tho cause Of
temperance can he endangered By the truth. On
the other hand, there is no reason why we'll
man should take to drinking whisky because al
cohol may be food. 1t may be added that, since
the publication OF DR.. Curtis letter, some ether
New York physicians have expressed their views.
DR.. Meredith Clymer considers alcohol doubt
ful food, and Al agent enormously abused as
medicine. DR.. a. L. Carroll regards it as the
lowest food among tho hydrocarbons. Dr..
Willard Parker, President Of the Now York State
1nobriate Asylum, says it is food at all but is

DR.. William L. Hammond considers it as an ac-

Those who have doubted that there are two
turning to the two communications On the Tenn
perance Crusade, printed in another part Of this
paper. Each OF these is written by pure, vir
tuous, and religious woman. Yet one is the
very antithesis OF the other. One approvos, the
other dieapprove7. in the most decided manner.
Each bears evidence OF themost sincere and con-
scientious convictions Both express the fond
est hope for temperance and social reform, bu.
one believes that the means adopted Is radically
wrong while the other is as surely convinced
that it ia God-giyen and mandatory. The lady
writer's, both pious and feryid, do not hesitate,
nevertheless, to question the emotivos Of their op-
ponents: and it. would probably be impossible
to convince either that there is not some horrid
tion Of the other. Each, in her generosity, might
look With pity rather than contempt upon
tue other, and both could readily trace
fundamental errors in tue education OF each 9TH
er which would charitably account for moral
defects in character that might otherwise have
been admirable. As it ia, they can meet upon
no common ground; neither Of them will admit
that there is s common ground to meet upon.
The conjunction OF these two letters is sample
Of the force which strong convictions and con-
troye1sial habits are exercising at the present
day. The cl2sh of arms ia heard in religion,
politics, society; and every new occurrence con-
8picuQus enough to attract the attontion Of the
people is tho sigual for new battle.

desire to keep sacred the communion between

lar respect 1or prayer By SO misdrecting it IS to
