The Temperance Meeting.-Re7

The Temperance Meeting.-Rev.
Jesse Cole delivered a telling sermon
at the VI. E. Church on Sabbath eve
nirg of last week, against inte1nperance
and its attendant evils. He chose as
his text, the cry of Demetrius, when
Paul, preaching the living God to the
Ephesians-end angered the worship Of
the Temple of Diana and the making
Of silver shrines, causing Demetrius to
exclaim: "By this craft we obtain our
wealth" The speaker with powerful
effect drew an analogous picture, show
ing how the rum seller, the politician,
men in high position, common councils
and officers generally are like Deme-
trius declaring ''by this craft we
obtain our wealth and Sur position"
and therefore they continue in the
traffic, and dare not oppose a system
that is Increasing the taxes, destroying
property, devastating hearthstones,
making paupers, and doing the Devils
work GENERALLY and nothing good.
The house was crowded to its utmost
capacity, many standing in the vesti-

have been satisfied. They now have
gone back to the no license system by

the amount of liquor is consumed un-

further, that better order reigns, and
that a better society and purer morals
are the result as has been proven by
experience.
