Monthly, vigorously defends the crusade
against the rum-sellers and censures Arch
bishop Purcell of Cincinnati, for condemn
ing the praying mode of warfare. He says
..What, in Gods dear NAME was there left
them to do but just what they are doing, and
what you condemn? The whole business has
been left to God and the women, and the
latter are praying in the churches and in the
streets, and pushing on their divine and
peaceful crusade, because the men of America
have failed to do their duty. Shall Chris
tian man, in high station or low, lift his voice
against them !? / tremble to think of the
stumbling-block which you in your circular
have placed before the tempted and deceived.

whisky seller in the country who does not ap-
prove of it, and feel easier in his business for
