INDIA STREET CHURCH.
The pastor of the India Street Universalist
church, Rev. George w. Bicknell, delivered, in
the evening, at the request of the committee
from the Temperance Associations in this city,
a discourse on temperance. 1t was the most
radical one we have heard, full OF strong auo
sound views on the matter OF selling as wen as
drinking He was for thetfull and street en-
forcement of the prohibtory law; upon hl2h
places as well as low, and would have the pun
ishment by imprisonment. so that the rich
dealer could not escape by paying fine, while
the poor dealer, from inability opay is sent to
iail. The greatest hindrance to the cause is
the genteel, moderate drinkers, and christian
suasion should be brought to bear upon them.
The churches were not earnest in the cause
and failed to educate the people up to a proper
standard upon the subject. The fault Of the
non-entor cement of the law was not altogether
with the sheriffs and marshals. buff more with
the churches who failed to offer the support
andlencouragementt to the officers to strictly ex-
ecute the law, that it was their duty to do.
The discourse was able and eloquent and
should be repeated, not only in the City han,
but in every city and town in the state Wneie
intoxicating liquors are Sold 1t was pleasant
to notice SO large a congregation last evening.

borne in mind that the liver the kidneys, the ntes-

the evil not arrested will be chronic and probably
fatal disease somewhere 1t may be developed in
