HOLMES Co. S. s. UNION.-To the
Vice Presidents of Townships in Holmes
county, greeting:
DEAR BRETHREN,-Thet time has now
arrived when we should wake up from
the slumbers of winter incident to
country sabbath schools, and renew
with all diligence our efforts to instruct
and save the youth of our country
from the pleasing snares of vice. and
the obstruction of sin, and bring them
to an acquaintance with the truth, as it
is in Jesus, through united sunday
school labor in every available means,
consistent with the teaching of Gods
Word.
The abundant success which has
crowned your efforts in this direction
calls for increased confidence in God
and enlarged labors for the salvation OF
the youth in the entire country.
Blanks for S. S. Reports will be sent
to each Vice President for the several
schools in his Township at an early day
and we hope that a full report of each
and every school in the county will be
sent in to the Corresponding Secretary
as early as the first of May 1874. This
brethren is necessary in order to giving
a full report Of the county at our next
annual convention.

Plain Questions,

To be dnsrered By Liquor Sellers a
their leisure.
Is 1t right to commit murder:
Statistics shew that 5000 people die
every year in our country from the eff.
fects of strong drink. Who are re.
sponsible for these lives?
Is itright to steal? "a
Every dime you take for drinks
brings the victim SO much nearer pow
erty, and takes the bread from the
mouths of starving wives and children.
Is it right to blaspheme?
Every drop Of liquor you sell tends to
fre the brain of the poor inebriate, and
eau ses him to take the name of his Ged
in vain, and pour out blasphemy against
his Maker. FF ~
Is it right to cause men to sin?
When the brain is crazed with liquor,
men are guilty of actions that in their
sober moments they would shudder to
commit.
Do you think it honorable to make
men drunk?
Dc you think it honorable to bring
poverty and ruin upon families?
\ IS It right to destroy the peace OF
families Z ne rs ysyqsY4
Is it right to make fiends of men?
rs itright to rake mans reason from

Is it right to make your fellow-man

Why engage in a traffic that your
own conscience tells you is debasing?

Song of the Decanter.

There was an old decan-
ter, and its mouth was gap
ing wide; the rosy
wine had ebbed
away and
left its
crystal

and the wind
went humming,
humming;
up and
down the
sides it flew;
and through the
reed-like
hollow neck
the widest notes on it
blew. ! placed it OH the
window where the blast
was blowing free; and fan
cied that its pale mouth sang
the equeerest strains to me. "They
tell me, puny conquerers the
Plague has slain his ten and War his
hundred thousands of the very best
ofmen; but /, ,"'twas thus the bot
tie spOke-"but have conquer

COMPROMISED ?)-Parties protesting to
be very much interested in the cause of
Temperance, and who are never at meet
ings in the interests of the cause, and
whose influence is unfortunately on
the other side, have been proposing to
compromise, by getting temperance peo-
pie to abate their efforts, and with them
urge the candidates of the "Whisky
Ticket" to vigorously execute the exist
ing laws, ,and to comply with the petition
that is to be gotten up by the whisky
ring, to so strenuously protect the sane
tity of the Holy Sabbath and unmitigat-
ingly punish the saloon keeper who
shall dare to sell a known drinking man
a glass of ale or lager, &c. &c. What we
want to know, is, do those candidates if
elected expect to take the oath of office,
or do their constituents select them with
the understanding that they are not to
regard their obligations, and hoe mach
that sis to Je'' petition is worth.

SPRING MILLINERY. The wholesale

Temperance or Whisky?

The issue at the approaching munich
pal eleetionis not a political but NOR
al one. Webster says that the term DO
litical pertains. ''to a STATE, i'm distinc-
ton from 4 city or municipality" To
look after the interests of the State and
the nation, the great political parties
were organized, and to drag them into
local elections degrades those parties
and those who prostitute them to suit
vile purposes. Nor is it an uncommon
thing that local elections hinge upon
some question of morality or sxpedi-
ency, having local application.
Can the enemies of the Temperance
cause, who alone would drag this ques-
tion into politics, tell us what political
question is to be solved by this election?
Is any question on which the two po-
litical parties differ to be decided? Af-
ter this election as before, those who
were Democrats will be Democrats still;
these who were Republicans will be Re-
publicans still. In Chicago, recently,
the Sunday law was the question to be
decided without reference to party pol
itics.
The question to be decided by us is,
not what shall be the political relations
of the men to be voted for. for all be-
long to the same political party. The
question IS, Shall the Nc Conaelsrille Or
dindncc (Which is published in another
column) be passed and enforced or shall it
notP The Temperance candidates are
pledged to pass and enforce it-while
the others, If not in word or writing are
tacitly pledged not to do so.
The question each voter is to solve in
his own mind is, whether he desires
dran-shops still to be kept open in our
town, Turing our. young men to destruc-
tion, or whether he desires them closed
forever. If he wants them closed, he
will vote for these pledged to the pas
sage Of the ordinance referred to. If
the reverse, he will vote for the other
candidates.

they may be seen by men. Verify l

Let your women keep silence in the
churches, for it is not permitted unto
them to speak; but they are commanded
to be kept under obedience,as also saith

thing, let them ask their husbands at
home, for it is shame for women to
speak in church.
