THERE is no visible enemy that
comes up SO boldly, attacks so sue
cessfully, and binders so unceasing-
" the church's work, as intcmper
ance. Az home We find it weaken
ing the Church's strength, robbinS
it of its members, hardening many
hearts, making the Gospel of none
effect, scdncing the young, keeping
many thousands beyond the reach of
ChriStidn influences, and erecting a
threatening mass Of the most harden
ing heathensm in the midst OF our
brightest and most active Christians
~. Abroad, far remote from us and
from each other we find similar re-
suits. The missionary has to fight
not only against the natural toes OF
the Gospel which he finds in possess
ion of the heather field, but against
their powerful oily, strong drink,
which protesting Christians actuated
by the greed OF gain, send forth also
to the field. Have these facts no
voice for christian men and for the
christien church at homef How
comes it that wherever we send the
Gospel, to India, Africa, and the
South Seas, or elsewhere, strong
drink and its attendant evils are al
ways sentY 1t is because our own
drinking customs and our own
drink-traffic 60. Until they are
abandoned at home, they cannot be
abolished successfully or consistently
abroad, and the conclusion seems
obvious. that all who sincerely and
earnestly desire to aid the cause of
Christ prosperity either st home or
abroad, ought to shut the gates and
unsheath the sword against this enc
my, ought to give their adherence
10 the temperance cause.

A GREAT many of the families of

A GREAT many of the families of
our town are now putting up bran
died fruits. We want 10 make a
solemn protest. The devil has too
many DISCUSSES already and we re.
sret that the hands of mothers and
sisters ever prepare so insidious a
foe TO the temperance cause. The
barroom is kept continually supplied
with customers led there by an app
petite first formed at home.
We have heard of a man who took
a pledge to abstain from liquor as a
beverage who soaked the usual
glass in a slice of light bread and
ate it. You will say readily enough
that he violated his pledge just as
much as if he had drank it. If you
are putting wine and brandy be-
tween pie crusts or in fruit you are
taking your liquor with as much
guilt as if the same amount had been
drank at a bar-room counter.
Mothers, shall your sons 90 down
to drunkards graves Shall the sup
port on which you fondly hope to lean
in old age be taken from you and a
bloated, raving imbecile put in his
place I Then we beg you. do not
put the temptation to his lips in its
most attractive forms-do not hide
it under the innocent guise Of a pie
or peach. Home ought to be a
place of perfect purity and safety.
Alcohol is dangerous and demoraliz>
ing.

THE moderate drinker seems like
one walking a narrow plank over "
deep gorge.
If steady of eye and nerve he walks
comparatively secure if feeble, he
totters aud is gone. Thousands are
going on the plank, when near by
is broad bridge, its foundation OF
stone, room enough for all, and
every passenger secure. How dare
You walk the narrow plank when
others not so strong are following
you and falling! The broad bridge
is total abstinence the plank, mod
crate drinking. The one hundred
and fifty thousand drunkards of
the United States we're all moderate
drinkers at one time. Let him that
thinketh he standeth take heed lest
he fall.

Ir is a violation of State law to
give or sell whisky to an intoxicated
man, and yet last week Marietta had
on her streets a man who was given
a pint of brandy if he would drink it
ali at once. He drank il, and the
poor man fell insensible to the earth,
q british beast, and would have
died if he had not of bad kind atten-
tion.

THE Emperor of China told our
Ambassador, in reference to the
opium trade, that he would never
consent to derive revenue from the
vices of his people, but then he is
only "heathen :" and civilized and

derives over S90,000,00Q from the
vices of its inhabitants.

WE saw, the other day, servant
step out of the back door of one OF
the barr Of our town, and, with
bottle carefully hid in an inside
pocket of his coat, take a back street
on his way to a home where rum has
placed his blight, The efforts of
friends to save this man have been
of no avail. Bar keepers will sell
liquors and it matters little to them
whose soul it ruins if the cash goes
into their pockets. How long will
a christian community tolerate this
terrible traffic
