For the Freeman.

Thirty years ago or more, some will re-
member,therc was held in the Free Church
series of religious meetings conducted by
i noted revivalist, with one or two assist
ants. After long continued presentation
of s. the truth" rs the preacher believed it
to be. :" in Christ Jesus" followed by faith
full eXhortation and earnest entreaty to
sinners to turn from their . w ckcd ways
and live he announced that having done
all that he could TO persuade them to enter
the kingdom of heavcn,to such us were still
obdurate, his closing sermon should be
addressed, and that should show them
- the way to hell
This, to some Of the class, who, accord
ing to the preachers judgment were
already travelling the " broad road that
leads to dc.,th'i seemed over-rcachin@-
and they complained of it as monopolzing
their rights, and declared that no minister
of tie gospel OF Christ was called to show
sinners the way to hell. But there could
be no doubt of the sincerity of the evangel-
lists purpose, and none can tell but that
purpose was in some measure gained by
this positive picture Of the evil way he
would have them shun.
These incidents were recalled, by Il
recipe, nlrutiscd quite obscurely, in last
weeks ArguS o}ld Patriot. showing how
not to help advance the cause of temper
ancc, and how most etfectually to promote
the continuance and spread Of intemper-
ance.
For these purposes, this recipe nor any
other is n, edcd in this vicinity, but the
real inteH cannot fail TO be perceived.
Reading it, the opposers of temperance
reform must see themselves AS in Il glass
10! darhly," but face to face with the
conviction of their wrong doing.
| No more valuable work can be done for
temperance than to give the . Recipe a
CONSPICUOUS place in print and the broad
est circulation.
