PRESIDENT HULBERT's ADDRESS.
The speaker took for his text Mark xiv
I 5, 6 and s.
e The speaker proceeded to review the cir
cumstances and events amid which tn
scene occurred which forms the subject TO
the text. He dwelt at length upon tn
j hostility which the act of Mary provoked
e and the winning and tranquil deportmen
of Mary under all this storm of hostlit
which stirred the depths OF pandimoniur
itself.
t A few lessons of instruction are here en-
: forced upon our attention, which l wi
ask you to make note, as we advance I
apply the text to the special theme of thi
| occasion.
D woMAN's WORK IN THE TEMPERANCE RE
5 FORM.
} First-We are here taught that love t
e Christ is q costly grace. 1t involves pei
: sonal sacrifice and in gifts that are "ver
n precious" its motto is IL will not offer unit
\ the Lord that which costs me nothing"
/, Second-We are assured In this sam
Y connection that when such expenditures ar
f made, they will provoke the worlds hos
8 tility. Malgners will expose their indigna
+ ton in Judas angry inquiry, "Why is a
/, this waste?' AS they do not appreciat
:, the Redeemer, SO they do not appreciat
4 his people, or their methods of service
G but
Q Third-Thc worlds hostility is imps
+ tent tho odor Of the alabaster box whic
$ they broke upon the Redeemer will nc
only fill all the house where they are sii
n ting but all the world in which they ar
working and be memorial of the acaste1
. in every cline. Christ will appear an
n ebundantly vindcate all who are engage
|
n to extend his glory.
: Accepting now these lessons of instruc
/. ton and approaching the difficulties IN
l. prosecutions which they must cucumber i
J. their comparatively new work, the chris
# tian women of our country have ~ 81.
n with remarkable generalness against Ia
q liquor traffic, and in some of its aspects tn
a movement. is morally sublime. TIL
speaker reviewed the hostility which III
movement produces, ahd called attentio
to the fact that their work would neve
stand half-built, moulding pile to GLIB
their imbecility or mock their aspiration
G They have counted the cost, and are boun
to succeed In their noble work.
There cannot be any cessation of hosti
% tiles until the rum traffic, the most revol
Z. ing tyranny that ever cursed the race, is n
more. He referred to the women of OF
g country being the chief sufferers from til
q rum traffic, and supported his point by nj
merous statistics and apt illustrations, an
made, as his second statement, that ii
- American woman have reached in the CT
circulating experience point when forbea
ance ceases to be virtue.
:, Finally: This movement of the wome
Al of our country is justified, not only on Il
g grounds that they are the portion of tn
community especially sggricved, and hay
been forced to account forbearance no 10,
le ger virtue, but also from the conside
J. alton that it is characterized by spirit {
+ pure benevolence in the interests of suffe
ing humanity.
The speaker closed his discourse with
r most eloquent and powerful appeal to II
NJ ladies to exert their greatest efforts in tn
= reform. He closed amid much applause
