OPINIONS OF COMPETENT MEN.--Rev. Jos.
G. Foster says-We are partakers of other
same sins, and thus by our example and intiu-
ence encourage them to sin. And the same
is true when we place temptations in the way
of others SO as to be the means of leading
them astray. And when we authorize the
sins of others and fail to restrain them, we
are also partakers of their sins. To sanction
the sins of others by allowing them to 20 I'M
rebuked and unchecked, is to share in tn
guilt of the sins thus tolerated and virtually
If not actually licensed.
These considerations apply with all their
force to the use and sale of whatever intoxi-

is wrong, and yet tolerates 1t which attempts
only to check and regulate it, without utterly
prohibiting it; which aims to derive a reve-

Professor Liebig, land there is no higher
authority says of Bavarian beer, which is
considered the most nutritious and best =
We can prove with mathematical certainty
that as much -four as can lie on the point of a
table-knife is more nutritious than eight
quarts of the best Bavarian beer that a per-
son who is able to consume daily that amount
two gallons) OF beer obtains from it in whole
year, in the most favorable case, exactly the
amount of nutritive constituents which is
contained in a ive-pound loaf of bread or in
three pounds Of Hesh." That is, in $50 gall
Ions 1.-TWO gallons per day for year, there is
no more nutriment than there is in three
pounds of flesh" Think of man drinking
730 gallons for this morsel of food - AS
he would use with other food as many as $50
pounds of meat annually, then he must drink
| fifty times 730 gallons in order to obtain in
one year as much nutrition as he does from
his meat, which is 3G,500-equal to about
three barrels per day Z!

1T won't, mother. No, no, no can't

wretched youth turned his haggard face to-
