"A fact has come to our notice thai
deserves record. A certain saloon
keeper in this city has been laborine
with an unfortunate inebriate to for
sake his cups and join the I. Of Hon
or, and he has taken special pains tc
talk with one of the Temple boys tc
bring about that result. He says he
likes to take in money for his goods
but he hates to see a man go straight
to hell through strong drink. Such
conduct is certainly commendablc. II
does honor to those engaged in the
traffic-G. Il. Tribune,
"And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn
Assembly for Baal. And they pro.
claimed it.
And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the
son of Rechab, into the house of Baal,
and said unto the worshipers of Baal,
search and look that there be here with
you none Of the servants of the Lord,
but the worshippers of Baal only.
And they smote them with the edge
of the sword and the guard and the
captains east them out. and went 10
the city of the house of Baal.
And they brought forth the images
out of the house of Baal, and burned
them.
Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out OF
Israel
Howbeit, from the sins Of Jerebran,
the son of Nebat, aoho made Israel to
a0in. Jehu departed not from, after
them to-,oit, the golden calces that pCere
IN Bethel, and that aCere an Dan"
We can have but little faith In that
