|. BY legal crime. We mean crime per.
petrated by law Argument IL not
necessary to show that the lsE OF God Is
the law of Happiness 70 the world. aud
God holds nations responsible for 1t, on
their own account - well rs Tor his own
glory. Where much Is gwen much Is
required. La the light OF this truth il.
becomes US 10 inquire Are we guilty
at any point?" fear weare at various
points | am sure we are, teariully, ut
QUO point. Lega!ized Misunderstanding
is the SIN of America TO day, ana when
the Declaration of lndep ndcnce st
forth life rs an unalienable right, 1t but
reiterated a truth enumerated by the
Bible ages before. Chou shalt not
kill" says the decalogue, and yet
our government licenses men TO do aoth
ing less than this, To kill by the
hundrecs of thousands. Ii commissions
men 10 make slaves without stint or re-
Stralnt. L. commissions men To- spread
misery n d woe, for time and eternity.
This crime is aggravated by the fact
that II committed by a government
which Is n government of the people, and
is therefore sin of the people
= What is the cure. |. Not indiiIer-
ence. The enemies of Sooriety are the
enemies OF God and humanity, md they
are banded together they have published
their purpose to uproot Bible morality
from the land, and they mean to do what
they say if they CAD. 1t Is for Us TO say
they shall not, and to DO this. we must
be up and at work. 2. We must Use
legal sS well as moral sua,ion. A dragon
is at work in the politics OF tn" country,

Demand sober men, men pledged against

legiance to the liquor curse, ana make
YOUR declaration OF Independence good

of the Lord shall cover the earth even as
the waters cover the channel of the great
deep But this cannot be achieved IN.
til this drunkeDness and that which pro-
notes IT. the license system, sre removed,
and removed they shall be. The dragon
shall be taken and cast in the lake OF

Quite number Of those living in town
and having tents on the ground are
moving in homo this afternoon, and
several of those living in the country
neighborhood are psckIr = up their turnI
ture preparatory TO lesvlng AS soon as
the services close TO night.
Several Of the ministers, DR.. ReIlsy
among the number, visited the peniten-
tlsry and preached to the convicts, since
the camp meeting commenced.
To the ministers and members Of the
association l take this opportunity of
rendering my thanks tor many courte-
sizes shown me during the progress OF the
meeting; also TO the many kind friends.
especially Mrs. a. j. Martin, Mrs. &. {,
Mathews, j. L. Roberts and that mother
" Old soul Aunt Jane Lockwood, who
so generously and cordially invited ne
to visit their tents and psrLake o. their
hospitality. Such evidences OF good viii
go far toward convincing one that there
is still left some Christian charity IN
der the sun" J. L. h.
