Another gate of hell, and the chief
gate, and as wide as all the Others put
together, is the gate Of alcoholic bever-
age. On the night OF exploration ]
found that everything was done under
the enchantment OF the wine-cup.
That was what th. mattresses carried
on the platter; that was what glowed
on the tables; that was one OF the chief
attractions Of the illuminated gardens;
that staggered the steps OF patrons as
they went out. The wine cup is the
instigator OF al! impurity and the pa.
trOn of all uncleanness. So far as God
may help me | shall he its amending
foe. 1t was the testimony of the Off
Gals on the night OF our exploration
that nearly all those who frequent the
houses Of death go in intoxicated.
The mental and spiritual abolished,
the brute ascendant. Tell me young
man drinks, and know all the rest.
Let him become captive OF the wine
cup, and he is the captive of all other
vices. No man ever runs drunkenness
alone. That is one of the carriOn
crows that goes in flock. lfthat beak
is ahead you may know the other beaks
follow. In others words, strong drink
unbalanc"s and dethroues, and makes
him the prey Of all appettes that
choose to alight upon his soul. There
is not piece Of sin on this continent
but fluids its chief abettor in the places
OF inebri-ty. There is a drinking-bar be
fore it, or bar behind it, or a bar over
it, or bar under il. The officer said
to me hat night, "iou see how they
escape legal penalty; they are licensed
to sell liquor"
Then / thought within myself, the
court which licenses the sale Of intoxi
eating liquors, licenses gaming houses,
licenses lib-rtinsm, licenses diseases.
licenses death, licenses all crimes, all
sutferings, all disasters, all woes. 1t
is the legislature and courts who
swing wide open This grinding, roaring,
stupendous gate of the lost. But you
say you have shown us how these
gates swing in to allow entrance for

Friday, April 3, A. b. 33, on which
day there was an eclipse OF the moon, if
the calculation of Professor Lutterback
are to he relied upon, As it would seem
they are. The matter has before this
attracted attention. A year or SO ago
Professor Brahus Of Leipsic announced
definitely that there was such an
eclipse. The well known German as
trouomer Professor Lutterback took the
matter in hand, and in published
letter;o Professor Brahus: written early
last summer says:

to you that had II exactly calculated
