The Summer travel on the Lake Champ

Captain Rushlow of the good steamer Yer

substantially as follows;
MISS wuIAID's ADDRESS.
We read of Il wise philosopher who lost
his way in forest. After some aimess
wandcrings he saw through the darkness Il
light which he hoped came from some
friendly habitation. Making his way thither
he found Il log hut. Whether or not to
cross its threshold was the next question :;
hut finally he did cross it and found himself
alone in the house. On Il table was Il
book, which, when he saw he seated
himself as calmly rs though he was
in an inn or at the house of brother, and
awaited unmovcd the return Of his host.
That book was a Bible. am to speak to-
night of societies which have been formed
by scores, by hundreds, nay, by almost
thousands, throughout the country. These
societies are founded ON the Bible. Their
first plank is Love workcth no i'll to its
neighhors; Love is the fulfilling of the
laws - II would not eat meat or drink wine
or do anything by which my brother STUN
bleth or is offended" dc not see how
there can be any difference of opinion ON
the question of total abstinence. Suppose
the worst drunkard in the city should stand
here now, what would We say To him
What hut this 'rrhOu art moi Il sinner
above all the Galilcans. The stamp of the
demon is on thy face But if the demon of
pride, of ayarcc, OF ambition, should set
his seal upon orr faces who OF
us would appear guiltlcss? We will
make common cause with You. Your
signature 10 this total abstinence pledge
shall not he 4 brand of sin and shame but
kindly token OF Il common cause. Thus we
have been speaking all over the land in the
last few years and how many manly hearts
have responded To this invocation. This
is the basis of our total abstinence
work The method of our work is found in
the story of woman who tool, the heaven and
put it in three places till all We're leavened.
We go out to the lame, the halt and the
blind. We plant on the Rock of Ages the
feet long gone astray in slippery places.

Years. | remember that many years ago my
