Going down to the river, where two worlds

For the great reward and the good Of man,
For the kingdom and crown of God.

ICOMMUN.CATED.

Editor Home journal:
DEAR SIR:-In this weeks Home
journal you give, among the editorials
on the second page, an extract from
the Murfreesbo.o News az follows:
"Thc young man who has t" de
pend on the aimsy expedient Of an
oath to keep himself sober, is trusting
to very slender support. He who
hiuds himself with an oath to perform
a moral tnty surrenders his manhood
As this embodies the objection that
has generally been urged against the
temperance pledge, We wish to present
through your valuable columns brief
declaration ofprinc'plcs in reply.
The object Of the Temperance Reform
is, the prevention and cure Of intern
perance.
The principle Of the Reform is. tota
abstinence; experience having shown
that total abstinence is the only saft
practice Tor the Individual, and the on
ly safe example, in its influence on 9th
crs. The means by which the object
of the Reform is sought to be accom-
plished are ,hreefold:-"Special edu'
cation, associated example, and lega
prohibition" This involves 0rgan'za
ton; and temperance organization
for the object named, Involves pledge
The purpose Of pledge has been
set forth by prominent temperance ads
vocstcs as fourfold:-
LIST. As the expression Of q conviction
or truth.
81. The declaration Of a purpose
81. The utterance of a protest,
4lh. As a bond Of sympdthetic union
or cooperation.
From the standpoint the pledge must
commend itself 10 every lover OF TEN
perance in the land.
In conclusion it is true, tina! the
young man who depends simply on the
pledge to. keep him sober. is trusting
10 "slcndcr support But it is not
true that "He who buds himself with
an oath to perform moral duty SUR
renders his manhood"
When the Chief Magistrate OF thi,
Republic. or the Judges Of our Court,
take the oath OF office, do they thereby
sure nlcr their manhood? Do they
require men to surrender their man.

giance, or serve on jury7 Is thu

that such u position can only he main
