"A Temperance meeting was held at
the Methodist church last Sunday even
ing. A large gathering of people as
sembled Ia listen to the excellent dis
course by Rev. J. A. Freeman, pastor Of
the Congregational church of this city.
His text was Ezekiel 3:lS.
when ] say with the wicked thou
shalt surely die and thou givest him not
warning nor speakest To warn the wicked
from his wicked way to save his life.
The same wicked man shall die in his
iniquity, but his blood will require at
thine hand"
The speaker stated that the response
bility laid upon the church to warn
men in regard to their wickedness that
the particular subject for this hour was
the evil connected with the use of in
toXicating liquors except for mechanical
and medicinal purposes, and the respon-
sibility OF the church in regard TO this.
He continued by saying that the use
Of intoxicating liquors is unjust to those
who do not use them, since they must
bear the expense in dollars and cents OF
the results Of intemperance. 1t de-
stroys the manhood Of those who sell
and of those who buy; it destroys the
happiness Of home and ruins number.

person can tell but that his son may be
the next victim.
1t goes hand in hand with othel
wrong doing. The laws of God and
man are set at naught by the liquor
seller and the liquor buyer. 1t entails
weakness and ruin upon succeeding
generations.
The speaker then asked this pertinent
question What can the church and al
who are interested in their fellow-meI
do about it They can show on wha
side they stand, for or against this ter
rible evil. They can educate public
opinion in regard to the matter. Ther
