Union Temperance Services In Market Hall
Rev. DR.. Cuyler the Chief Speaker.
The spacious Market hall was crowded on last ev-
ening to its utmost capacity. The service as was
announced one week ago was to be gospel tenn
perance meeting and the further announcement by
the SUNDAY GLOBE that the Rsy. DR.. Theodore L.
Cuyler, of Brooklyn, would address the meeting,
added much Interest to the meeting.
Upon the platform besides the Young Mems
Christian association choir were g. L. Hilman, or
ganist, in charge Of the music, assisted by j. A.
Sealey the violin, Nathan Ford in charge Of the
meeting, the reverend speaker already named, Rev
Thomas 4. Cree, travelling secretary of the Interna-
tiopal Young Mems Christian association commit ee
and Rev B F. Msclaren, Of the Central Preeby.

singing $50, sing Of his Mighty Love-" followed by
prayer by the Rev. r. r. Maclaren.
RESCUE athe Pershing'' was then sung when
Mr. Ford presented DR.. Ouyler to the audience.
The personal appearance Of the renowned gentle
man was calm and dignifed and his utteralces clear
and ringing. BE said he came up to Minnesota for
q little needed rest and relaxation. Twenty-three
years ago he had been the guest Of the ST. Paul z.
NJ. @. A., and he would be false to himself and
creant duty If he failed to respond to their invi-
tation to address this audience on the subject Of
gospel temperance. He was asked to speak ten
minutes. Like the numberess lakes and
boundless prairies of Minnesota the subject
was too broad for q ten minutes review.
The east now turned to the west with longing eyes
He loved the wind from the mighty west. He used
to look to the east to the Pine Tree state, for
SEPARATION in the temperance work, but from the
plains Of Kansas last fall came temperance greet
ing and now from the prairies of Iowa came the
same joyful sound. Save the west and you save the
nation save the nation and you save the world. Some
would ask why DO s1n have Temperance meeting on
gave for healing on the Sabbath day. There was no
sickness disease than the disease Of inte-
perance. The nation had been saved from the peril
brought upon it by the great evil Of slavery by one
quarter of million of lives sacrificed. The peril we
are now in as nation is the peril Of intemperanee.
Drunkenness against God, our neighbors and our
selves.
He would not have the temperance workers ex-
haust their time and energy on the old veteran
topers altogether, as their success was always small
Save the boys and the next generation would save
themselves Go up the stream and begin at the
fountain head. Save the young men; they sre the
most hopeful cases and the most worth saving.
He who never drinks can never become drunk
ard. This a simple proposition but q true one,
and he would give it to the young men tonight as
the only cafe one to follow.
Why does any one drink?
1st-To satisfy appetite. Alcohol creates taste
for more and more. Beef, bread and milk were
self terminating in their character. Not alcohol.
The one drank the more they desired to drink.
With some the appetite WAS hereditary. he was
led to organize q temperance society in his church
many years ago from learning that man had to be
helped from his knees while leading family worship
totally inebrated. For four generations the curse
had followed that mans family.
Fashion caused many to drink, and he related
several amusing and instructive anecdotes on this
point
All poison has its channel and objective point
when taken into the human system. OF alcohol II
was the brain; that organ did it direct its
as certainly as the hound pursues the hare. When
it strikes the brain it strikes the conscience, when
body and soul meet and this makes it the duty of the
Christian church to war against intemperance.
He would put the principles of temperance not
only into civil affairs but in the pulpit, into the
school, into the family. If you put demijohn into
the pulpit il would be apt to trckle out into every
pew. In the family was the first and best place to
put temperance principles. He thanked God that
his mother obeyed the Injunction Of Solomon by
giving him q thorough castigation for tampering
with liquor once when q boy, and he sometimes
thought the best part of good mother was her slip
per. The work of the Y M. @. A. was good and
glorious one. They we're frightening the ladder for
others to ascend to the path Of truth and right with
their own bodies. He illustrated the remark with
the account Of a rescue of sailors from burning
building by one who held ladder upon his shout
dsrs while standing upon the top of another ladder
He excited frequent applause by his earnest elo-
quence and was very attentivey listened to through
out.
The meeting closed with sirg ng the doxology, a
prayer by Thos. Cochran, Jr, and benedicton by
Rev. r. F. Maclaren.
Evening service again next Sabbath.
