The Rayages OF Rum.

For nearly two weeks in the daily prayer
meetings there was presented as sub
ject for prayer the case of young lawyer,
the only son of a pious mother, who had
from his birth prayed for his conversion
A young man Of ability and standing, but
the victim of the intoxicating cup. Alas,
the demon of drink, like death, of which it
is the type and the precursor, loves a shining
mark. One day the leader of the meeting,
in reiterating the request, remarked that
the young lawyer was not the only marked
and distinguished victim of intemperance.
Within a few days. he said, man who had
been minister of the gospel, and who had
preached deliverance from sin to captives,
had been seen drunk in our streets and had
to be helped to his lodgings. This was no
unheard of thing, for many such cases are
on record but coming up as it did in such
a connection, it made deep impression.
Can ministers of the gospel be silent, when
this destroyer of human happiness takes the
ambassadors OF Christ from the sacred pull
pit and casts them into the gutter Can
respectable and good men plead for the priv.
ilege of moderite drinking when it leads to
such results Can Christian people be 81
lent and inactive, when this pestilence that
walketh in darkness, and this destruction
that wasteth at monday is doing its fearful
work on every side2 Professional men
business men, fair women, little children
are all alike falling prey to the ravages Of
rum. Why are there not more references tc
it in the pulpit, more prayers offered in pub
lie and in private, more efforts not only K
reclaim the fallen but to secure and preserve
those who have not as yet fallen 1t is moi
the only social evil that curses society, but
it is the most gigantic and fearful Watch

Blood Money.

There was time when some good Chris
tian people went 80 far az TO say they would
not support the grandest foreign missionary
organization in the whole world because
some Of its revenue was sent by men and
women whose money came from the unpaid
toll of the negro. They said, Rather than
do this we will have a new society :" and
they created one. There was a time when
our national emblem was scoffed at as
Haunting lie by some of our most worthy
citizens because it floated over 100000 Of
men, women aud children who had no rights
that white people were bound to respect.
There was time when the United States
marshal, like foul bird of prey, lowered
over the poor, flying fugitive, whose soul was
drawn northward by the star of freedom
which God had set in the heavens. But the
time never was when the United States ex-
acted revenue from every Shareholder, as
such from every slave-driver and slave.

American government never had any such

has with the traffic in alcoholic liquors

| don with which it assails the life and health
and peace and comfort and thrift of the pri
vate citizen,-I say there is not dollar
coined in this business but the government
takes its share, clips off one-fifth of it to pay
its own legitimate expenses. And our chiei
executive, and our senators, and our mem
bars of congress, and our judges, all of them
are compelled to receive their proportion OF

they get $4,000, $1,000 of it is derived il

and by that mean the people, for they are
the government-has direct completely

salaries, the completely of her officials is in

compensation for service rendered-they ar,
obliged to take money that is blood-money
that has been coined out of the tears and sor
rows aud grief of poor humanity.
A distinguished gentleman and friend o
temperance the other day gave the following
statistics: For the year ending June, 1881
the total receipts of the United States treas
ury from all sources were about 1865 100000

the chickens to feed, the cows to milk aud

DIR. Guthrie.

The following anecdote illustrates how
thoroughly the late Dr. Guthrie's holy life
and efforts to raise the fallen had impressed
even the lewd fellows of the baser sort In
Glasgow number of low drunkards were
making remarks not at all complimentary
to ministers, when one of them interposed
with, "I'll tell ye guide mon, a really guide
mon" "Wha's that ?" asked three voices at
once. "Weel,' was the reply. that's Just
Tam Guthrie" Say you've said it noo,'
was the remark of another. 81 believe DIR.
Guthrie to be as good mon as ever waggit
his pow in a poopit. He's different frae
the ithers Altogether. He practises mair
than he breaches" DIR. Guthrie was one of
the most eloquent of preachers but it was
the "gude man rather than the orator

seven hundred sixty-seven worms to the

wanted bait for fishing the garden didn't
