All Intoxicating drinks are more
dangerous in this country than in al
most any other from the nervous tenn
permanent of our people. Our climate
is stimulating, and American life, in
almost every direction, runs at high
rate of speed. Youth is commonly
stronger ut the engine than it is at the
brakes. This is preemipently true of
our young men. One unanswerable
proof of the difficulty of stopping the
drink-habit is found in the fact that SO
very few are actually reformed. Not
One-tenth of those who enslave them
selves to the bottle ever break loose,
even though they cry out in their sober
moments "WOuld to God that
might never taste another drop !"
There was a touching pathos in the
speech of one of our "bOys in blue to
the police magistrate after he was ar
rested for drunkenness. He held up
whisky flask and said "Your honor,
the only enemy that ever conquered
me is that ~ Yet he admitted that
enemy himself and could not dislodge

of total abstinence as the only certain
safeguard. The grace of God is power
less if you voluntarily yield to tempta-
ton. 1t is defiance to the Almighty
for you to leap into the rapids and eX
pect him to save you from the cataract.
No small part of my life has been spent
in bOOtless efforts to save those who
were in the swift and treacherOus cur
rent. The remainder of it shall be
spent in endeavoring to prevent young
men from embarking on the stream

ments and appeals have been printed

An Incident of Soiourner truth.


Mrs. Francis ID. Gage records one of
the impressive Outbursts of this re-
markable negro woman who died II
fortnight since, over one hundred
years old :
1t was mt a wOman's rights cOnven-
tion at Ackron, O., in 1851. During
its sessions old Soiourner, for she was
eighty years of age then, n,-'sat crouch
ed against the wall on the corner of
the pulpit stairs, her bonnet shad
ing her eyes, her elbows on her knees,
her chin resting upon her broad, hard
palms. Few dared to have her speak,
many implored Mrs. Gage, who was
president of the convention, to prevent
her from speaking. They didn't want
their cause "miXed up with abolition
and niggers." But the time came when
SoiOurner Truth felt it borne in upon
her to speak "She moved slowly to
the front, laid her old bonnet at her
feet and turned her great speaking
eyes to me- Kisses came from the
audience. But she looked the disap-
proval down. Nearly six feet high,
her head was thrown back, and her
eyes "pierced the upper air like one
in dream" At her first word there
was Il profound hush. She spoke in
deep tones, though not loud, which
reached every ear in the house. Here
are some of the words she said, and
they will serve to show how powerful
and original IL character was this full
blOOded African woman, and how justi-
fled her fame was =
"Dat man Ober dar say dat womin

lifted ober bitches, and to hab de bes'
place eberywhar. Nobody eber helps
me into carriages, or ober mudpuddles,
or gibs me any bes' placer And,
| raising herself to her full height and
her voice to pitch like rolling thun-
der, she asked, "And amt | woman ?

''Den dey talks bout dis ting in dc

be-certainly not where we ought to
be- but we soon saw good and noted
professor in one of Americas most
noted theological seminaries, max
ing himself comfortable and easy, and,
to his credit | am glad to say, he
drank no beer. He quieted our fears
and directed us to chairs, and as the
good minister of our party, who is a
great mission worker in New York
city, was inclined to stay, we took
seats, and sent one of our number to
see if the building held any more re-
ligiOus looking assembly than that.
He returned with not even an olive
leaf in his mouth, and we remained
there. Soon an orchestra began to
discourse grand music from dis
tinguished composers in the most select
manner, although they did drink beer
between times.
After the music, four sermons were
delivered by four of Germany's most
distinguished preachers concerning 4:
'Luther at Worms" "Luther at the
Diet mt Angsburg;" "Luther and the
Princes house :" "Luther in his rela-
ton to school and home," and the ser
vices closed.
Such is the custom in Protestant
Germany, and such in brief, was the
grand climax of the long awaited cele-
bration of the 40Oth anniversary of the
birth of Luther in the city of Leipsic.
Germany needed-the world needed
a Luther four hundred years ago.
Germany needs II Luther to-day as
much us then. Perhaps even Luther
would he unable to bring back the
people to the spirit of the teachings
which he then gave so successfully. 1t
may be too severe criticism, but be
lieve it is not. A few days since Il
German ut our table said, "a pious
German is Il curiosity" A German
lady recently said to her bOarder who
is from Ohio, CATER you have been
here six months you will not have so
many churches" meaning "you will
not go to church so often"
If the many sermons which have
been delivered upon the life and work
of the great Reformer causes any
deeper piety, any more genuine regard
for Christianity, it will, indeed, prove
IA blessing to the German people. 1t is
not worth while to consider how it
may possibly he with our Protestant
country ? Does not America to-day
differ from America of a century ago
in reference to Sabbath keeping? No
admiration of Luther can keep Ger
many in possession of the pure and
efficient Christian religion, and no
admiration of Washington can of itself
alone keep the American people free.
No reliance upon present or past
obedience to Gods commands can as
sure a pure, undefiled Christianity, to
our people or nation in coming time.
The will to worship God i'll the beauty
of holiness must be ever present with
us as "A people. o. II. C.

PETREA, Sept. 10th, 1888.

PETREA, Sept 10th, 1888.
To the Editors of the Standard:
Sunday was gala day at Petrea. The
skies were clear and bright. Citizens
collected at an early hour, and the SER
vices of that day opened with singing
and music on the organ by Prof. Hank.
The Rev. McGhee led off in prayer and
then preached one of his most powerful
sermons. At the close of this part of the
service the dinner hour was announced,
and at two o'clock I don't think there
was hungry man or woman on the
ground. They were all in good fix to lis
ten to one of the Hon. Atkinson's best
speeches, who was called on the stand at
that hour. He defined politics as the
science of government and discussed its
relation to the cause of temperance. He
exposed the traffic of Intoxicating liquors
in all its hideousness. He was listened
to with intense interest and was loudly
applauded at it's close. He was followed
by Messrs. Longbon and Cherington,
who handled their subject in a mastery
manner. After this there was more sing
ing and music, and the meeting was
brought to close by taking vote on
the second amendment, which resulted
in it's favor. Yours, etc.,
G. w. REYNOLDS.
