Beaumont, who had the hes! opportlm-

be said against the use Of ham, at this
or any other time, which demands at least
five and quarter hours for its digestion.
The Strawberries, OF themselves, would
not be oltcctional, when needed at meal
time, but, with the addition Of sugar and
cream, they are made more difficult u

not needed in hot weather. TO close such
scene Of gormandizing-as it often is
by the use Of Ice cream so depressing the
temperature of the stomach that di-es-

Is one Of the special curses of the occas

yiands are specially tempting to the APP

These festivals, whether to aid in adding
to the Sabbath school library, in building
new editice, supporting preaching, or
otherwise, are unworthy OF our Christian
civilization, a blot on our Christian char
acter, and should be denounced BY those
who stand on the walls OF Zion, who pro-
fess to discourage carnal induleences.
