Mr.. William McGlory, late of McGlory's
saloon, New York city, but now taker of
rooms for six months at Blackwell's Island
public house, says he did not know that he
needed a license in order to sell brewers beer
legally. Mr.. McGlory certainly could not
have read the papers or he would have been
better informed. And yet why blame Mr.
McGlory? The country is full of people who
know nothing comparatively of what is going
on in the world around them. Said men,
ber-a leading member of church not a
hundred miles from this city-recently, to the
writer, 'Do you take temperance paper
/ would like to see one as l haven't seen one
for nearly two years." The fact is many in
the church and thousands of course back of
these know but little if anything of the great
temperance reform now being agitated and
sweeping on towards success. Think of it l.!
A member of christian church not knowing,
and caring as little, whether temperance was
succeeding or not. Taking no paper save
occasionally a daily political one and expect
ing to keep abreast of the times How can
such souls live religiously and no church OF
temperance paper in their homes? We give
it up.

ANSWERED PRAYER.

| PRAYED for riches and achieved success,
All that touched turned into gold. Alas!
My cares were greater and my peace was less
When that wish came to pass.
l prayed for glory; and heard my name
Sung by sweet children and by hoary men,
But ah the hurts, the hurts that came with
fame
was not happy then.
I prayed for love and had my souls desire;
Through quivering heart and body and
through brain
There swept the flame of its devouring fire;
And there the scars remain
PRAYED for contented mind. At length
Great light upon my darkened vision burst,
Great peace fell on me- also, the great strength.
OH had that prayer been first!
Ella Wheeler.

with a temperance pledge, the Bible as a
chart, Gods Spirit and love as a compass.
The waves cease their war, the storm SUBJ

"Some people call Mrs. DIR. Bowers a
fanatic She is strange. Never permits her
son. such jolly good fellow, to join club,
never allows him to associate with some of the
first fellows in our set, because, forsooth,

all belong to temperance lodge, and my
but you should have heard the lecture the
doctor gave to father when in consultation.
Father recommended brandy for patient.
Father says he beat Cough all hollow. Smart
chaps, Dr. Bowers and his son are, both of
them but then to be tied to a woman's apron
strings!" The young man struck match,
lit his fourth cigar and, taking his chums
arm walked off.
Mrs Bowers had been an unknown listener
to the scrap of conversation uttered beneath
her window She lowered the sash, tears fill
ing her eyes, as she thought,
Eyes, thank God, I am fanatic, as they
call it. Would that had been one when
mere child Perhaps my dear brother would
be living to-day, beloved and honored."
Why do people rave about fate, the will OF
Providence, etc. God never wrecked soul
like that was wrecked. He permits such
things to happen, else man would not be
what he is, free moral agent.
Fate is inanimate; God is full of mercy and
love, as well as justice. They who are
wrecked are themselves responsible. Others
have influence and neglect of duty to account
and answer for. But it is the persons them
selves that shape their destiny. They are
the ones who sink the ship far out among the
breakers.

From the revised edition of the Centennial
Methodist Yearbook we learn that the total
membership ministerial and lay) of the
Methodist Episcopal church is ] 1882, 09O. OF
this number 4,572 are ministers-itinerant
and local-the number of each being about
equal We learn also from reliable statistics
that the total vote for president in 1880 was
6, 22S, 953, also about equally divided between
the candidates, Garfield having majority
over Hancock of only 4,503.
Now, what we want to get at is this, that if
these 24,57 Methodist ministers would
preach, pray, work and vote as they should
on the question of temperance, and the male
members of twenty-one years of these nearly
two millions of members would follow suit
as they would, for
g Like priest like people,
1t would not take more than half decade of
years before this great national curse of the
liquor traffic would be efectually and forever
wiped out, and our entire nation become (be
cause of the reign of temperance) the happi-
est, most prosperous, most christian and
powerful nation upon the globe. And then
if all the churches (many of which are as
faithful in this direction as we are) would do
the same it would be accomplished all the
sooner. How strange it is that when the
church of Christ knows it holds the balance
of power (and especially when she realizes
intemperance as her greatest foe) it does not
become at once an earnest aggressive unit on
this all-important question!
One united, determined effort and the work
is done, our nation saved and the world will
speedily be converted to God.

Are we compromising with the enemy
Are we patting some rumseller upon the back
because he is not wholly bad, because he
contributes to our support either in the church
or business? Do we say if he is ousted
worse man will take his place, and hence we
had better support him or compromise with
his devilish business by letting him alone
Though he blast hundred homes, ruins a.
hundred families, blghts and damns hum
dred of our fellowmen and beggars hundred
women and children, still because there
are worse men and he is clever, obliging and
liberal with his ill-gotten gains. do we advo-
cate his cause by agreeing not to offend him

with his, in the blood of immortal souls.

Dr. Rush, when asked by patient to let
him use liquor, said: 'No man shall look
me in the face on the day of judgment and
tell the Almighty that DIR. Rush made him
drunkard." If every physician would take
the same manly courageous ground there
would be far less sickness and infinitely more
temperance and religion in the world. God
pity the man who is too cowardly to risk the
loss of patients custom, in refusing at every
whim or felt disorder of stomach, to prescribe
strong drink. Such moral turpitude deserves
no patronage. We are glad the best physi-
clans have abandoned and condemn in IN
mistakable terms, this once fashionable, and
almost universal, and always perilous custom.
