world in two parts, and Ventured to
assert that those who used alcoholic

Mr.. McAIlister then described the
so-called teetotallers, whom he di-
vided into three classes. The fist
belonged to that set of men who do
not like it, never drink it, and do not
want it. They have no use for it
and refused to associate with those
that do. They then set themselves
up as prrhibitionists; inasmuch as
they sacrificed nothing they are not
entitled to any consideration. The
second class like it very well, but
they think they can do without it,
by so doing, they can attain certain
prominence before the people. The
third class are prohibited from using
Sgassstheir physicians. Their health
is too feeble, and so having no use for
liquor, they become total abstainers.
The first class sacrificed nothing,
while the second actually gained.
There are still others who have a
morbid desire which they cannot con-
trol. This they either acquired or
inherited. All honor to such men,
who, knowing that they would he un-
able to control their passions, do with
out any stimulants. These men are
to all consideration, and
should be honored for abstaining al
together.
There are others still who conscien-
tlously deny themselves any stimu.

and although repeatedly advised by
his brother to throw away pills that
he was taking and swallow a little
bourbon, declined to follow his direc-
