THE LIQUOR CURSE.
BY S. CORNELIUS, D. D.

Virtues go in families. One of
family groups is, faith, hope, chari-
ty;" another is, ''long-suffering, gem
tleness, goodness" another is right
eousness, peace, and joy in the Holy
Ghost" The same is true Of vices.
"Filthiness, foolish-talking and jest
ing" are classed together in close re-
lationship. So are bitterness, wrath,
anger, clamor, evil-speaking and all
malice" and so are adultery, forni-
cation, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions,
heresies, envyings, murders, drunken
ness, revellings and such like" We
often hear of parent-vices, and what
vice is not the parent Of vile and
various progeny Of vices? What
form Of sin is not productive and
equally reproductive? What crime
does not lead to crime? What evil
does not draw other evils in its train !?
What curse is not cumulative?
Certainly the liquor curse has roots
and branches without number. Ger
tainly the drinking-saloon is one Of
the chief synagogues Of Satan. It is
not only that drunkenness is born and
bred there; this is the beginning of
the evil wrought. The lowest and
basest passions are fired there; con-
tention and strife spring up here, and
murder often does its bloody work
there Crime in all it's forms seek
not in vain for hellish inspiration
there; oaths and curses resound there.
Sabbath breaking finds it's chief har-
bors there; and infdelity under all its
forms gains unrebuked utterance
there The chief antagonism that the
Church finds throughout our land is
there, with it's scores of attendants
where the Church has it's units, and
there on the Holy Day and on every
day alike. The bartender is the most
dangerous rival Of the minister; and
not only is he this, but he is, also, the
rival and adversary Of every philan-
thropist every moralist and every re-
former. The awful business in which
he is an active agent is direct attack
not only upon the Church, but upon
the community; a menace to every
| uOu10, 1uu buC uIcCu VI CfSly
heart that has son, or husband, OF
lover, or friend exposed to its insidi.
Gus temptations. The liquor traffic
whether conducted at wholesale, OF
retail, is traffic in the peace and
safety and prosperity of the people
and not only those who profit by it
or patronize it, but all who apologize
for it, or palliate, or excuse its atroci.
ties, are aiders and abetters in its
spreading devastations.
God be thanked, the multiplied rev.
elations Of the results Of this foul III
iquity have so aroused the public con-
science that prohibition is now be-
coming the temperance watchword
everywhere. Arguments and apoli-
gies and excuses for an evil which has
eaten like cancer into the most vital
interests of the family, the Church,
and the Community. are becoming
more and more odious to increasing e
multitudes. A radical reform in this
matter seems to be approaching; a re-
form, which, it is presumed, will res
cue thousands from alchholic tempta-
tion and from the fearful fate Of the
drunkard. God speed the day!
