English Intemperance.

Preaching on behalf of the Church of Eng
land Temperance Society, at St. Margaret
Church, Westminster, last month Archdeacop
Farrar said: England must get rid of the
curse and crime of intemperance, or gradually
perish of the paupers and criminals who were
poisoning her ma ional life. and who so long as
the present drink system was continued would
remain untouched by the amenities of civiliza-
ton, and much more by the influences of relig-
iou- faith To defend the existing system was
like talking about protecting the vested interests
OF a cancer. In speaking of intemperance as
the cause of the poverty Of the poor and of the
misery Of the slums, the archdeacon said the
demaSogue and the socialist rallied at the luxu-
ry Of the rich. All luxury was an evil, and
days were coming when the duty of perfect
and stern self-denial would be incum-
bent on every class; but he, who had often at
tackled the luxury of the rich, must say that it
was not SO deadly and treacherous as the drink
OF the poor. There was many a working man.
many cabman, many IA laborer many an arti-
san, who spent every day of bis life on intoxi-
eating drink a sum which he. the preacher.
could not afford, and which he should think It
luxurious and disgracefully extrav-
agant to spend.
