Get Thee Behind Vie. Satan,

An interesting story was told me recent
", by o who was there" of a regiment
dinner given by 4 regiment stationed at
Annapolis, Md, in the autumn of 1861.
The table WAS laid for a large number,
many Of whom were officers and high Off
cials, including the governor of the state.
The menu included three kinds of liquor.
No chaplain being present, the captain
was requested TO ask a blessing. He was
a brave man and "a good soldier of Jesus
Christ and promptly responded, II have
never asked Gods blessing on intoxicating
liquor. nor will do so: if you will have
the liquor removed from the table | will
ask a blessing"
Servants were called, the bottles set Oh
the floor while TIE blessing was asked,
and then returned TO the table.
What was the result? It was not long
before wine was unknown and ~unthought
Of at any public or social gathering Of that
regiment.
And what Of the captain? He is one Of
CEicago's most prominent divincs, and, OF
course, is a strong third party Prohibition

There are men everywhere. who often
have vowed within themselves that they
would hereafter put their foot on their
deadly foe, drink; but they have been
tempted by Satanic influences, such as
are found in ten thousand places in Phil
adelphia, TO violate those pledges and I'M
man themselves again, by permitting their
old master, run, to deceive them. Brother,
there is hope for you. You can strike
your enemy dead with a safe ballot. You
may be master instead of rum. Pray
against it, certainly; don't forget that;
but you mnst do more than that; you must
do something yourself; You must put your
wi shoulder To tho wheel. you must
c0t1 against your enemy. Do not vote
against part Of your enemy, vote against
al OF him. Do not vote Ia keep part OF
him Gltse, and that the most active, deadly
part, license. Vote to hiu him outright.
There is only one way to vote that way,
and That is with the Prohibition party

Il might even say that at Nazareth at

Mohammedans point the finger Of seorn at

We haze girdled tie porld wiA 4 zone Of
drink. Our footsteps, wherever they have
traversed the world on their career of con-
quest-llaye been footsteps dyed in blood.
We have declmated the aboriginal popu-
lations-I am speaking we'll within the
facts-by drink, and often mainly by the
drink that we have introduced. They have
melted before us in many eases like a line
OF snow before the sun. We sometimes
talk Of our missions TO the heather as II
they were acts of splendid generosity; |
look upon them as tardy aets q tie mast
necessary PREPARATION. We have carried
with us from country to country the
! blight and the curse without the blessings
| of our civilization and our Christianity.
The result of our mixing with these races,
in common with other European peoples,
have been horrible, and it is high time
that we should now make clear that the
| object and mission of Christian peoples Is
not to destroy their bodies, but to save
their souls. 1t is high time that beautiful
upon the mountains should be the feet of
those that bring good tidings, and that
publish peace. I look upon that as the
great crusade of this generation. Our
fathers went as crusaders to Palestine to
rescue a material sepulehre, and we have
to rescue the living temples OF, in some
respects, human beings for their Saviour
and their Lord. ! I'm sometimes perfectly
appalled, at the c%allousness Of conscience
which we still show in England on this
subject. clear, hear. At one and the
same time we are deliberately sacrificing
hundreds and thousands OF our sons and
other races in every quarter Of the globe
TO the hideous two-headed Moloch, of
which one head is the head Of spurious in
diyidual liberty, aud the other lead is the
head of vested interests in human ruin.
(Cheers.) | do trust that, long as the
struggle HAS Occll, Tie Victory may foiiie
at last. ! am quite sure that when the
conscience of the English-speaking races
is once thoroughly touched and reused, as
two generations ago it was reused and re-
allied for the first timc-what a guilt it
was that we should use the arm of free
lon to rivet the letters Of the slavc-so
they will in time realize that it is a still
deadlier and still more ruinous form Of
guilt to use the name and tl.e power of
Christian people TO destroy the bodies and
the souls of men. (APrlansc) ."-CaFon
