How IL works.

Forty-six Of the fifty-eight wards and
towns i'll Worcester county, Mass, were
carried for no license last spring, and in
view of this fact the following statements
gathered from the records Of the police
court will be interesting
In May 1885 there were POS arrests for
drunkenness. for the same month this year
but 70; in June 1885, 170 arrests and jane
1886 but ia.
Tie evasion of the law is accomplished
in the following manner. One man buys
a barrel Of whisky for his own use and
puts it in his cellar; his ncishhor sends for
a pail full and proceeds to retail it out TO
his frosted friends. who desire 70 break
down the law.
The police put III an appearance aud the
few remaining drops are turned out and a
great shout is made about thu enforcement
of the law.
Bat despite these violations, drunkenness
is decreasing and financial prosperity is in
c~reasing as single fact viii demonstrate

EpiruR o. Tna M0SIfoR.-The an
ngo. camp meeting tOcean city, closed
August 10Th. For numbers, spirituality
and excellent preaching, the camp was said,
by those who are annual visitors, to be the
best ever held in this place. The preaching
was eloquent, iorcible and direct. Mrs.
Fannie II. Carr, National Temperance
Evangelist, gave daily Bible readings to
good-sized and appreciatiye audiences.
These occasions were marked by special
power A number of persons from Salem
county. among whom were Rev. Bro. Mar
gerum and family, of Pennsgrovo, were in
attendance. Bishop Malleleu preached a
mastery sermon on Sunday the 10th inst,
to an audience which crowded the audi
torium. 1t was a model of clear, forcible
statement, and it was truly refreshing 10
find one filing the highest position in the
gift Of the church OF such apostolic feryor
and simplicity. Rev. DR.. Wood was untir-
ing in his efforts to make the meeting a
success. Rev. Thos. 0gle Evangelist
took charge of the altar service, as well as
preached on several occasions. The out
look for Ocean City is quite favorable, and
The directors are leaving ''no stone IN
turned" to preserve its character as that
of a heightened moral and religious sea
side, where parents can safely bring their
children for recreation and health. The
writer can say this more freely, because of
no interest to advance further than that of
truth and good morals. TEMPERANCE.

factory flourish: and about the door and
around the tables Of the average saloon
may be seen men, often in crowds, who
give uumistakable evidence that they are
toilers. The rumshop, therefore, becomes
a direct burden Ia the employer. The
laborer finds that his wages are insufficient
to provide for his family and buy his grog,
and he becomes uneasy. He pleads as an
excuse for a demand for higher wages that
he is not getting sufficient to keep his fam
lily as il should be kept. 1t is true that
the family may be suffering deprivation,
but il is also true that it might, perhaps,
be well provided for if a portion of the
mans wages did not 20 for rum. II
charged with thus spending his money, he
retorts by saying that the poor man is as
much entitled To his beer and whiskey as
the rich msn Is 10 his wine. 1t would be
an unq~ucstionable blessing if both were de-
privei 81 their drink. 1t Will never do the
poor man or the rich man the slightest
harm 70 deprive him of intoxicating liquor.
We have no pity Ia waste upon any stom-
ach whose owner thinks it is outraged be-
cause ii is not filled with alcohol. We
know hat if We could stop every still, and
sliut ~ every Fumshop and plug MP every
ran barrel, every human being and the
best interests uf society would be better
OFF. Hence, a. the absence ofli4uor would
be a public blessing, we think too much OF
our fellow man 70 have the slightest sym
pathy with his plea for the privilege Of
drinking rum
