bIOoI Of my sacrifice with Ieaven:

Whenever the passover is cele
brated with unleaven bread and ua-
fermented wine, this 'act is sas
taine by the highest Jewish au
thority.
Since it would hay been so easy
to procure the pure juice, the fruit
of the vine, and since the Jewish
laws forbade the use of any thing
felmented, since Christ distinctly
stated that he came not to destroy
but to fulfill, does it not seem un-
natural to conclude that IN defiance
of Jewish authority and custom,
Christ should have used at his last
supper the fernented wine.
As Temperance women NE are
striving to educate our children that
they shall baye an adherence Of
alcoholic beverage. If We make no
protest against its use at the COM
munIon table, do we not give to it a
sanctity, which will break down all
of our forced arguments agsinst it
as an evil thing? Is 1t right for Us
thus to familIarize our children with
the taste and smell of wine and
thus give to it a 1.-THE to reverence
and respect?
Let US beg all who sanction the
use Of intoxicating wine for sacra.
nent to carefully study the Feast of
The Passover and its connection with
The Lords supper, and initiate our
Blessed Lord as far as iu US lies.

Editorial In N. Y. Post, July q, 1884.
The truth is, that during all these
years, there has been no rallyiDg
point about which the opposition
could honestly and unanimously
gather; and the Republican party
has now carried all its ends, and has
nothing further to offer to the peo-
pie. The iisehtegration Of both the
late parties is complete. They have
: name to live, but they are dead.
What is it to be a Republican?
No living man can answer that
question. We have looked through
the long address Of the so-called
Congressional Committee Of the
party to find solid answer to that
question, but We cannot find it.
There is no answer to that question,
because there is no single point of
vital public policy at present on
which those who call themselves Re-
publcans are agreed.
What is it to be q Democrat To-
dayg That question is easily put,
but impossible to be answered, for
the same reasons as before. The

An article entitled rs it admissi

which the writer was a little sur

subject.
The subject referred to was an es
say on Unfermented Wine for sacra

He says Prohibition paper is moi
the place to discuss the ordinances
of the church of God.

is the official organ of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union of
Mississippi. Through that depart
ment, each Union has right to dis
cuss subjects, or write of any in the
interest of their. work.
The writer, quotes Paul. "Let
your women keep silence" If Paul
was permitted to return to ear'h, !
doubt not he would feel humiliated,
as his sayings are quoted by both
Temperance and whisky men. Per-
NIT me to refer the writer to Paul
in Romans, xvi: l, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

to those characters spoken of in
Romans xvi: II, wanting them to
keep silent.

lany learned writer's maintained the
osition that since all leaveh was

he last supper Of our Lord was held
the Passover, the law forbiddlng
he use Of leaven would apply to the
inc as well as to the bread. Christ's
wn term was the Efruit Of the vine"
nd the drugged wine of to day can
OF in any sense be the fruit of the

There is perhaps no more solemn
nd important question for each
lember ofthe W. CT. U. to decide
'r herself than this one. Is it right
