Who is Responsible 7

MR. EoIroE With deep sorrow l read in
the TINES Of July %, an account of the sad
taking of of Adam Little, and in that conncc-
tion the above question forced itself upon me.
While pastor ut Union was acquainted with
Mr.. Little. When not under the influence of
liquor hc seemed to be quiet, thoughtful, well
disposed man and at times manifested deep
conviction Of sin and an honest desire for
salvation aud a Christian experience.
When the question Of Prohibition was first
discussed he placed himself Sluorcly on the
right side. lie said TO me- I" cannot 90 where
liquor is without drinking; so nearly rs often as
l come to town, | am drunk, crazy, and get
locked up. have paid this town too much
money for drunken, disordcrly fines; would
be glad to get liquor out Of my sight"
No doubt lie SPOKE honestly. And there are
not O few men like him, with an uncomfortable
appetite for intoxicants whenever they come
near to them and sincerely desiring to he free
from the debasing sin OF drunkenness. Is it
Christian is it even manly, for us to place temp.
ation even in the way Of this unfortunate class
of our fellow men? 1t is written-''No drunk
ard shall inherit the Kingdom of God" Aud
again it is written" Woe un,o him that givetf
bis neiqhhnT d-imk. that nuiteth the bottle tt
h'n anu maketh him drunken. As the matter
looks TO me, hal sold Adam Little the Gouo,
that made him drunk, l would feel largely re
sponsible for his shocking death
