Rev. Hugh o. Pentecost in a recent
Sunday evening sermon, said: Whatever
my views may be upon the drink ques-
ton 1t will be blank Rip Van Wrinkle
ism in me to shut my eyes to the fact that
the Prohibition party is here and it is
here to stay The speaker went on to
say;
1.-THE same opinion is confirmed by OBJ
serving that articles are devoted daily,
and columns weekly, in such papers rs
the Tribune and the Christian Union, to
the discussion of this theme.
ssWe all know that when movement is
of enough Importance to abuse as ronndly
as the Tribune and other ultra Republ-
can papers abuse the Prohibition move
ment, whatever else we may think of 1t,
we must admit that it is of some conse-
quence, for such papers do not turn aside
to abuse insignificant enemies.
"The intoxicating drink question is at
present a prominent and positive fact
which is camoring for attention, and
which will not be flung aside, but insists
upon discussion and settlement; nor do
believe It will ever cease to agitate society
until the last armed knight of intemper-
ance is endorsed and brought to earth, or
the last liquor-maker and seller is driven
| from the land.
sFurthermore, do not believe it will
ever cease until no more intoxicating IL
auor is made, sold, or drunk as bever-
age in this country; until no more tramps
! roam our streets and roads, offending
| both sight and smell with their besotted
| faces and unclean persons until no more
woIkingmen reel home to hear their
children cry for bread and shoes, of which
they have been robbed by the father, who,
| in turn, has been robbed of every noble
instinct by drink; and until the society Of
the rich is no longer degraded, as it now
| is, by the baleful influence of wine.
With all the friends of temperance
throughout the worll we mourn the
death of John B. Cough, than whom no
temperance worker is better known. The
workmen cease but the work goes on.
He rests from his labors but his work s
follow him and shall not cease In their in
fuence for good while time rolls on.
In recent Winthrop temperance meet
ing gentleman made the following sig
| nifinant al In iul hnr al,
town twenty. seven men banded together
to oppose in every possible way the Wash
| ingtonian movement. OF these eleven
| filled a drunkard's grave; seven were lost
at sea; -four, while intoxicated, drove into
an arm of one Of the lakes In this vicinity
one night and were drowned; two COM
mitted suicide; two were hanged In the
South, and one went to sea and never was
heard from. "--Lewiston Me- Journal
This is for those who favor license not
because it is right, but for the revenue 1t
brings the city.
This sentence is ono of Mr.. Gladstone
most recent utterances, and was made be-
fore Brewers Commission in. London at
the time lie proposed the additional tax
on beer: "Gentlemen, l cannot permit a
question of mere revenue to be considered
alongside of question of morals; but
give me sober population, not wasting
their earnings on strong drink, and will
know where TO get revenue"
My drinking friend, how do you like to
look at yourself through somebody else's
glasses ?
y am jsist as much opposed to tipping
as anybody said Henderson; ''but never.
theless, liquor rightly used is blessing
to humanity. When was i'll last winter,
actually believed it saved my life."
Very likely; but how does that prove
that liquor Is blessing to humanity
