be despised, it is the pious fraud who
sings his psalms and drinks his drains,
and prays and then defends this traffic.
On him must rest the blood of broken
hearted women and tears Of neglected
and Impoverished children. On him
must come the gloom ofutter night VIXEN -..e..
the angel Of God pronounces: "Woe
unto him that putteth the bottle to his
neighbor'slips, and maketh him drunken,
saith the Lord" The stronghold of whis,
key is in the pale of the Churches and
the blight and curse is upon many on
this account. A coward ministry and
an impure, drinking membership in too
many places guard the saloon interest,
and barter their lives and the hopes of
men and women for a few dollars Or the
empty pleasures of popular applause.
The Churches in land can Danish this ac-
cursed demon from among them if they
will, and if we do not, then the blood of
souls must be upon our garments. The
cry of preachers in politics. frightens
some good men in the ministry from do,
ing what they think ought to be done,
and then this is increased by the advice
of the pious () Church member, who
advises his preacher simply to preach the
gospel and leithe schiskey question alone.
"On no one thing are so many curses
pronounced and about which are SO
many warnings given in the Bible as this
veryd thing. Let's see: Woe unto the
drunkards,' Woe unto them that follow
strong drink, ..'Woe to men Of ofstrength to
mingle kstrong drink They have erred,
theyare out Of the way through strong

them that drink it, Woe unto him that
putteth the cup to his neighbours lips.

IS red, when it giveth its color in the
cup, for at the last it biteth like serpent
and stingeth like an adder.
"Who hath woe? who hath sorrow
They that tarry long at the wine, they
that 90 to seek mixed wine."
"NO drunkard shall inherit the king

Here are texts enough to keep you
preaching for many Sabbaths on one sub
feet, and he who fails to use them should
hand in his parchments and relieve the
! Church of carrying him any longer.
"Surely we have carried the curse long
enough. Every man with particle Of
