Bro, Cullom gets in ahead Of me in
the matter Of pleasant mention, but we
escape the charge of mutual admira-
ton, when | say he is the same Cul-
ION. Your readers will understand .
this lie is pleasantly situated, and F.
has on excellent field Of usefulness. p.
Let me tell you, when Cuilom, looking
down over that classic Roman nose,
and putting the tips OF his fingers to-
gcther in front Of him, says: "Now l
will sing you little song" you may
expect great activity in the lachrymals
After all, while much may be said Of
Cullom, the great power is behind the

Whot Heayen-blessed thing it is
that men Of position and influence,
irrespective of party affiliations or
creeds, are rallying their forces to put
away from Us this great evil Of tipping
and drunkenness. There is a feature
Of the subject, however, that will pain
ne as long as / live; it is that the
church OF the Lord Jesus Christ must,
in many communities, be led IN moral
reform by elements OF society who may
have no higher aim in promoting So
briefly than that which moves a human
tartan. That the manufacture, sale
and use of Intoxicating liquors should
remain in the church OF God until
prohibited by civil law is a burning
shame to those who shrink from the
responsibilities OF official place. If the
cause OF temperance suffers in the
hands of Metholism it will be from &
breach rather than an observance of the
most wholesome law on the subject
