A Good Illustration.

To illustrate: Suppose l had
now before me a large audience of
saloon-keepers, their wives and
their children. Suppose l call one
of their boys to this platform, and,
after passing my hands few times
over his head, l could make just
sach changes in his physical, men
tai and moral nature, in FIVE min
utes, as a saloon will surely make
in five months or five years; sup
pose | pass my hand over him and
blunt his intellect, destroy his
health, plant disease within him,
cloud his judgment, scar his con-
science, paralyze his will, obdurate
his heart, take away his selt-con-
troll, self-love, love of home, love OF
friends, love Of industry and prop
erty, and all desire for the good
opinion of mankind; suppose that
l could thus stand this day before
such an audience, and in five min
utes could destroy his health, in
flame his eyes, and pickle his
brain, and tan his stomach, and rot
his bowels, and poison his blood,
and kindle the fires of hell in his
throat, and the fires of the second
Death on the lips and cheeks that
are fair tonight, and should thus
exhibit this son to an audience of
saloon-keepers a driveling idiot or
raving maniac, while scream ing
wives and mothers tainted; infuri-
ated men would leap from their
seats and catch my throat and tear
my body limb from limb. And
they would do we'll to do that; and
yet this is the infamous work they
are doing to your sons, day and
night, under the accursed protec-
ton of the law, and if we protest
we are called 'tfanatics."-SeI.
