Mr.. John A. Anderson, as presiding Of
flcer at the last Sunday afternoon meet
ing of the w. c. 7. u, made some very
interesting remarks. He spoke with no
uncertain sound. He left no doubt as to
his position on this all-mportant subject.
Mr.. Samuel Botteiil delivered the
principal address before the W. G. T. u,
Sunday afternoon. He received the close
attention of his audience, although his
address was long.
The Young Peoples Temperance Union
decided at their last Friday evenings
meeting to discontinue their meetings for
time. We trust this may not be
permanent cessation from their labors,
but they may come together again soon
and find new life and yigor in their meet
ings and see good resulting therefrom.
A CARD.-The w. G. T. U. would
hereby remind its friends, that the honor
ableness of it's members would forbid that
the remonstrances, lately presented by
them, should fall under the allegations

In the cases of accident to life or limb
which have been called upon to treat
professionally, more than one-half
think, have been due directly to alcol Ollie
beverages. What diseases these beyer-
ages produce, it is difficult to say, but on
all diseases the general effect of alcohol
ism is disastrous. While | do not agree

Under the accumulating influence of al
cohol, the honest man turns knave, the
respectable man suddenly loses principle
and self-respect, the wise man is utterly
foolish, the rigidy moral man takes a

Men dread the cholera, the yellow fever
and the small pox, and take expensive
precaution against it, while the ravages
of all of them in year do not produce
| the mischief that intemperance does in
month. 1t is worse than plague, worse
than fire or inundation, or war. Nothing
but sickness, death. immortality, crime,
pauperism, and IA frightful waste of re-
sources comes of it. Nothing noble is
born of it. Meantime our public men are
timid about it, our churches are half in
different over It., our ministers talk about
the seriptural use of wine, our scientific
men dispute about the nutritiye proper
ties of alcohol, our politicians utter wise
things about personal rights and sumptu-
AIRY laws, and the people are going to the
DEVIL. g. Holland in 1879.
