New EAition Of the Biblc.
My Dear Reu. Dryden
With joyful heart did read your re-
ply to Rev. Ulfert's sermon. That's right;
give it TO the Dutch. they don't under
stand their Bible any how but by tbewsy,

against Anarchism and intempennce; but
all the same. that preacher Ieeds good
shaking up and particularly n be don't
want to pull the same rope ~ you do. I
heard some people say, that u va IN
Christian and not gentleman like from =
minister Of the Gospel, like you, but ] tell
you my near Reverend, those people
don't know what they sre talking
about. Others said again, II Mr. Dryden
don't know that language, he ought % 90

Euglisb periect-but that's oil tslk--thsy
say that Rev. Ulfert breaches Temperance
and warns his people not TO oil up with
liquors, hut tell you, that man don't un-
derstand that those two words. Temper.

word Temperance" MEANS moderate In
drinking and Prohibition" 10 forbid
drinking altogether. You ought 10 make
