Wicked Gloucester.

Everyone knows. Gloucester is a bad
place; but nobody pictured it in his mind
eye in such very sombre colors as the
Rev. NJ. Pierson, of the Camden Baptist
Church, selects. In O sermon on Sunday
on 1.-The Sins of Gloucester" he said
Gloucester City sends drunken sons and
fathers to our homes every Sunday. The
saloon proprietors defy divine and human
laws. Gloucester City is sending poison
into our community, and the effect will
be a lawless spirit and vicious habits.
Already some of our boys show signs of
dissipation; already some of our young
men seem to be lost to a sense of shame.
The place is under rum rule. The saloons
make and administer the laws"
The speaker gave a long description of
the scenes of temptation, vice and de
bauches observed on Sunday at Gloucester
Point. He said amusements are provided
to draw people there, and farmers sons,
Kept at home through the week, are
tempted by the Sunday sports.
Our turnpike, " he concluded, "every
Sunday is the scene of drunkenness. Is
1t not time to cry a stop to these democrat
ling influences? VIII you keep silent?
Will you refuse to wipe out this plague
spot? h things to be done are to preiu-
Educate public opinion. Prepare our
citizens to secure laws that will prohibit
such sins as have been spoken of. Our
officers should be instructed to arrest
every man or boy going through our
streets Sunday in al intoxicated condi-
ton. A few arrests would have q yerv
wholesome effect in teaching that drunk
enness is a sin and shame. We must not
forget that sowing means reaping."
