DovBR, June 24.-At the NJ E. Church
yesterday morning, Rev. T. Z. Terry
preached from the text "For who is this
uncircumcised Philistine, that he should
defy the armies of the living God2" He
referred at some length to tho defeat of
the Prohibition amendment of Pennsyl-
vania and ended with some very broad
and questionable statements concerning
the Local Option bill before the Legisla-
ture last session and it's defeat. He
said in substance that the man
who claimed to be temperate and in favor
of temperance, and yet opposed prohibi
tion and the sale of liquor would drink
on the sly. He claimed that high license
was the enemy, the Goliath to the tenn
perance cause, that though the causes
seemed to retrograde in the defeat in
Pennsylvania, the repeal of the law In
New Jersey and the failure in Delaware,
yet it was not dead and would revive the
stronger in the future.
