Mr.. EDITOR: The occasion of great
est interest to this section, and tho one,
that is the general topic of conversation,
is the recent entertainment ut the Walk
er- -McElmeyle Academy. The whole
affair was gotten up in one week. Not
withstanding some had apprehensions as
to the propriety of undertaking such an
enterprise, it proved to be success.
On Saturday.morning, the 4th instant,
the good housewives of the community
began bringing in well filled baskets and
deposited the contents on table that
had been conveniently arranged in one
of the school rooms. The table WAS
! soon loaded with luxurious viands, such
dainty epicure. At 2 o'clock the bell
announced that the time had arrived for
the entertainment to begin. The exer-
cises were opened by q song Of welcome
rendered by the school. The audience
then joined Rev. O'dell, pastor of Pen

A Sufferer Seeking Reform.

The following letter, dated New
York, June -, 1889, has been received q,
which we believe to be written in good
faith by one who describes his own sad
case. The letter is hearttouchiug in
its mournful pathos. No wonder the
country was profoundly stirred when,
in 1910, thousands of such were
crowding to the halls and churches
seeking deliverance.
" Dear Friends: - Suppose a man
well advanced in life, who has been
using liquor more or less freely during
his lifetime; his vital powers are giving
way; the nervous system is broken
down; his eyes are getting weak; his
stomach will do nothing except under
the influence of liquor; his hands and
his head shake in the morning until he
gets a supply of whiskey; his steps are
uncertain; his mental faculties are dull
or dormant; he is too proud, and. as a
rule (thanks to his habits), too poor to
apply to doctor; his will power is tot
tering; he does not know what to do to
get rid of his besetting enemy, the
awful curse of life; he is actually
wavering between drunkenness and
suicide. Now, Is there no help Tor such
a man; no general rules that will assist
him in his lonely, hopeless struggle?
That is the question. The answer
stop drinking will not do in his case.
To stop drinking will kill him. He has
persons depending upon him, whom he
might help and cheer were he once rid
of the demon Alcohol. If science OF
experience has discovered any means
not too expensive by which such a man
can be saved, please give them all the
publicity you possibly can and as soon
as you can. You will accomplish a
thousand times more good than by
damning the drunkards. They need
help, not talk. They know their mis-
cry and degradation actually better
than you do. This is cry from a per.
ishing soul who knows he is not alone
in his Indebtedness. Help, help us il
you can"

Reply by Rev. Howard
Crosby, DID.

M UnknOpn Friend You repre-
sent common case, that of man adj
dicted to strong drink until he is its abb
ject slave, wishing he were rid of his
terrible master, but yet with a dom
inant wish to drink. His wish for drink
is stronger than his wish for freedom.
Taking the two together, he does not
wish freedom without drink. He wishes
freedom and drink. If he wished free
dom without drink he could get it at
once. He could stop drinking. 1t
would not kill him. That is nonsense.
1t might make him sick and weak for a
long time, but if he wished to be free
without drink he could certainly endure
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1890-07-02

sickness and weakness. The trouble is
Nth has UiU. He does not wish free
dom from his terrible master without
drink, but such freedom with drink
His will must be changed. He may
have reached such a point that this will
is the victim of disease. He may have
INDUCED in vice so long that his moral
being is stiffened into adamant. In
that case have no hope for him. But
| hope this is not so. | hope he is still
amenable to reason and conscience.
The lever, then, that is to move him is
his sense of duty to himself. to his fell
bowman and to God. He knows per-
fectly that one so besotted as he must
never touch drop of liquor, that his
system has been so corrupted that the
slightest touch of liquor to it will undo
him. Perfect abstinence is his duty.
He also knows, or should know, that
he is a sinner before God, not only in
this particular sin, but in having sim
full heart. He should therefore know
that no help can be got out of his own
heart for a new life. That source
is corrupt. He is, therefore, shut up to
going directly in honest, penitent, ear
nest prayer to God for his strength to
overcome his appetite, wishing not
only to be rid of his slavery, but also 10
be rid Of strong drink. The moment he
does this he is safe. | have friends
who did this more than score of years
ago and who have led consistent, godly
and happy lives to this day, having be-
fore that been the sad slaves of strong
drink. Science and the physician can
not help the man represented by you
Societies and pledges can not save him
Nothing but true conversion to Goo
can, and that assuredly will:

SpurgeOn on "HOnest Doubt

Every doubt is a Christ-crucifer.
Every time you give way TO skepticism
and critical questioning you lose sip
of sweetness. In proportion as you
believe with a faith that is child-like,
clear, simple, strong, unbroken, in that
proportion will Christ be dearer and
dearer to you. | recommend you to
keep the door of your mind on the
chain in these days, for those tramps
and Migrants called doubts are prow-
ing about in every quarter, and they
may knock at your door with vile in
tent. The first thing they say when
they are at a good mans door is. 81
am an honest doubt" That which so
loudly calls itself honest has good
need to fabricate for itself character.
The most honest doubt is a great thief,
but the most of doubts are as dishonest
as common house-breakers. Keep
doubt out of the soul, or you will make
small progress in the discovery of the
preciousness of Christ. Never enter
tain thought that is derogatory to
Christ's person or to his atOning sac
rifice. Reckon that opinion to be your
enemy which is the enemy of the cross
of Christ. Do not suffer your faith to
diminish even in the least degree. Be-
lieve in Christ heartily and unsuspect-
ingly. If you have a doubt as to
whether you are saint, you can have
no question that you are sinner;
come to Christ as a sinner and
put your trust in him as your Savior.
1t is wonderful how a renewed conf
dence in Christ's saving grace will
bring back all our joy and delight in
him, and sometimes do it at once.
