A Temperance Lecture.

In the M: E. Church South last Friday night,
after prayer by Rev. ]. T. Williams. and an
appropriate Introduction by Maj. Jed. Hotch-
kiss, Mrs. Matte Mcclellan Brown, Of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, delivered an able and interesting
lecture to large audience. It was delivered
in deliberate manner and clear style, and
was quite different in character from the lee.
lures usually delivered on that subject. It was
addressed more to the intellect than to the feel
ings and emotions, and was logical and able
throughout. She said that, from what she
had observed Of the evidences OF enterprise and
energy and christia nifty in this city, she was
sure that there was su fficient moral force in
this community. II concentrated and brought
into action, to wipe out all the saloons in this
city in twenty days. The saloons, she said.
did no one any good, but harm to all who pat
rOnized them. and that as to the revenue de-
rived from them 1t would be better for the
community to close the saloons and to build
houses and support the families of the saloon
keepers from the city Treasury than to keep
the saloons open and receive the revenue they
furnish: She argued that the tr aftic In spirits
was not legitima bus mess, because it did
not give value received for the money paid for
1t. as in the case of all legitimate businesses
that 1t not only did no good but vast and in
calculable amount of harm. She showed that
1t was the alcohol In drinks that made them
palatable, and how alcohol affected the brain
and stomach. and increased the craving for 1t.
1t was a good thing to reform those who had
become addicted to the drink habit, but 1t was
much better thing to prevent persons from
ever acquiring 1t. The young should be pro-
tected. and there should be moral sentiment
sufficiently strong to do SO, and she believed
the American people before a great while
would rid their country OF this giant evil.
