1t is hardly necessary to say allude to the vice
Of intemperance. and the other usually referred
to as the social evil. Whilst Christianity and
the Bible condemn most strongly both these vices
they not only exist. but seem to be peculiar above
all others to Christian communities. The NOLAN.
medans certainly have right to pride themselves
on their absence in their midst Their religion
not only prohibits these sins, but they claim it has
influence enough on the faithful to restrain
them from committing them. The absolute pro.
hbtion of wine accounts naturally for the absence
of intemperance. and the slavery system. the
harem, plurality of wives and the absence of
large unmarried class is the simplest and most
