who have been denounced rs quacks Mt one

any mistake In such cases. We must have
assurance that n medicine is worthless OF

medicine. and when the charge OF 1uackery IL
brought against any medicastcr we must have
proof that the charge is true before branding
him as punck doctor.

Wouldn't these DO flno? And wouldn't they
be properly stuffed all through?
The Rev. DR.. RA1NsFoRD took a practical
Wow Of q complicated question In his sermon
OF last Sunday morning. Il mean." he said.
that tho Christian Church may yet BIO forced
to compete with the drinking saloon" What
we must do said DR.. RAINsFoED afterward to
an EVENING Sun reporter. lis to provide SUBJ
stitutes that will not be tainted by vice and I'M
wholesome surroundings. In such II thickly
populated city rs ours. to attempt to do
away with saloons is simply impossible.
But we can do the next best thing. We can
provide tho beer demanded by those who want
1t. and elevate the standard Of tho saloon TO u
level 1t has never occupied. l don't mean to
give away the beer. but to sell 1t at good prices
with profit. Would l se!l whiskcy in these
saloons? No. don't think that would: but
beer. light wines. coffee. and chocolate / GER
tainly would. What is more. l would have
them open on Sundays during the proper
hours: but they would be SO managed that
they would conform strictly to tho laws. and
in no way evade or break them"
This accords very we'll with n famous littlo
poem written by WILLIAM BLAKE in London a
hundred years ago:
Dear mother. dear mother. the church is cold.
Bmt the nlehouse Is healthy and pleasant and warm:
f sssds e.. can tell where am nsei we'll
But il a! the church they would give some ale.
And nicasant fire our souls to rcgale.
Nor as IL The s to- any
-" Then the parson might preach and drink and sing.
And we'd be as happy rs birds in the spring:
And modsst ns,ne i'ncn. who is always at church
And Cor like a Father rejoicing to sec
Wou ass o HPS the e or tn.
But kiss him. and give him both drink and apparel"
DR.. RAINsFoRD has opened up new line in
the treatment OF this important subject. and
we shall look with interest for the discussion
OF his project in the religious and secular press.
Tho usually peaceful town of Skaneatees
must be falling into anarchy. II we are to
credit despatch in our enterprising contcm-
porary. the Herald. 1t appears that certain
for the building OF public works
there have piled stones in the streets. to the
ANNOYANCE Of the people. who held a meeting
OF protest last Saturday. All the speakers at
the meeting used violent language. and we
consider it our duty to censure Thorn for doing
So We are told that one speaker announced
his readiness to lose his life in fight with the
contractors; that another limited Mt mob law;
that still another stirred his auditors to re-
sistance. and that finally the Rev. Mr.. PArTER-
SON urged tho people to protect their homes
against the enemy and resist him to the last.
1t is very wicked to give utterance to such an
archical threats in any OF the peaceful towns
OF this state. especially in skaneateles. which
Is an exceedingly moral and pretty place.
What does our religious contemporary,
tho Christian Union. mean by saying that ut
Is fact that dcteriorated quality Of men arc
now going into the ministry? This is n hnrd
saying. surely. and it must give offence to tho
ministry. Is it true' We are not prepared to
answer this question. and can neither con-
firm nor disprove tho allegation Of tho Chris
tan Union. IT can certainly be affirmed. how
ever, that there are but few men OF tho highest
intellect or theological crudition or cloquence
among the minister's OF this city. and that
there are feeble minds anon: them. How
shall the CHRISTIAN Union get rid OF tho minis
ters OF deteriorated quality and secure q full
supply OF ministers Of tho best quality? We
cannot say.
