The Rev. John Chambers Of Phlla-
delphia, in "a speech before the Ameri-
can Union, said, a dealer in liquor
was tried for some crime, convicted
and sentenced by Judge Parsons. The
next day a LAWYER waited upon the
Judge and told him he could show q
defect in the proceedings, wherefore
the man should be released, "Oh,"
said the Judge; "that matter is set
tied. "But" said the lawyer, "he is q
worthy man." "a worthy man." said
the judge, land make drunkards?"
''But," said the lawyer, the is a good
citizen" "A good CITIZEN" said the
Judge, sand fill up our jails and aims
houses, and cause our men to commit
murder and arson, land every iniquity?
That question settled Sir, and the man
must abide by the law" The name
of that Judge was Parsons and may
God send US more such parsons as
this.
Prohibition seem. to mo to be the
next step in Temperance reform.
As race advances from barbarlsm
to civilization every great evil passes
through three great stages: First.
the stage Of universal liberation and
general practice; second, the legal
stage in which the evil is hampered
and restricted, and finally prohibited
by the state; and third, the moral
stage in which the evil is abandoned
and the opposite virtue IS cultivated
through inward impulse and not
through outward restraint. Murder
and theft and slavery have passed
through these three stages. Intern
perancc has just entered the second
stage in which every civilized gov
eminent is restricting and discourage
ing the traffic through legislation.
The logical and inevitable outcome Of
such legislation is prohibition.
But after all prohibition eau never
be the. final goal In our modern strug-
| gle for temperance. Surely we have
not reached our goal as u people when
we come to that stage in civilization
In which men cease to do wrong from
fear Of outward punishment. We
have reached our resting place only
when we have come to that stage In
which prohibition leads to universal
sci! restraint. AL the great interests
Of society are tending toward this
goal. Laws are but the outward
clutches upon which humanity leans
until its feet are strong and its wings
arc moulted. The day is not far dis
tant when law shall be swallowed up
In love, when the kingdoms of this
world shall become the Kingdoms Of
our Lord and Of his Christ.
