two officers turned to see Langhorne's
battery sweep at full ga1lop across a

Yesterday being the day on which the

''Wine is a mocker. and strong drink is
raging" After mentioning the iaci
tina; s.. 900, 900. 900 were annually worse
than wasted in this country by the
drink habit, and also $4,000 souls
destroyed by it, he made the following
points:
Sin is n violation of law, whether hui
man or divine. The offender is 4 sinner.
Among the violations OF divine law may
be enumerated theft, murder, covetous-
ness. adultery and drunkenness. All
sin is bad, wicked. but some sins On
account OF their magnitude ara capable
OF doing more harm. because they are
more far-reaChing i'll their influence on
others than those who commit them
also because OF the attitude OF the peo.
pie toward them. Christ, in all his
teachings, tried to do the greatest good
to the greatest number, and we should
follow his example. All sin should be
placed on an equality. and an neon,
promising attitude against it is the duty
OF all good people.
To-day Sc have n discriminating pub.
lie sentiment in favor OF drunkenness

l. Whisky is said to be good in its

and is prescribed by the physician.
8. Beer and ale arc supposed to be
healthful and harmless summer drinks.

freely by the young and old.
Can We not see the baleful effects o.
