A SERMON ON TEMPERANCE.
Rev. woodward Tells Who Is Responsible
for the Liquor Trame-FieWs With
Alarm society Wine Parties.

at the Methodist church Sunday
evening, Rev. Woodward preached upon
temperance. His treatment Of the
subject was plain and forcible, inter
spercing hard and driven facts with
touching illustrations cleaned from
the field Of inebriety. He said in sub
stance:
ssThe habit Of drink is an evil that
has beset man for a great part Of his
history, and during the centuries Of its
existence. innumerabIe have been the
victims Of this vice It has been per
haps the one agency that has torn
down the barriers and leveled the
walls of public virtue, leaving in its
path nations to whose imperial wand
dozen races gave the submissive knee.
aUpon the body and soul does this
curse make demand for full surrender
of the wilI-pOwer and the manly attri
butes, whereby man fulflls his relation
to the Infinite. 1t is a law Of our ply
steal nature that when the mind strives
for right action the body is quick to
give support, but when the mind sur
renders to a vice, the body puts forth
its every power to drag down the soul
into degradation and sin.
"Where shall be placed the resPon-
sibility for this traffic? 1t rests upon
the dealer, upon the drinker; in truth,
whenever intoxicating liquors are sold,
it is by the permission of the people,
and the responsibility in the end rests
upon society as we'll. The individual
is above the state. and when q majority
rise for temperance in earnest, it is
within their grasp.
sThe joints of GOOdland are a pro-
duct of the citizens wish. They are
selling liquor by the grace Of the men
and women of this city, and so Ienient
has been the rule over these internal
holes that when the jointists said they
could not continue their business
under the pressure of a fine of $50 each
per month. the authorities kindly re-
dueed the fine to SO The people of
GoOdIand want the saloons, else they
would not be here. They are licensing
them for the purpose of raising rev.
enue to build sidewalks, and otherwise
adding to the improvement Of the
town; but never in my life have / seen
so great responsibility bartered away
for few paItry dollars.
San alarming practice which is o.
tanning among the upper classes, and
which is making for woe in this cOun-
try, is the serving Of wine at fashion
able parties, thus educating the child
rem Of the home to look upon this
