Johns Letter.

The story of intemperance is old as
the story of sin, and is fully as alluring
and as lurid, as indeed it must be, hav-
ing no separate connection from sin,
being a tranSgression of one of the laws
that is eternally in force, and has never
been repealed and never can be, under
license, local option or any other inven-
ton sought out by man. Prohibition is
announced from heaven and He chang
eth not.
1t is story that has been, is still be-
ing and will continue to be written in
blood, the ruddiest drops that visit the
human heart. And it is extremely
doubtful il the story will be finished,
till sin is finished and the knowledge of
the Lord shall cover the earth as the
waters cover the sea-until the genera
tons of men shall cease to rise and fol-
low each other to the graves that await
the arising and the crossing of men over
the little stage of earthly existence to
the final exit, "to the new kingdom OF
perpetual rest
The entire damnable phases of the
story are repeated from day to day,
from year to year, from century to GEN.
fury. Although the results of indul-
genee in the cup that inebriates are
written as plainly and as ineradicably
as the handwriting of God on the rocks
of the earth and the star-gemmed skies
above, the boys of to-day, like the boys
of the buried past, take no thought and
feel no fear, but follow recklessly the
alluring light that flashes from the
blood-red wine. The experience of the
II ~ 3 he
past, sends no thrill of fear along their
nerves of sensation, but heady, pulled
and confident, they jolly along till they
wake to the fact that they are no longer
free, will-power departed, bound in
cords they cannot break and perhaps
with no desire to break-a most hope
less condition.
Like puppies, we are born blind, and
me eye-opening process takes time, and
happy is he whose eyelids unclose in
season to escape a stumble and a fall.
However, no man liveth and stun leth
not. IL he save himself from falling he
is entitled to a chrome, but il he be
saved by grace he has no special call to
put on airs. The entire pathway is
thickly strewr with stones Of stumbling
and rocks of offense.
While there is striking family re-
semblance the difference is such that all
do not trip at the same "stone Of
stumbling" If all men were liars 1t
would be monotonous living. variety
is the spice of .ife." A few house
breakers and breakers of all wholesome
laws keep things moving and prevent
stagnation.
But-we have switched off from the
train Of thought We intended to pursue
when we picked up our pencil, and it is
time to stop. We have stopped.
