Application.

Now what is the application OF this
truth SO broadly put, to the question of
temperance, as it Is taught among us?
In some forms of this question the an
swer is easy. The use of alcohol as a
beverage is so confessedly injurious.
even when taken i'm moderation, and 1t
Is beside SO dangerous, that all moral in
fluence, the influence of example and of
entreaty to persuade men to abandon
its use. is universally admitted TO be a
virtue. We are doing to another what
We should wish that other to do to us.
But. beyond that, how far may we go
in obedience to the golden rule?
To illustrate; the manufacture and sale
OF intoxicants is vast business. Many
millions of dollars are invested in it. Will
the golden rule permit me to enact law
that would cause loss. perhaps ruin. to
the capitalists who have invested their
fortunes in this business?
1t is urged. most earnestly and persist
emily by many that this is a legitimate
business, and that the enactment OF a
law that would destroy or seriously In
terfere with 1t would be a gross and I'M
pardonable wickedness.

Mote and Beam.

1t is not unfrequently true that the
most censorious of the church are the
weakest and most erring. To them, and
to us all in a thousand ways, this warm
ing applies. Harsh judgment should be
given with extreme caution. But when
the application is made to this question
of temperance we are fronted with this
fact: as men become pure and Godlike
they become more and more intense In
their opposition to the use of alcohol as
beverage.
