III. The Liquor Way Is the Wrong
Way prov. %: 1882.
Skillf Il indeed are the advertis-
ing devices of the liquor interests!
They associate their intoxicants
(poisons) with holiday festivities,
happy family gatherings, social
preferment, and so on. They do not
picture the bleary eye. the babbling
tongue, the wounds without
cause" They carefully overlook
the broken-hearted mother, the rag
ged children, the empty cupboard,
and the devastated home life. They
say nothing of the men who have
lost their characters and their jobs,
and of the women who have lowered
themselves beyond description be-
cause of their love for liquor. Let
us in tenderness and heart-broken
humility present to our Sunday
School classes that picture, which
is disgrace to our nation. The
wine may look red, and it may
even go smoothly down the throat"

Few houses, in what is now
washington County, survived the
terrible raids of August and Sep
TENDER 1856, excepting those that
were constructed for the purpose
Of defense and in which the set
tiers gathered to defend them
selves. Probably most of the set
tiers, at that time were concen-
trated at Conococheague and the
home of Michael Cresap at Long
Meadow, to which place Colonel
Thomas Cresap had retreated
from his place opposite South
Branch when the pressure of the
French and Indians became too
strong for him to hold out there
any longer. After the Indian
raid of 1855 had subsidized with the
coming of cold weather, the In
dian raiders and their French al
lies must have entirely left this
territory and returned to their
homes on the Ohio River.
During this winter, house we'll
known to the writer, was erected
on the spot where the former
home had been burned in August.
This house stands today. Consid-
ering the stress of the times, dur
ing which it was erected, it was
a pretty good sample of back
woods architecture. Built of logs,
it had hallway, a room called
the big room, stairway from the
hall to the second story in which
were two good sized rooms, from
the hall a stair descended to the
leanto kitchen and cellar. 1t also
had deep porch facing the
South with pillars. A large stone
chimney was built on the outside.
This was about the model of most
of the better houses of the time.
Fifty yards distant was the spring
house, built of stone, two stories
and no window, but slots from
which the rifles protruded. The
lower story was divided into two
parts, the front through which the
spring flowed was cool and in
which the milk was kept. The
back room was said to be used
as storage for liquor, for all farm
houses at that time had stills and
liquor storage. The old story
goes that the slave boys, in order
to steal the liquor, would get
down into the water and crawl
through the, small opening thru
which the stream ran. The color.
ed people slept in the upper story
which also afforded good protec-
ton against the Indians. Rifle
fire from the spring house could
sweep practically all parts of the
residence and out-buildings. It is
said several Indian attacks were
repulsed from this spring house.
When the men were home and
their rifles in good working order
it was not healthy place for hos

in high esteem by the Colonial
Army and became the terror ~

Only a portion of the snrino
house remains at this day The
walls have become unsafe onJ
most of it was taken down about
fifty years ago. This wall which
was about two feet thick. shouId
be standing today but for the faot
that it was hurriedly butlt ~
small stone with much rather
poor mortar between. 1t did stand
l25 years. This building had two
narrow doors made Of thick
boards, swung on strong wooden
hinges. There were no other
openings excepting the ports in
the upper story and the small en-.
trance and exit for the stream
The access to the second floor
was gained by a stone ramp on
the South end of the building
The lower door was in the north
end and the upper door in the
South end of the building. A cas-
tle-like structure indeed.
The ports were six in all, made
narrow on the outside surface and
wide on the inside so that a rifle
could be fired at different angles.
The roof was made of split logs.
During the Indian WARS it was
customary for the settlers to cut
down all the forest trees around
their dwellings, as far back as
their rifle fire would reach. The
Indian loved to fight hiding be-
hind trees. This provided an
open space very difficult for them
to cross in order to reach the
buildings and exposed them to
the deadly aim of the settlers,
which an Indian dreaded nothing
more.
This house, and others of the
same kind, in the North Mountain
settlement, sheltered the families
who stood the brunt Of the Indian
wars during the years Of 1856,
1857 and 1853. From these same
families were drawn many of the
165 Washington county men who
accompanied General Forbes in
the second and victorious expedi-
ton against Fort Duquesne in the
fall of 1853. 1t is we'll known and
is matter of authentic history,
that. the va1ient conduct and in
genfous. method Of fighting, by the
men from Western Maryland, Sc
cured a successful ending to the
expedition. Fort Duquesne was
destroyed, and so far as the Po-
tomac Valley was concerned, The
French and Indian War was over.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP.
1.-THE Scientific Basis of Temperance.
The American people are alert to
the forces which threaten the bull
warks of national life, and are
ready to take intelligent and eff
tective action against them when
fully aroused to the danger. The
powers Of evil know this to be
true and are careful to avoid any
thing that directs our attention to
what is constantly going on under
cover. The liquor question is one
of our nations most serious prob
lens: The devastating results Of
the widespread sale and use of in
toxicants will only be known as
Christian men and women unmaSk
this wicked business which poses
under the banner Of congenial and
pleasant living, and proudly points
to its recognition by the govern
ment as legal enterprise.
The facts are available through
various temperance organizations
and in such books as alcohol and
Man." by DR.. Emerson of Column
bia university. The Sunday School
lessons for 1887 present four oppor-
,tunities to bring the matter square
fiy before the adults and children
who are in our Bible Schools. We
:lave already Gan. SD considered
the economic problem. and will
later deal with intemperance as a
social and moral evil. The lesson
for today affords a special oppor-
tunity to touch on the scientific
side, presenting intoxicants in their
true light as a poison. Look up
the word ''intoxicate" in a good
dictionary and you at once have a
picture Of what beer. wine, and
whiskey do to the human body.
The Christian approach to any
consideration Of the matter Is by
recognizing that man is a spiritual
being, dwelling in a physical body.
Our first Scripture portion presents
"a foundation principle.
, 1. We Live in a World Of Moral
Responsibility (Gen. 1878; 19:23-25).
Life is not a careless drifting
from day to day, from pleasure to
pleasure, into sin or not as one
may choose, with no responsibility
for ones actions. Man was created
in the likeness and image Of God.
He possesses the power Of choice.
He knows right from wrong. If
he chooses to do right he has all
the resources of the omnipotent
God to call upon as his strength and
stay. But if he chooses to turn his
back upon God and upon Christ, and
to go into the ways of sin, let
him be sure that there is a day of
judgment to come from which he
shall in no wise escape. The de-
struction of the wicked cities of the
plain, terrible as it was in itself,
is but a prophecy of judgment to
come. See Luke 10:10-12.
