TEMPERANCE CRUSADE-
Some of its Salient Features.
THE WANE OF THE GREAT EMOTIONAL FU
RORE —WHY IT FAILED TO ACCOMPLISH
I IHE PURPOSE OF THE CRUSADERS.
! That the temperance crusade is
! rapidly on the wane, and will soon
! cease to occupy the place of a “nine
i 'fry’ B wonder,” is an undeniable fact
.—a fact, too, which, while it may dis
' appoint some, should surprise no (me
who has given the subject a moment’s
intelligent and impartial thought, io
speak the plain truth in plain words,
ndthing but the season of the year
prevented this movement from being
a clear case of “midsummer madness.”
It originated in what we conceive to
bo two grave errors, which it is al
mc It as difficult to excuse as it is to
understand. First, that it is possible
to break up (he traffic in and con
sumption of intoxicating liquors as
long as man’s stomach and conscience
i remain what-they now are. Second,
the spiritual exercise called pray-
if we. consider its divine or-
IWin— bo any more efficacious in pub
[ ,Tc than in private.
The injury indicted by the improp
er use of intoxicating liquors is too
self-evident to require a word of con
firmation or comment; but looking a'
that use in the light of experience and
common sense, is it not the height ot
folly to suppose it can be utterly sup
pressed, either by moral suasion or
unfriendly legislation? Mon have
drunk more than they ought to ever
since the world began, and we are
compelled to believe they will continue
to do so as long as the world stands.
In those races which are sunk the
lowest depths of barbarism, as well as
those where civilization has touched
the very topmost point, the vinous
appetite is found, and with it the
means of gratification. No other in
stinct —except those of self-preserva
tion and the propagation of the spe
cies—seems to be so thoroughly im
bedded in the constitution of man, re
garding him collectively and not as
an individual. The evil resulting
therefrom is no more apparent now
than it was two thousand years ago.
In the literature of Greece and Romo,
penned centuries before Christ was
horn, may be read us sharp denuncia
tions of the vice of drunkenness and
as eloquent, apostrophes to temper
mice as 1 ver dropped Horn the lips of
Father Mathew, or mingled with the
exhortations of Dio Lewis. The sages
and philosophers of those days saw as
plainly and felt as keenly as the good

poring their zeal with discretion thf/y
never attempted to annihdiate with
what reason told them was beyond
the reach of human power. Like the
many other irremediable evils which
afflicted them as well as us. they were
forced to accept arid endure it—at
the same time doing all they could to
outrol it. What can we do more?
There are persons who crave these
stimulants, and who will have them
at any cost; and at all hazards. Ami
just so long as the demand exists the
supply must be forthcoming'. More
over, it is absolutely certain that the
more prohibitions there are thrown
around the vending and drinking of
ardent spirits, the stronger will lie
the desire for them and the greater
the efforts to obtain them. Sto'en
fruit is proverbially sweet, and many
a man has walked a mile ;or a glass
of whiskey sold in a dark celler, who
would not have discoved jus thirst
had the ex met of corn been 111 an
open bar-room the next corner.
Prohibition and suppression, no mat
ter wha' shape they assume, a’ways
have failed and always will fail —at
least until human nature undergoes
a radical and permanent revolution.
All that is left us to make the best of
what we cannot help, and, endeavor
by' precept and example to teach the
propriety and necessity of self-re
straint. Beyond tins we may not go,
and beyond this we have uo right to
The original feature of the crusade
now hasten ig to its close, is tlio in
troduction ot prayer among tbe oui
(U>or exercises. \Ve presume that the
Christian people who have taken part
in these exercises would be shucked
if they thought there action was an
argument against their oivu faith m
prayer. Yet it is nothing less, it
there is any efficacy in the petitions
to the Supreme Being, they will avail
as much when offered in tho church,
as in the closet, or in the middle ot a
crowded street, or among the rabble
of a drum-shop. The great Hearer
and Answerer of prayer does not
surely need such incongruous sur-
roundings as these to induce Him to
bend a listening car and return a fa
vorable response to His suppliant
children. Yet siucely religious men
and '.yomen have deemed it their du
ty U> thus draw together the sacred

prajei-bMT they have unwittingly*
helped it. There ought to
bo aiyrmiding confidence in the power
of prayer—but the lame and impotent
c inclusion of the movement in which
prayer is the main element, has in (he
estimation of the community at large,
seriously undemiued that coijfidenee.
