If, then, we have trae missionary
intelligence and ze*l, shall we not take
active measures to help educate a pub
lic sentiment that shall basiaish the sa
loons, and carry the Gospel tc the drink
ingclass, which never comes within
sound of the pulpit’s voice?
Can this be done in any other way
so well as by organized efforts, and
agitatation of the temperance question
through the circulation of literature;
holding of public meetiBgs and organ
izatiou of juvenile societies, that thus
ma y form tho habits of children;
reform the drinker, transform by the
power of Divine grace the poor iaebri

While While thG th.. is is true true, there theie arc aie many «iam
laud-owners who continue to cling to
the idea that the old plantation systeni
is the best for the South. They hold
large bodies of laud, and if they can
not not rent reni to to tenants teuaniS, refuse leiuse to to sell sen -xcent .xcepl
at prices that those who are willing to
bin are unable to pay. The land ms

has terraced his entire plantation so
as to very effectually stop all washes,

has already amply repaid the expense. good
He is of the opinion that under a
