{amount of fuffering intemverance

jtown o drunken wman, goes home
‘:md kills oro of his ehildren with
a blow, and cripples the other two.
.In the sae paper is an account of
jiv drunken drver dashing down
the.street. Just as he wag turning
ltlm COrner a wolgan. Wwas crossing
the street, carry g a babe and lea
ding a 2irl four years old, and that
man drove over them, injuring the
woman geverely, breaking the little
gitls leg and killing the habe.
I Therelived in a small city in Tn-i
diana an industriovs mechanic.
]ll’o had bought a lot and built a.
house and paid- for both. He w:mi
‘t]m father of two childron. One was
three and th®other Jour years f.;lf‘;,!
The day before Christmas his wife
was called to see & cister. She said
to her hushand svhen . starting.
“Take care of the children, and if
I don’t get back, try to make them |
enjoy Christmas.” All of ‘Christ-i
mas day he staid in, took care of
and tried to amuse the littlo enes.
Whon evening came he put them
to bed and then went out foral
walk, It was.a dreadful cold night. |
Ho. met ‘Eome eompanions, who |
lsuid: “Chyistinas only comes Ol‘u’_’(‘!
{a vear; come’ and Have o arink”|
He went. He drank. Late at night'
ho found his way home. The fire
had gone out. e left the door o
pen.. He pulled the coverihg off
the children and wrapped himself
(init. When his wife retwrned in
the next- morning she found lz(\rl
husband in a drunken ,\'lot‘p;‘n::i‘
[ her children frozen and dead. Havye
you not read »and <-riu§l Sver the
storv of the “Babcés in the Woodg?”?
bug a'thousand timey radder are
these stories "of the habies in the
drunkayd.
Turn to’a chapter of the French
Revolution, and Iread “Death is
vomiting in great floods.” Here are
little children gillotined by twen.
tiecs and hundreds. At another
time time they are thrown:in
to the river before their mothers’
syes. Meotiers go to Marat and his
party and' plead for their rhildren,
and only hear, “Let them drown ;
they are woolfiings who would soon
grow to be wolves.” Dreaaful days,
you say. Indeed they were; but
this Marat ofinteiperayce snateh
es from our American mothers not
hundreds, but thoucands of chil-
Fdren every vear, and condemns
cthem to a death more lingering,
‘eruel and disgraceful, = - ;
There is no end to the stories of
this kod, (hai could be teld, and
the s:f{f([:?s'{'.'t-}'lifi:',;' “about thew is
that they are true. T mention bat
one more. 1t taok plpce on a Chyist

joy was in him. On that Christ
mas he was playing with some oth- |
er boys. A drunken man came
'down the strect Hourishing a pis

was & scream and the son of this
woman was dead. :
Whose children are safe when
saloons are open and drunkards,
who are more dangerous than wild
beasts, go about? Can you preserve
your manliness if you treat this
subject with indifference? Tt has
been well said, “That s a god
less soul thatls not concerned with
God’s .quarrel.” Looking at these

be grasped at once. “'Fhe’ mind

"' GONCLUSION, i
What can we do? If these articles
have madé any impression on yoar
hearts you are asking, what is there
that I can do? When the wall of Je
rusalem was rebuilt, each gne built
next to his own house. So our work
should, i egir at our own homes and

No one in the liquor business can

breath. Every teacher should bhave
intelligent and ctiong convictions
on this subject, end should faith
fally teach thein. Make every child
feel that a’person yho uses intox

difficulty with thig plan is that it
workg altogether at the wrong end.
Instead of deyoting all their power
to keep mey from becoming drunk
ards, they engagce in the desperate
undertaking of waving deunkards.
Dr. Cyler says: ¥ hava worked
long and hard ta reforin drunkards
and in the vast majority of cages
have failed. T have received into
church membership a considerable
number of persons wha appeared
to be entirely converted from drink

try and a stol of it weveéals some facts
that are not pleasing to lovers of tem
| perance. YFor instance, in the three years
,e:‘.ding with 1823, the increase in the
?Cuvsxunpt?gm of distilied spirits was 28
194 por cent. Of ~wine 24 43 per cent. This
may be taken as an encouraginge sign, in
that the incyease i valtliqudts vo ‘ereat
1y extoeded that in spitits+ and jt is oft
¢n said that such figures show that beer
is drying out whisky. The facts scarce
seent to warrant that eonclusion. The in
crease in population for three years
named was probably not much over ten
per centy, and certainly not gver twenty
per cent, It would seem, therefore, that
the comparative increase is malt liquor

less but becatico they fovg bedr more.

years mentioned, the mno:fiu;t consumed
was eleven and a half gallons of liquor of
one sort and another for each man, wo
man and child in the county, This gi\'e;t
nearly four gallons a year, DBut two
thirds of the population, roeghly epeak
