THE PROGRESS [OF THE ’WOMANS
CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION.
It is interesting, it is encourag
ing and inspiring to the friends of
the cause to watch the progress of
the Woman’s Christian Temper
ance Union. All over our own land
tnroughout the world.
“The truthes they nrge are borne abroad,
By every wind and every tide. ”
The critics sneer, the treachery of
friends, the hatred and oppression
of foes all are working together for
good, and the cause, despite every
obstacle, still moves on to noble
ends.
The characters of thejleaders of
ihe ,C. T. U. is an argument in
favor of the organization, which
none can afford to ignore, and
many of the fairest minded, broad
est thinkers among the men of our
•ge are giving their endorsement
sod aid to this heroic band.
Occasionally there comes an ad
verse wave of public sentiment,
and the faint-hearted, quail and
turn back, the opposers of the
cause smile, conservative triends
consider and falter— “The trampl
-1 II J dra bites and stings.” but

The time has come when people

great men and wemen every

there a revulsion of feeling,
Ciau g° of sentiment, a “Saul

All right-thinking people who
are informed on this subject feel
that nothing is surer than the final
triumph of this cause. And faith
fully, patientiy, prayerfully they
are awaiting the issue. Carlyle
very truly and very forcibly says.
“In this werld, with its wild whirl
ing eddies, and mad fomed oceans,
men and nations perish as
without law, and judgment for an
unjust thing is sternly delayed,
dost thou think that there is there,
fore no justice? It is what the
, fool hath said in his heart. It is
what the wise in all times, were
wise because they denied,and knew
forever noqto be. I tell thee again,
there is nothing else but justice,
One strong thing I find here be
low : the just thing, the true thing.
Toward an eternal centre of right,
and nobleness, and of that only,
is all confusion tending.—Await
the issue.”
Paul had not cast a stone, he
had not utterred a vote, he had not
joined in the rabble and the mot';
he had simply stood by and con
sented; and because he had stood
by and consented to a great crime
he felt, and justly felt, that the
blood of the martyred saint was
npon his hands. The corruption
of the nation is the corruption of
the sixty millions. No man can
stand to one side and say, I have
nothing to do with this. He has
something to do with it. If he
helps to swell the tide of corrup
tion, he is guilty; if he dues not
help to resist the tide of corrup
tion, he is guilty. If he casts the
stone, he is guilty ; if he stands by
while others cast the stone, and is
silent and acquiescent, he is guilty.
He is part of the great common
wealth, and what the common
wealth is in its totality is partly
dependent on what he is in his in
dividual life. —Lyman Abbott

1 DEATH IN THE STOCKADE .
(FROM WBSTHRN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE)
One part of the duty of the paid
police officers of the city of At
lanta, is to pick up the drunk men
—the drippings from the saloons
—and place them in the barracks
to be afterwards brought before
' the rec-rder who, upon failure to
pay a fine for getting drunk, sends
them to the stockade. Here they
are put to work as negroes, with
negroes, and lashed if they do not
work. Last week John M. Robiscn
was brought before Judge Calhoun
the present recorder, to be punish
ed for getting drunk. He was sen
tenced to the stockade, which in
the opinion of this judge, is con
sidered “the best place to sober up
a man who has been drunk.” Rob
ison went —was put to work, and
died. He is represented by those
who knew him as being a gentle
man, and of a good family. ‘’Only
one fault (Capt. W. D, Ellis sta -
ed) did fie have, and that was hi o
love for strong drink.’’ He had ar
rived at that stage where it was
impossible to resist. What was
this man’s crime? The question is
answered in the above statement.
He had acquired the habit of
drinking. He loved “strong drink.”
The ordinances of the city author-'
ized and required him to be fined
and put to hard work for going to
the places licensed by the city au
thorities to sell the strong drink,
to gratify his appetite. They put
the bottle to his lips, and then
when he drinks, fine him and put
him to work upon the chaingang.
It is outrageous ! The temperance
people of Atlanta should solemn
ly resolve, at any sacrifice x of in
fluence. time, money or party to
put a stop to this inquitous way
of punishing people, even unto
ueaiiij lur getting uruuk, when the
men who sell them the whiskey
are licensed to do so by the au
thority of the officers of the cityl
It is time the prohibition people
should take a band in the city
elections. Don’t listen to the
friends of whiskey when they cry
out against agitators. On with the
fight, and let the battle begin with
elections for mayor and aidermen.
Never let the cry, “down with the
saloons,” be hushed until the last
miserable den is closed forever.
Accept no compromise with the
friends of whiskev. Vote for the
•
men that will legislate against
it in city and state. Agitate and
fight until deliverance from the
cu-se shall have come. And may
God help us 1
