HI. ’•FORGOD AND HOME AND NA TIVE LAND.” 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 L " hits ribboned band moves on, e depleted ranks fill up and with ever increasing numbers and re w d courage they press forward Who nm ß * n chlld ' like faith upon His will, aJHIT” 10 ,l * a i?reatends unthwarted by The time has come when people ' ai ‘Unt allord to sneer at a move ®Dt which is endorsed by good great men and wemen every andPk ai 'd alread y» we find here there a revulsion of feeling, Ciau g° of sentiment, a “Saul among the prophets,” which aie straw like indications of favoring winds. 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 Id. d. 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 RIDS WANTED. 4EORGIA, FLOYD COUNTY : The Board of Commission rs of Roads and Revenue of said county ask for sealed bids to scrape, paint and adjust the three iron bridges belonging to the county, to wit, the bridge at the foot of Second Avenue, the bridge at the foot of Broad street, and th- bridge over the Oostanaula river on Filth Avenue, leading to the Fourth yuan!.
