Rev. A. lie lisldwta, preeideat of the es-
eoeutten, incepted the 'hair, and in ta-
troduciss the btsbop said he had to cur -
mot a Might error that had crept into
the moretug papers. It wsa stated that
their mssuut that evening ens a wanes-
ties

a mistake, beceuee this was their urdia-
sti7 m.ee.hly meeting, and would have
beer. held un 11.1.mday evening under any
aircuentsuces apart frost the jubileeset-
viees The labors and efforts of the
Whop in the noble Cause ..f tewper.uoe
were, he thought, weii, known to •very
Christian man and woman throughout
tbe length sod breadth of the Dominion
of Graads-(epplattw)-sod he required
no formal introduction.
The Bishop .:f Huron, who was re-
wired with greet °.rdielity, said : The
@ sb)eet before us is that of temperssoe.
It is use d these subjects the vast im-
portance of which we con Dever ignore
I1 is a greater question than that ..f re-
presentation by papulation; it is a greeter
questeoo than any poluical one which is
agitating the country at the present time;
it is a quectioo that comes into the homes
of families; it us a question that affects
the happiuess of the people at large; it
affects all religious; it affects all parts of
our fair Do011uun; It is the one grant
terrible question that ought :o be exam-
ined, and ought to be made • matter of
earnest action I would just ask you to
n otice how many there are who mourn
the terrible edicts of intemperance. It
Comes to its %i time es stealthily as the
petals fall from the full blown row ; it
creeps into hint at beet Silently and
tile* till,. bat it is just like
rust' L1rTl.s wean
that grows in the masonry of soros great
buildaog. Y .0 .ill not notice it at first,
but as it grows it riptide, it los•+us the
masonry, red tit.a.:y separate* the stones
altogether. And when we look at this
growing, terrible ;ismer the guwtent that
presewta itself is wrist a to be done, ..r
an anything be done 1 Ooe powerful
lecturer described the effect se follows :
Supposing, he said, that there went over
the co.uutry a telegram that nue of the
Allan steamers had struck epee s rack
in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, mud every
person ou board was lost, there would be
mou g all over the country. But
supposing the next week • similar acci-
dent occurred, and a second ship struck,
and a second cargo of human lives wee
loot, and then a third and a fourth, sud
he said the whole country would rise and
say, "Let us remote the rock; let w get
the rock that is ruining our stwwers,
which is killing our people; whatever dy
ramite can do let es do at. 1.et us b
up the rook." There i. •neither i -m t,ei .i
that rock is intemperance, and • oeie ...

we to sit down with folded arena and say
that we admit the 0.11 is great, we admu
that the sorrows produced are man,. but
the question is a grand im1osaib..ity to

course- -it most he allowed to ravage and
kill. I do not tooth that is the answer
that should ger given, nor d.. you. I
think there is • great deal that may be
done, and i propose spending this even

an terrible in 11s action, but what the
L •rd Jesus Christ can overoorre it. and
make that man • miracle of Hie grace.
There is just this, that we eon ell *pprw-
bend. 1f we were in • heus which
aught fire, I suppose that the instinct
of serif preservation wonlu be soffcc•ently
strong to maks the people move toward
the door. It would be • matter of per-
sooal work; and the first great truth that
I wish to bring before yon is this, that
in handling the goestion of intemper.
ance. what are we willing to do person-
ally 1 Now, I pat this to Christian men
sod Christian women --"What are we
willing to do personally r' You know
there are people who may affect enthusi-
s.., and may say they are elves,• deploy:
Ina the evils of Intemperance, enol so far
they were in the right course, hut we
wish to come • little closer. What are
you willing to do yourself 1 Are you
willing to beonmetntal abstainers for the
sake of impeding the evil you iso fre-
q'.ently .l.ttlnte 1 There is very little
use in 'yin t that they object to the evils
of intemperance nnleas they are willing
to make some ?hind of sacrifice. A earn
may say, 1 hare the liberty to drink and
Gee wine as bag as I do sot abase it,
and therefore 1 choose to us.. .he liberty
and take the drink. Now, I wish to my
that there is • hig(her law than that,
which says that we will eat no sweat nor
,sea no drink if thereby we cause • bi►
18.r to offend. There is the power of
.sample, there is the power whish (Sod
has given to us to deny nur.elvew for the
sake of others. and 1 ask each one able

that' are doing individually to arrest the

(Appls.as.) There are • greet m•sy
people who say that
Tall" Alta noDaaare ostiium,
and soh u I hear this stated I no not
deny that they are. Yu -i *abut say
that they are drunkard., that they tres-

all moderate drinkers. Usesimeinsaly,
n ot 0oa.auu.1 , they are utter tie cause
o1' -ries etlhe hopeless rive. Itis
from the ranks of the modulate drinkers
that the szess ave drinker is drafted.
Th. Bishop here drew a miming and real-
tstic peoture of the drunkard ataed..t
till the dram sheep was opened, .very
trace of (realiseme goes, the eyes sunk,
the Lace emaciated, the body bent, the
clothes la tatters, and the poor mestere
shivering to the cold and biting blast.
You, he awunsed, who are moderate
dnukers, I would ay W you sulemoly :
Remember that you responsible for
the intlueoee you 'alert, and that you are
to consider where your influence t.od..
If you, y.sreelies, become total abetain-
en you will be doing your pert towards
steaming tbe greet tide, and towards
fighting the battle. (Applause.; I do
not my that you will eeoo.eed is every-
thing. I do not wish to ay tp.t you
will have always that victory with re
Raid to the tempenines question, but you
wilt have the mti.faetion that you harp
done your part, that you have occupied
your ground, and done your best I
sant you to look at the question from a
national standpoint. There area great
many people that find fault with the dis-
tiller., that tied fault with the taverns
that bad fault with the public vendors of
liquor, hut I wish to say that the tav-
erns si d distillers and manufacturers are
only living just w long as the naii:,u
wishes them to five. (Apple nee. They
are the oreatares of the pc. , r, and it u
not the tavern -keeper that you are to
find fault with, it is with the community
that supports him there. Tine question
i.,
WNl) IS TO ES eaVED,
the young man or the tavern -keeper
Are the sons and daughters of our Da -
tion to be saved, or is the liquor traffe to
be preeerveci as the ooe greatladium
of the national liberty I So the liquor
traffic is built up, it is suppofted, it is
sustained, buttressed by all kinds of leg
ulat10D. I wish to ay that the ques-
tion is a national gs•stioo; I wish to ay
that the way to deal with it is to deal
with rte community at largo. Som. -
times people laid that they found fault
with this Act or that Act; I wish to say
that when the nation is aroused it win
enact laws tor itself to govern this traffic
I wish to statedistinctly that the princi-
ple of the law must be in the people, the
law must be written io the people's
hearts, that the community itself must
be educated, meet be tsu;bt in the prin-
ciples of total abstinence. I therefore
say, educate the people; and I .ill give
you 100)0 hints for education. I ay
educate first by means of Roods ot Hope.
1 cannot iso'tr)ugly commend the Baud
.4 Hope. Let the young grow up with
the principle of total ahstinence es the
warp and woof of their being, and is due
time the temperance sentiment thtou.h-
ou' the land would be such that no legis-
lation could oppow,and which no human
poser °laid effectually stay (Applause.
Do you a ish to mould opinion 1 Then, I
say, do it by the young; ger to the legis -
nines of life. The next point I wish to
i impress upon you is this, let the church -
re work spiritually, nut merely to edu-
cate the young, hut let, them take it up
and lot them never ream to pray fur the
blessing of Oed on the work. In cos-
ol•tdtne, I would say t.) ynu, while engag-
ed in the great work of temperance re
form you must otter the words of
despair to any one. I know that there
are slime who say, "Now, that man is
beyond hope." No one sow beyond
hope. tine powerful writer says that
man may be brutal, but no man is a
brute. He would be beyond hope if
there had been no Jaw Christ..
