Our General Assembly annually declares strongly in favor of prohibition of the lilsor tr•fo. Last Assembly resolved : , That oar people are hereby earnestly exhorted to ase their utmost endeavors, In every lawful way. to carry the plebiscite In favor of prohibition by an overwhelming majority ; and thus tree the Charoh from one of its deadliest foes, our land from un- told 'misery and elms, and our modern drtlis•Yw from its direst reproaoh and shams." loins tstenty-Sys years ago we heard Principal Oman'. at • odd= meting In Halifax, speaking In favor of one central Government University and against State aid to denomtnatlonal colleges. Ile opened his terse, Whine, speech with one of those pithy raying. which great men sometimes coin for posterity : " If you west to con- vince a man that he Is right, argue with him." Do not be toe severe upon him when he now takes to press and platform against prohibition. May it nee be possible that the learned Prlaelpal has takes, in award. awe with hs own dictum, this somewhat novel method of oosvinolag the Foyle that they are right to following the ' ear - asst sxhortatieo" of the Assembly and helping the work whbh the Assembly de- scribed as " freeiar the Church trees see of Gs deadliest foes, our land from untold eldery and orals, and our modern civiliza- tion from its direst reproach and shame." Temperance people are used to the eppoe. rim of the liquor interest, and perhaps be- come too Indifferent to It : but opposition from sMxpeetd quarters leads lime to ex- amine mere closely their foundatloas. and thus become more esviaeed of Ws import - mos of their great trust and more more ear- nest is its behai!.
