CHRISTMAS.
Beforeanothor issue of this journal,
Christmas will have come and gone
and had Christianity left no other leg-
acy to the world than this, the obliga-
tion of society for such ananniversary
would be in itself inestimable: For on
the return of eretiy such season, the
berakd-angles song of "peace on earth
and good will to man" is' re-echoed
whereyer Christianity has found an
entrance. How many poor are made
happy by the return of Christmas:—
and specially in the large cities and
centres of a congested population,—
where at this very season tons of thous-
ands are clamoring for the necessaries
of life, what a benevolent arrangement
it is that Christian hearts and hands
should be found ready to minister to
the suffering poor, not only in public
highways -but inhouses of correction,
in jails and penitentiaries, where the
unfortunate victims of crime are re-
minded ina tangible form that. One
"who became poor that we through His
poverty night be made rich" came in-
to the world as at this season "to seek
and to save that which was lost." Al-
though our charity, may sometimes be
misdirected, yet it is better that the
guilty and the unworthy should partic-
ipate in our bounty, than that worthy
and needy objects of our solicitude
should suffer. So long as the world
stands there will be rich and poor•
among us; and it seems a wise and
econon•ic principle, where capital and
labor are so often working on antagon-
istic lines, that the very poor should
be aided and encouraged by our bene
factions, while those more highly fa-
vored with "the good things of this life"
should be doubly blessed by ministering
to the wants of others and at the same
time by a reflex influence doing good
to themselves. We wish our readers,
one and all, a happy Christmas and
many pleasant returns of the season.

Communication.
Reasons Against Prohihi_
t1Dn,
A "correspondent" has handed in to
our office the following "twenty reasons
against Prohibition"—which, so far as
we can judge, appear to be the out-
come of very minute investigations
made by the Royal Commission apportl
ted a twelvemonth ago by thy;\ Derain -
ion Government. To our minds, that
Commission is much more likely to re
sult in good than the proposed plebis-
cite ordered by the Ontario govern-
ment—and which, as every one knows
was a mere political make shift in or
der to give the Marter Bill the go-by.
Neither Sir Oliver Mowat, nor his
"wicked partners" in office, have the
slighest desire that the plebiscite should
prove successful; although the Prov-
ince
rovince will be thereby put to considerable
trouble, and the municipalities to
much expense. It was one of Thomas
Carlyle's caustic sayings that "this
world is mostly made up of fools;" and
the consummate folly evinced by many
so-called moralists and preachers of re-
ligion, in the matter of prohibition,
seems to justify Carlyle's pungent wit-
ticism. Howeyer we give our readers
the benefit of the following.
"20 RDAsoNs AGAINST PROHIBITION."
1 It is an undue interference with
human liberty.
2 The Scott Act experience is proof
against the successful working of pro-
hibition.
3 Prohibition would lead to smugg-
ling, fraud and hypocrisy.
4 lu Maine and other places, where
prohibition is ltgalizcd, alcoholic, 1rq
oars are freely bought alid sold.
5 Medical experts state on oath that
alcohol is indisponsible in the treatment
of certaiu diseases.
6 The moderate use of alcoholic Jiq
uor, of certain kinds, is conducive ;o
health and longevity.
7 Prohibition, to be effectual, would
require unanimity for its enforcements.
ii Prohibition is contrary to the prin-
cipals on which the world is governed.
9 Prohibition would lead to indul.
gence in opium and other narcotics
more injurious to health and morals
than alcohol
10 Regulation of the liquor traffic by
high license and government inspec
tion would better serve the purpose of
temperance reform than prohibition.
11 Much of the public crime • is not
attributable to habit&, of intemperance
as criminals would be defeated in their
plans by the excessive use of spirituous
liquors.
12 Experience proves, in Canada
and elsewhere, that the more stringent
prohibitory enactments are the greater
is the increase of drunkenness,
13 In countries where light, wines
and beer are freely used, there is less
drunkenness titan where other spirtu-.
oris liquors are indulged in.
14 The liquor traffic yields a revenue
to the state of 6,000,000 to 7,000000 an-
nually.
15 No prohibitory enactment can
make men moral or remove evil out of
the world.
16 The true theory of temperance is
subjective'self government, or (greek)
"self-restraint."
17 The folly of a plebiscite is evident
from the fact that the people are not
always the best judges of legislation.
Did Moses submit a plebisciteto the
Israelites before giving them the de
calog ue?
18 Medical experts contend that, so
long as alcohol can be taken without
affectingthe brain, it is beneficial as a
nerve restorer andw s a ents re a t
p y e of
tissue.
19 The constant use of whiskey and
milkfoses ormedical purposes P ur in hospitals
and otherwise, 13 an argument against
total proliibitioii.
The same law which wouldp rot
Mbit the use, of alcohol, is as much
needed against social impurity, excess
in eatiri g'., or in the irernodet ate•use eE.
unyth"tig contrary to nature.
