The. losa which' the municipalities would sustain from a no license system -would have-to be made up by a higher rate of taxa tion on real property, and probably that class'is best able to bear the additional hurthen. If is not quite so clear where the loss to the Pro-, viticiafl'Tretwnrry-coujd be made' good; Sb ” far -. as -Ontario is concerned, already we are on' the verge oTdirect taxation, arid even without t,he loss of tlie liquor license fund we shall in a few, years have to resort; to direct taxation for Provincial -pur poses. The 'ohlv'toflTeriiative that can stave it off is tbe„ grant of an additional annual subsidy front the Dominion Government/ This does not. appear to be likely in the near future. It will therefore be con* ceded that tlie loss that would be occasioned to the.

If o«o government does not carry out their wishes another wilt It is all very well for party allies of Sir John A Macdonald to “blow him up,” as we have beard them do, for his putting obstacles in the way of the enforce ment of the Scott Act where it is carried.

Then again .Sir John’s party opponents taunt him with, political cowardice in not dis regarding the evident will ■ of the ■ people. From the appearance of things the Premier has nerve,Buffi* cient to disregard the threats of his party friends and the taunts of his party foes.

I Deai^TSir.—Hitherto I have left the “Army" severely alone being un willing to hinder what, after all, may be calculated to do some - good. “Veritas" in the letter you publish ed last week, overwhelms us -with the power of great names and liigh- pitched assertions of what he or she thinks is the mind of our heavenly. Father and our blessed Saviour. i To these I w.ould answer, (1), What opportunities have? Lord Cairns and Jno. Bright above others ot judging in this matter? Is their opinion worth any more than', or as much as, say,’ the Rev, C. H. Spurgeon*®? We know what his is. (2.) The opinion of Bishops , Mac- lagan,. How and others in. Jilvglapd. ought to be worth’mere than that',df the Bishop of Alelbourne whftse’' very language shoWs him to be a man more influenced by feeling than by sober thought. . . ., (8.) As regards tlTbse good mpn and women who have given 'up so muoh—why it is done every day. and nothing is said aboutdt. (4.) As regards the “balf-dead. ministry," I would' simply remind your readers that the large majority of ministers' stay where they are sent or called, foiPsome years. They depend fen no. adventitious aids or helps. ’ They go in and-out trying to dp people good over and over again. They bear, uncomplainingly, burdens of care,trials apd difficulties,their own and. others. They /stand . be'fore: congregations Sunday after Sunday,' week after week, preaching, not sim* pie exhortations interspersed with ‘bymnsifiut sermons with at least some thought in them, and if possible B.ome -freshness in the. way of. !pfro- claiming well-known truths.; It, seems to me that it takes mere?than1 a “half dead,” ‘‘cold-hearted" man to do alb these, duties. v .... ; (5.) Aluch is said ■ about’ the con verted prize-fighters, drunkards," fal-, len ones) and so on. I suppose the “half-dead churched" if "they unfold- ed their records might, perhaps tell a tale in this direction. One instance1 comes to my mind, A clergyman," not-unknown in Clinton, has told me that: lie has seen in his church at an' ordinary early communion no less than, fourteen reformed'drunkards receiv ing the sacrament. (6.) There is'.one view/of this question of extrabrdiiiary conversion- that is lost .sight of—the .Restraining pOwcr the “half-dead churches,” and. “cold-hearted .preachers” exercise.' Suppose, for the moment we do not reclaim any of these “sinners above all”, do ' not the churches and' ■ministers save thousands from running into excessive vice of all kinds ?. If credit is due to any agency, surely the shepherd who keeps.' ninety 'nine" sheep from wandering far away is- entitled to credit as much as, if not, more than, the- shepherd iylio brings back one earing sheep. I am not,-'' however, claiming credit. “.Q.ur suf ficiency. is of God.".
