.vATAL ACCIDENT. -On Monday Mr.
ir limes Johns received a telegram from
Bay City, Michigan, conveying the sad
intelligence that his eldest son, William
James, had been killed in the Bay coal
ne mine. He was blasting, and the sup-
position is that his death was caused
by the premature explosion of a cart-
ridge. He was removed to the surface
and died a few moments afterwards.
...His brother Thomas, on receiving the
sad news, went at once to Bay City
and brought the body home The re-
mains were interred in the Varna
cetnetery on Wednesday last, and a
very large number cf people turned
out to pay the last tribute of respect to
the departed. He was 27 years of age,
and had been away from Thome about
nine years, most of that time in Bay
City. Mr. Johns and family have the
sincere sympathy of the entire com
munity iu this, the hour of their afflic-
tion.

MR. EDITOR : As .1 know you are al.
ways willing that your paper shall dis-
seminate useful information on any sub.
ject interesting to your subscribers you
will allow me a few lines re the regis
tration of births and deaths. As the law
in regard to these matters seems to be
yery imperfectly understood and peo-
ple often go to more trouble and ex -
pence than is really necessary. Every
birth, death and marriage is required
to be registered in the municipality
where they occur; the Clerk of the
muuicipality being the registrar. A
birth should be registered within 30
days by one of the parents of the child.
The particulars required to be given
are: -Name of shild, sex, date of birth,
residence, (lot or concessien), maiden
name of mother, occupation of father,
physician in attendance, date of report,
signature of person making report.
Fill in all the particulars on card and.
mail it to Clerk. All registration re-
ports are postage free. A death should
be registered and a burial permit pro-
cured, before the burial of the body, by
some resident of the house in which the
death took place. The particulars re
quired for registration are: -Name and
sex, date of death, age, residence, occu-
pation, where born, cause of death and
length of illness, name of physician, re-
ligious denomination, date' of return,
signature of person making return.
Cards for regiptration of births and
deaths may be obtained from any doe
tor, or clerk of any municipality. For
the convenience of residents in Usborne
towoship, burial permits may be had
from Mr, Thomas Fittoin'ofsExeter, by
banding bim the registration card pro
perly filled in and signed. Cut this
out and keep for reference.

WINE AND THE BIBLE.
As Ouoted and Commented ou
by lite Little Book.
Texts which discountenance the use
of wine and fermented liquors: " Wine
is a mocker, strong drink raging, and
whosoever is deceived thereby is not
wise." -Proverbs 20:1. " Woe unto
them that rise up early in the morning
that they may follow strong drink;
that continue until night, till wine in-
flame them "-Isaiah 5:11. "For the
glutton and the drunkard shall come
to poverty." -Pro, 23:21. " Who hath
woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath con•
tentions? Who hath babbling? Who
hath wounds without cause? who hath
redness of eyes ? They that tarry long
at the wine; They that go to drink
mixed wine." -Pro. 25: 29.30. " Look
not thou upon the wine when it is red,
'when it giveth its color in the cup,
when it moveth itself aright; at the
last it biteth like a serpent and sting-
eth like an adder." -Pro. 23: 31, 32.
"But judge this rather, that no man
put a stumbling block, or an occasion
to fall, in his brother's way." -Romans
14: 13.
This text in the margin refers for
fuller explanation to Isaiah 28:7,
which implies the excessive use. Hosea
4:5 implies that wine is associated
with other sins. The next quotation
like the first goes to prove moderation
So too the next text is entirely on my
side, that moderation is the true theory,
and gives quietus. As the laws of
nature are universal, and as prohibi-
tion might be a success with regard
to fermented drink it could not apply
to the sin of gluttony, hence prohibi.
tion is not universal and consequently
cannot be one of nature's laws. .
The text from Pro. 23: 29, 30 is cer-
tainly one for moderation, as the sin
here is both too much. and too long
continuance. The next text, mune
chapter, verses 31. and 32, has refer-
ence to strength, and adds another to
mOderation. The last quotation, the
book says don't mention wine, but says
it is a terrible rebuke to moderate
drinkers who are a stumbling block to
weak moderate drinkers I tail to et.a
the analogy. The Christian Church
Scripture informs us that Christ is the
Church; as these two opinions are dia,
metrically opposite, which can script
urally claim. their church to be the
Church.
The object of the writer of this little
book in quotating the above texts is to
discountenance the UFO of fermented
liquors in any %heathy.
My ceutention is that Scripture does
not forbid the moderate use of ferment.
ed liquors as wine; that wine is the
fermented juice of the grape. Paul in
Callations makes a distinction between
the temperate and intemperate use of
wine or anything Woe; be also cont.
mends the Phillipplaua for their moth
eration or temperance In all things.
My idea of temperance or moderation
has reference to etet.gth as well as
quantity or low continual use. Nat-
ure has axed the limit of the line of de.
marked= between temperance and in-
temperance, and man has no authority
to disobey. The wine of the Bible tuot
tampered with by man) does not ex-
ceed the temperate limit as to strength*
onsequently 11 is the good creature of
God. The act of limitation is the work
of God, and is wise and proper; the
act of going beyond the limits of mod -
oration or duration is the act of man,
therefore man is accountable and suf-
fers the penalty The Brat quotation
or text it Is claimed is the strongest
argreemeut against wine iu any quail-
tity that the scripture gives. The
wino here mentioned is in connection
with many other evils, besides it means
excess,
This little book has quoted nine texts
as apparently in favor of fermented
wine, but by false quotations he thinks
that he has shown the error of believ-
ing these quotations, mean fermented
wine, but I think I have fully estab-
lishedthe scripture teachings of fer-
mentation.
He then quotes six texts to show the
wine that is discountenanced. by Scrip-
ture, All these I have fully explaiued
in harmony with Scripture. I think
the Bible refers to wine 188 times. As
the little book mentions only 15 texts
the remainino. Scripture references
(128) undoubtedly are adverse to his
ideas. All the statements of this little
book is utterly false or misleading. I
mean tee version of its quotations. I
have frequently been end by prohibi-
tionists (Legislature) that Rev, Dr,
Talmage was a strong advocate of pro-
hibition, but I could not see it in that
light. Here is a quotation from his
sermon delivered in Washington Nov.
27th: "I deplore that we have left to
politics that which moral suasion only
can do." " That the two political par-
ties will put a political plank in their
platform the same day that Satan joins
the church and turns perdition into a
camp meeting" that a temperance re-
formation will never come through the
ballot box, His cry is reform the army
of drunkards (inebriates). Some say it
can't be done; then they thus sbow they
would be of no use in the work. (" 0
ye of little faith.") I now close this
little book controversy and pray that
God would abundantly bless all those
institutions having for their aim tem-
perance as defined in Holy writ.
