@Speaking the truth in love" This is the
motto we have selected as being best express
ssiye of the course we have endeayored, and
shall yet strive to pursue, IN the conduct OF
this Journal 1t is taken from the Word OF
God--the Holy Book Of which we are : not
ashamed,o because its .precepts have indeed
been "our solace in, many troublous hour"
and because being governed by Them has al
ways proved beneficial to us-maklng us not
only happier, but also lar more useful than
we could ever have been withcut IFS Divine
teachings Nor is. there an individual whose
eve will follow these lines that can say with
sincerity, g The Bible has done me no good,
directly nor indirectly" Mo- this would be
rpreposterous. the man who should so express
himself would at least be regarded as one who
cared not what he said, or else one who had
no true knowledge Of himself.


AS in other respects, then, SO in relation TO
our manner Of conducting this paper, would
we be,contpolled by the spirit Of the Word Of
God. 'SThe truth " we must and will speak.
We can do no good without this II is the
truth, inits silent but powerful workings, that
effects the change in men. Let it 60 forth,
and error retires with blush from its pres
snce. Wrong principles may not be success
fully attacked by passionate addresses to men.
The light of pure principles must dispel the
gloom Hence, we honestly believe that every
number of the Columbian Fountain that is is
sued will aid in benefting our race, because
we design that every number shall be full of
rruth-and this spoken in love. Experience
has long since taught US that no converts will
be gained to any cause unless its advocates
manifest truly a spirit of love for those who
differ with them and, though we must ac-
knowledge our liability TO become excited as
other men, yet we know fully that our calm
-est and most deliberate arguments and per-
suasions have done, and will still do, more
than any thing else TO advance the interests Of
the Temperance Reformation. We shall,
then, strive 10 continue 10 exercise torbear-
ance, while we shall steadily continue to keep
before the public facts calculated to awaken
attention 10 the horrors of intemperance.
