! in the hand of one man, to accomplish the
murder and destruction of bis fellow! Oh,
then, great Author of all good speed the
temperance cause


But to the hero of my incident Look
at the effects of intemperance, as they are
spread out before the eye in this one single
individual !


Look at his body, Ragged and filthy
marred and abused His physical strength
is gone, and he staggers and reels about
like helpless babe.
Look at his mind Reason dethroned,
and consciousness almost gone, he has lost
all respect for. himself and every body else.
Witness his cursing me Would he have
done this had be been in possession of his
right mindS As it was, no matter who
might have been, he would have cursed
me still. Had been a Senator--had |
been the President of the Senate, or the
President Of the United States, he would
have cursed me. Nay, had it been Jesus
Christ himself who was looking at him, he
would have cursed him Was he, then,
at that tlme---in the condition in which he
was-was he one iota better than raving
mauiace Alas for the poor fellow! In
stead of being governed by reason, as a
man of mind should be, he was swayed en-
tireIy by the devi.


Look at his soul-that noble, immortal
soul--that soul which enders him capable
of knowing, loving, and obeying God
How impure and wicked How polluted
and blackened-by sin! 1t may he that
had he not been intoxicated, he would not
have taken the C name of God in van.''
But, swearing as he was, surely the wrath
of God was resting upon him, and he was
advancing rapidly in the path that leads
down to an eternal hell


0, We friends Of humanity! Rouse your
selves to vigorous exertion for the extirpa-
tion of this destroying evil and rest not,
until the monster, lntemperance, shall be
driven from every strong hold upon earth
down TO the bottomless pit! God of Hosts
lend thine aid TIMOTHY.
