This was addressed to members of churches, who
by their eating OF meat offered to idols might destroy
some OF their brethren. Distilled liquors were not
then invented, Had they been, is to be supposed
that Christians of the first churches would have
verted grain and fruits into liquid poisons for the
ney of selfdestroyers' These christians-many Of
them-laid their necks on the executioner's block
gave their bodies to tortures, to the sword, to the
flames, to wild beasts to the oceanthey suffered the
most cruel DEATHS rather than sin, others to
sin--they died for their brethren So far were they
from promoting sin in others. Are we to look for
their successors among those modern Christians who
make and sell the cause Of all kinds Of crimes and suf
ferings' Hardly The time has come for the churches
to purify themselves. It ought to be said-In no
church in these United States is there member who
makes or sells, or drinks, ardent spirits, any in
toxicating liquor This i. the boast of Temperance
Societies When viii the churches come up from the
wilderness Of Intemperance' agsshaL.l -, +
