We said in our last, that the society Of
Friends, or Quakers, did not receive into their
communion any one who engaged in the traffic
in ardent spirits, and that they also discoun-
tenance the use Of it as an immortality Long
ago, that great and good man, John Wesley,
declared and published to the world, as fol-
lows:-S. c. Temp. ADJ.


The men who traffic in ardent spirits, and
sell to all who will buy, are poisoners general,
they murder by wholesale, neither does their
eye pity or spare. And what is their gain ?
Is it not the blood of their men? Who would
envy their large estates and sumptuous pala-
ces? A curse is in the midst Of them. The
curse of God is on their gardens, their walks,
their groves-a fire that burns to the neither
most hell. Blood-biood is there--the founda-
ton, the floor, the walls, the root, are stained
with blood. And canst thou hope, . man of
blood, though thou art clothed in scarlet and
fine linen, and farest sumptuously every day
canst thou hope to deliver down the field Of
blood to the third generation Not so, there
is a God in heapen--therefore thy name shall
be rooted out. Like as those whom thou hast
destroyed, both body and soul, thy memorial
shall perish with thee"
