for the consumption of your fellow-men,
the pint, the quart, the gallon, of that liquid
fire which has beggared, disgraced, and
sent to the pit Of eternal perdition its mill
ions Of unhappy victims Do you, my
Christian brother, exemplify the principles
OF our holy religion, loOe, peace, and
good aoilI," when, by your example, you
inpite and recommend to your fellow-men
the use OF those intoxicating drinks which
have, beyond doubt, already led many, and,
without doubt, will lead others to the loss
of character, employment, property, do
mestic happiness, peace Of mind nay, the
loss Of life itself, by opening premature
grave, and, finally and for ever, the loss Of
the soul. Can il be possible that the Re-
deemer Of the world referred to such con-
duct as this when to his followers he said,
/" Let your light 50 shine before men that
they may see your good works and glorify
your Father which is in heaven"


In answering these questions confer not
with flesh and blood;" listen not to the
whisperings Of self-interest; be not coun-.
selled by the "mammon Of unrighteous-
ness" but answer them at the bar of con-
science noac, in view Of the high and com
manding claims Of g Christian Obligation"
as you must ultimately answer to the Judge
eternal, when called to " give an account Of
thy stewardship


Yours, Sc, OLD SIMEON.
