Rev. Reinhart from Richmond, Va.t
delivered a lecture on temperance at
the Presbyterian church last Sunday
afternoon of nearly two hours’ dura
tion. His topic was, “As it is in the
South,’’ but he devoted his address to
the temperance question in general,
much to the disappointment of many
who went to hear how it was in the
Southland, to which very little
allusion wss made. Like a good
many speakers on the subject, tyie
gentleman was rather too intemperate
in his remarks to be.convincing, and
said very little outside of the stereo
typed expressions of the usual lec
turer on the subject. He is a very
rapid speaker, too much so to be dis
tinctly intelligible to his bearers, and
lacks to a very large extent the pleas

hearers’ hearts so telling In such men
