. lllght la this argument may bo stated to bo
1 that whleh accords with the Divine will and
utposcwhiuh , is coiifoiinablo to the Supreme
tnlo of the Supreme God. Is prohibition in
such accord I Does It si conform 1 I do not
think so. Nevertheless you may hold tlio
contrary opinion and I cannot anathematize
you as au heretic in consequence. I cannot
llnd a plnco where the rightuso of anything
on earth is prohibited ton Christian man or
woman , nor ran I Hud a plnco whci-o the pr >
hlbitory principle , ns applied to liquor , is
definitely laid down in the blblo , Nowhere
is It said , Thou sh.itt not drinlc wiuo us It Is
ft Bald , "Thoy shall do no murder , " or "thou
l vdiidt not steal , " etc. Such being the cose , in
the absence of positive command , ivo
must search the scriptures and en
deavor to discern from them the
Lord's purpose. Now I believe , that in
every essential to mihation , the purjioso of
God U cleary ) expressed , M > that Ills will
cannot fall to lie apprehended hy His
creatures , therefore , slnco prohibition is not
BO uxpro scd , It Ii not nn o-isanthl to salva
tion rtnd therefore a matter of opinion to bo
bused upon the evidence.
Also , wine nor spirits , of Itself , Is not in
herently nil evil thing ; there is no inherent
evil or wickedness in nglusiof wlno ; unless
you argue upon the old and heretical Idea of
agnosticism , that nil matter Is evil , I think
you will bo forced to grant the truth of my
proposition. My reason i I can not believe
that tied would authorize the usoln the high

.Therefore I do not think It right to prohibit
it. 1 p ass over the objection that the wiucs
referred to were unferinented , I am con

Some dlsatlsfactlon is being expressed In
"Wosloynn ministerial circles at the manner In
which the lists were made up of representa
tives to attend the foi incoming American
Methodist ( Ecumenical council , and it is no
torious that among many of tlio elected rep
resentatives , both cleric and lay , ofllclnl in
fluence and personal canvass had to do with
their election.
Joseph Parker savs : "Personally I nmnot
afraid of any hostile force that is arrayed
against Christ. I am more afraid of Incon
sistent Christians than of clamorous and rude
opponents. When atheism builds its nest In
thonltar , that altar is no longer safe. Pious
atheism is the worst. The piety that praises
God but never obeys him is the most vicious
and ruinous infidelity.
It is said that the reason why the eloquent
and learned Canon Llddon receives no prefer
ment , though a blshopnU : has been vacant for
several months , is that this foremost Knglish
clerio had once the misfortune to offend the
queen by addressing her from the pulpit of
the Windsor "Madam. "
Chapel Koyal , , as
The Guelph prldo i-ould'iiot ' brook such famil
iarity , and her majesty forthwith commanded
that ' 'that ' man" should hover moro address
royal cars. '
It is claimed on the best of authority that
the Judgment of the in-inmto of England In
the Bishop of Lincoln cn < b was prepared , nnd
that the archbishop was , ready to deliver It
the Saturday before tUo..long vacation , but
ho was urged to delayf its promulgation In
the interests of the now .fchurch. The ceremonial
menial mixing of the w.jter with the wine
will bo condemned , nnd probably wafer bread
by inference , out Sir K. Phlllmoro's views on
the Injunctions of EUwaiTl VI. ns to the two
altar lights will boestablished. . "Vest
ments will not bo tou'chcd upon , and , of
course , no question has arisen as to the
bishop s cope or miter.
A curious sect has been discovered in cr-
istancoin Chirk county , Ind. In Claikcounty
the sect is represented by only twelve mem
bers , who meet twicoa month , once on tbo
first Sunday and once on the third Sunday.
Thu first meetlnx Is hold at Scllcrsbnrg and
the second ut Claysburg. The odd thliiu' l.s ,
that the sect refuses to adopt any nuino to
distinguish It , except that they say that they
are simply chrlstmns , with only the bible for
guidance. They hnvo no pastor , each mem
ber being supposed to take part In lending
the devotional exorcises. At each mooting
all the members are fed five , and if any ono
Is sick or disabled thu others support him to
the best of their ability. The sect has a small
mcmlwrslilp scattered throughout America
nnd Clormaiiy. All the members so far uro
Germans.
