Moses waved his rod over the sea like a magio wand, and the attendent powor of God dividod tho waters for the enlvation of his poo- plo and the destruction of thoir oncmios. Joshua, his successor, commanded tho sun in tho heavons to stand still, and the powor of God prolonged tho day and gave Isracls bold and foarless londor tho vietory. Tho youthful David mot, in scomingly unequal combat, Goliah, tho Philistioo ginnt, who had with impious effront- ery dofled tho armics of the living God; five smooth stones ho chose from tho running Dbrook, and, with his simple shepherd's shng, hio faced thofoo and vowed to vindicate tho honor of his God. With youthful fervor ho whirlod the sling, snd God eped on that fatal stone, and it sank like load in tho brmn‘of Philistia's: boasted champion. The Irophot's forvent prayor lacks up and unlocks the clonds ofheavon, Tho obediont phout, the unques- tioning prayor of faith, aid tho power of God conjoined, toppled iuto ruins tho solid mansonry of Jericho'’s massive walls, The spirit of all truo roforms thus intertwines itsolf around in conscious experienco this grost | etornal truth, God ever with us, a vory prosent help in ovory time of tronble. Gigautic systems of wrong dofy tho feeblo offorts of men, and moclk at the prayers of women, of thomselvos alone considered. Slavery heoded not the crics and tears of millions that called up to God in one mighty torrent of agony for 200 yenrs. But statesmen and soldiers did thoir daty, and God ‘wont forth with our hosts, and slavery is gone. Tho warm heart's blood of slaughtered thou- sauds killed the roots of the accursed upas treo of slavery, and it hay passed away foraver. Intemporance has struck deep its roots, and sout out its spronding branches of deadly night. shade over all tho land, and within tho last ten yours, full 800,000 souls have been numbered ns ita victims, out off, blasted, withored, and_accursed from tho walks Of men, of the hiopos of etornity. Intemporanco may bo ro- garded aa tho wicked one in groat power, sprond- ing himself liko & greon hay troo, and flourish- ing like tho cedars of Lobanon. It has hitherto doflod all tho assaults made upon it. Thore hnve beon two clomonts of weakness, however, in all past tomporance movements, Ono olement of inofficioncy hes been tho spas- modic, phonomenal nature “of ench succeediy movoment, The firo of roformation has burne brightly for a whilo, and gone out, for thd most part, loaving denser darkness behind, Somo z00d, of course, has boen necomplishied, but tho foo 18 still mastor of tho situation on almost overy flold. A fow faithful workers may bo ° always found at their post, bolding on fim to tho end But tho gront mass of temporance roformors haye soon grown cold, and their ardor has died out; and mrinly becaties of tho inadoquntencas of the moans orployed to the end sought. It is impossiblo to cleanse o fountain by purifying tho stroams that issuo from it, or to change tho nature of o treo by cutting off the brauches. And this brings mo to notico suother element of Wonliness in pnst reformntory measuros. ‘Thoy have boen too much in the line of human axpodicnts, and finito windom, in social nud co- oporative organisms outside’ tho_church; and lagking very much that deep-ioned and hoartfolt rolimco on God, and tho power of oternal truth, to rosliza the mccomplish- ment of tho much desired rosult, “Pomporance hins not boon enough & part and parcol of our roligion.

Ropentanco is gobuine that Dbegius in the convictions and moyal consclous- nes of tho soul. When, upon this priuciple, o dram-sellor closes his shop, or a dram-diinker turns from his oups, the clmnfin is pormanant, and s roal vietory I achioved. But, upon any otlier principlo, s0ouct or lntar, the'* the dog will roturn to his vomit, and tho sow that was wushed, to ber wallowing in tho mire,” Tho presont womon's movomont is unlike all athers, not only In the spontaneity of its dovol- apment, but in tho intensely moral arid roligious phago dttonding its riso and progrows. Thoy onn truly say with tho Apostlo, *“'ho woapons of our warfaro are mot carnal,” but mighty lbmugh God, to the puiling down of strong- holds," And this war Lo bo successful, and to rid the country of the curse of rnm, must be dirocted not simply aguinat tho saloons; for, wore evory saloon-keopor concoalod to-duy, and overy ssloou closed, whilo mitlions of “dram- drinkers, with unbridled pasaions and burning thirst are crying, “Give mo rumi! oh! give mo rum,” of what avail is it with this class uncon- quored ; they would soon start all the infernal [ onginery of hell, andhavethojcomploto organizod cohiorty of damnation in full eporation, Lot this movenent not only compuss tho suloous about with tho wonderful forcoof prayer and song, but latit undortake, as of paramount importance, and a8 ono of the best .means by which to closo the unloous, to pormoato the minds of tho dram- drinlkers with the forco and powor of truth, to conviuce their Judgments, to ronovate tholr con- solonoos, Lo rostrain thoir’ appetites, and to turn them nway from thoir cups and tholr evil ways.

It rolls on insolomn majesty, gathering mo- mentum as it rolls, until, with irresistiblo power, it sweeps away and carfios futo oblivion evory- thing that sfands in tho way or darcs to oppode its propross.

It necda no prophet to tell you that the atmosphere will " bo purer, tho sky clearer, tho sun brightor, and tho world of mankind froor and bappier in- finitoly than now, Burely one might then thiolk that the Millonpi~ um's holy hour had dawned, and earth's rodonyp- tion come at last.

If you cannot do this, if tho results I Lave anticipated are unattainable, then suroly tho rum powor can nover bo extorminated by mornl force, And I am not of the numbor of those who supposo that by prayor and song alono in tho strects, and in’ the eeloons, this worl is to bo accomplishod. And wheraver this iden has provailed, to tho exclusion of evory other considoration, n most lamontablo mistake has been mede, and a fearful reaction will very soon tako piaco. Prayor itsolf prosupposes tha usc of means, und is porfectly consistent thera- witl, And in this waifuro,whilo wo should pray none the Iess, yot we should ugo all monns, moral and legal, to back up our prayoers, and, . while God heurs, let mon bo made to feel.

Nover was tho initintion of & re- form movoment moro manifostly divine, It eprang dircotly out of the great rovival wave of xoligion that was swooplng tho Innd, It stood on tho Rook of Agos, and ploadod with prayor and songs. Tho impulse that impelled it was the woo of milliunss tho strength that clothoed it was faith in God. The object in view was tho roscuo of tons of thousands of immortal souls from the drunkard's grave, and the drunk- ard's drondful etornity,—tho rostoration of fallon humanity,—the froeing of thoueands from onslavemont, tho bringing back of joy to wretchod homes, the rese on tho pallid chobks of henrt-brokon wives, and the return of sun and gladnees to the dreary honrta of inno- cent children, If tho emaucipation and onfrau- chisomout of 4,000,000 of colored peopls wero choaply bought in four years of dreadful war, at tho costof tho best blood, and mountnins of tronsure, and vacant chairs in almost every fom- ily, euroly the rodomption of millions of Amer- ican citizons and their familiea from the curuo and usn of alcohol, that siruck wido ss otor- nity and doep as hell, could not Lo too dear whon bought by prayor and toil, and uprising of moral eontimont, and eampaigning, and pledging, and voting, aud lifo-long foalty to thio grand work. The movemont struck the poople like & thun- dorbolt out of n cloar sky. Intomperanco had Deon on tho incrondo for years, Thio monoy paid for driuk in this country Iin threo yonrs would poy tho national dobt. “Thousands of tho best citizons wero reoling down to destruction, and tho armios of young mon wero onrollod on tho muster-roll 'of alcohol, nud were on tho march to ruin 'and death; the wholo nation was staggorlog, Tho large citios wore in tho Lands of tho rum power. Men wero bonght and sold in politics by tho saloons. Infact, rum was dletator, and the saloons made laws for our mu- nicipaltics. Tho nation seemed asloop or stupo- flod. Suddenly the lightning flashed over tho land the nows that the battle had beon reuowed in a littlo town in Obio, in & strango way. At firat tho movement was tronled with cold indif- foranco.

Mr, McOhesnoy, “rine Ity 1T, K. Church, Thio Rov. Simon McCliosnoy, pator of . Uty Mothodist Eplacopal Church, lectured bofot l:/ a congrogation lnst ovoning on tho subjeot, “L the Bible Authorizo Wine-Drinking 2" The to. was takon from II, Potor, iii,, 16 : “ Thingshare to bo undorstood, which thoy that are unlearned and unstable wrest as thoy do the other Sorip. tures to tholr own destruction.” Ho spoke sub- stantially aa follows : ‘The work of the temporance roform scomed to him to bo serlously complicated. Whethor it wns not hindored moro by the diffor- oncog botweon its professed {riends than by the opposition of its avowed cnomios, was an_opon quostion. The largor shaore of renl workors had, sfter many exporle ments, come to the platform of total abstinenco, whilo snothor class asserled that tholr position was oxtromo, radical, untonable, and impractical. Tho lattor snid tlint tho Bibla could hardly bo mado to sanction total abatinence, 8t. Paul have ing advised: Timothy to tako o little for his stomach's voke. If such nssertions woro con- fined to bor-rooms, thoy might be passed unno- ticed ; but the pulpit, to n certain oxtont, was teaching the dootring, and o fow ministers who could boast of an orthoxox ereed advocated mod- orato drinking, Buch an interpretation of the Biblo wonld bo gratifying to all modorate driukers. Thoso Ulristign _grocors who had dopartments for wines and brandies because so many ladios ured thom in cooklug, would onjoy thatvorsion of tho Beripturds, Thoso pious men whose buildings lind boon ranted to saloon-koopers would proba~ bly profor that Gospel to nny other, Tho agroo- mont of such o Goapel witl tliec viows of thoso dramecliors who adorned the walls of thoir es- tablishments with Scriptural mottoes, like Paul's advioo to Timothy, should not bo overlooked, In court, when Witnossos' who nover had n chanco tu confor together agreed upon & point, such agreomont was vory forciblo; thoreforo tho romarkablo agrecment betweon s certain style of proaching and tho views advocated by saloon-keepers should bo considered. I'rom such promisos, it socemed that tho distanco from tho pulpit to tho decantor was not 80 great a8 many had supposed. The spenkor at this point alluded to tho many difforant interprotations waich lind been given the Bible. Some persons, ho thought, would raiso tho objection to the book thatit was not sufliciently definito on many points, and could not bo clearly undorstood, " His roply to such was, tiat they would do woll to inquire whethoer tho obacurily was not the fault of the medium through which tho light was rofracted, ruthor than tho rosult of say imporfecs tion in tho light itsoMf.

Ho conld not got through the outward sholl to the deep meaning —the.roward for those who earnestly searche tho Scriptures as for luddon treasures. If it must bo admitted that the Biblo sanction- ed tho use of intoxicating wine as n beverago, thore wora' threo scrious charges agninst th book, Firat, it contradicted Nature,the wisdom of God haying constructed the human body so that it robolled against poisons.

But thoro was no contradie- tion, for tho ronson that in one class of passages tho word wino meant now wine, sweot whio, tho fruit of tho vine, tho wnfermonted juico of tho grape. In the other class of passages it was culled sirong drink, and degcribod us having ‘beon fermouted, and tho peoplo were advised to “Jook not upon the wine when it is red,” * whon it giveth his color,” ““when it moveth itself.” Tlfiu distinction eaved tho Biblo from tho charge of contradiction, tnd the explanntion was sus- tained by an appeat to classio nuthors, Somo ot thio passagay most commonly quoted in support of the assortion that tho Bible sanc- tioned tho moderate nso of wine iwore Liore no- . Tho sponker suggested that Paul's advico to Timothy was _from n medical standpoint, and that it was not intoxicating wine which he told him to use. Tuo Christian Church Iind done, and was doing overy dny, whata Jow, 2,000 yonrs ago, would have regagded as an offenso unto God., It had used intoxicaling wine at its sacramont. On Tuster Sunday morning, the people were told that God did not suffor His Holy One to dio corrup- tion, and thon thay wont to the altar and drank that which had eeen corruption, as symbolical of tho deuth of tho incoriuplible Jesus. I'ho officinting minister laid his hand on a cup which smelled of tho fumes of alcohol, and the peoplo artook of a villninous compound of alcohol, {::gwnol.l, and other druge. 1t was sacrilegious to enll such o mixture a symbol of the blood of the Lord Jeaus Christ, Tho wondor was that God over fovored His poople with His presence ab tho eacramont under such circumstances. Tho sin wns ono of hcedlessness, not of willful trausgression.
