iiiL iiV: lYDEN - VVEDNESDAV. Sept. 1 liiiit tongue which is so dilr Little men feel Ul:e ginntg, i nine or txirpentiiic would hcUukcvjiVom me tluvt which ug!v men feel'haudsome and| want to take a barrel? No, do him no good, and which TEV PER:\NCE. Ol course this is a temner- anee meeting. You i’.ave met^ litre time and time again and discussed this suliject, And I will necessarily be compelled to tell yon some things you have probably heard many limes before. But we are told that repeti tion is the law of memory, And it w'ould be well for us to remember many things con nected with this important subject, WhatdocsThe word mean in its full sense? arc told by the best authority on this subject that temper ance means a moderate use ot all good aiid a total ab- stinance from all that is in any way hurtful. Temper- ance means all that is good noble, honorable and elevat ing. Intemperance means all that is low debasing, degrad ing and unholy. V/c r.rc told in the volum d truth to “Prove all things and hold fast that which is good” ’And father we aretold“toucli not, tast not,handlenot,that which is unholy.’' And wc are admonished that all vve do shottld be to thg glory of God. order to show the beau ties of temperance it will be well to show some of the re sults of intemperance. We jH'Opose now to speak main ly of one particular kind of intcrhpcrance not that it is the only kind in the world, But it is one of such ot mag nitude and one that is doing so much, to shipw^'CcUthelives and fortunes of so many of God's created beings. Wc deem it not out ot place to consider this Giant Evil which wccall Strong Drink. If we can give good reasons for abstaining from the use of a thing ^-e should certainly do so, First let us consider its effect upon the mind. The best writers upon the subject tell us that Alcohol has great affinity for the brain and we have all reason to believe it from daily observation. Some writer has well saul: Why will a man put that into his throat which will steal away his brains? The bram is the pilot house a persons course of existence. The govenor of the engine that carried us through life. 'Jhis poison acts directly upon tlie brain v?hat is the (iuccne? The power of reason is dethroned to, a great ex tend, that which distingush- es man Irom the lower ani. mals is partially sec aside. Reason being lost the lower natuteofman takes preem inence, Reason lost virtue is lost, This deadly foe disarms the guard over our will na- ture.s. The mind because so enfeebled that King Alcohol, this devil in solution takes full controll and what wt would shrink from with hor ror before we become anxi ous to take hold of. borne will say the base character exoibited was in the man be- ult to manage at all times becomes perfectly ungovern able, ideas flock in thick and fasE Conversation is improv- becaiise the edge has l.icm taken off the undcrstandiiig. idiots and insane people talk a great deal more than intel ligent people as a rule, King Alcohol makes us believe tlmt all we do unde." his influence will all be well. But instead of the clyssian fields through which he promised to carry us. We find ourselves upon the quick sand of destruction and ruin. That man that was on a drunken spree last night, when lie awoke this moni’iig with reason restored to him would probably give all that he was worth to be as he was 48 hours before, but alas it is too late, wine has knocked him. Well doe.s the wise man say whatsoever is deceived thereby is not wise. Plow does it effeet the health of an individual? Ac cording to the best authority its eflects on the human sys tem are truly marvelous. Al cohol has great affinity for water, when taken into the system it absorbs the liquids that are of so much import ance for digestion, food re mains undigested, and the but strong drink acts in this! makes me imor indeed.’’ way*. People take too much medicine any \ ay. It is dan gerous nnl'.'ss j ’-operly man aged. Shun this evil least a worse nialody fasten itself upon yourbeing, alcoholism is a disease thatisnmninginore es and filling more graves than all other ei)idemies combined. Tlie father may be a moderate drinker, his son may' iidierit his taste and be come a drukard. Is it not as reasonable to suppose that a drinking father wouM have a drinking son as thathc would inherit any' other quality. God only knows how many fair ones have been blackened by this vice. Every thing known to be debasing to hu man nature and dangerous to society is readily’’promoted by' this universal vice. If a. per son wishes to do a real mean act more than like he will take King .-Vlcohol as a partner, He has caused many])eopleto get into troulfle but how many' has he ever taken out? Not a single one. AYt a great many resort to him in time of trourble, Kould you go to your worst enemy to get a spicial favor? One who had Let us shun the evil and avoid I. , . , I fooled YOU on every occasion the results. How' are people affected by it in a financial way? Cemld there be a swifter road to financial ruin and poverty? How often it has put out the kitchen fire? How many women and children hasitclothcd in rags? Should some one go to y'our house kill the farthc and take your home from you and all the comforts of life turning you upon the charities of a cold world. Would you not think him a miserable demon? What is our country doing spending $100,000,000 annu ally^ for strong drink and about the same sum for crime and disease? Is- this vice proljably knocked y'ou down APPOINTMENTS. blood is robbed of its nutri ment. The delicate mcm- brances are parched and cease to act. The liver becomes swollen and fatty' degenera tion ensues. The heart of the drinker is overworked. The nerves that regulate the pas sage of the blood to the heart becomes paralyzed. AH re sistance ro the blood is over- eome. The heart flies like the mainspring of a clock wdien the wheels are taken. We have the aarhority' for the statement that 3 or of al cohol an amount not unfre- C|uently taken by a moderate drinker, will increase tb' heart beat 6000 times in 24 hours; a dagger of w’ork equal to the lifting a weight of seven tons to the height of one foot. What is the result of all this? The heart fags;, the brain and mussels ai-e ex hausted. The machinery of life has been run down, weak ness and exhaustion follow. The man wlio follows this hobit ot poisoning himself is committing suicide upon him self, and it is not at suicide to one’s self ■'vith alcohol as to shoot down, or poison your self. God pity' the man who ruins his health with this conse indeed it is a dead ly' poison “it bitech like* a ser pent. What does the word; intoxicate mean. The Greek word for arrow is toxon, they dipped the point of their ar rows into a poison and those thus poisoned were called toxicos, Ilenrc' word in toxicate came to mean thOvSe who were poisoned by alcohol. A noted physical! says the banishment of alcohol would not do-prive of a single one of those indespcnsable agents who, modern civilization de mands. Other agents could be omi)ioycd in every ca.5e. Not only is alcohol a poison but a large part of the driiil- worth 20 times as much as fore drink entered. \\ ell but | q£-{.heday'contains otherpois- we are command to keep our bodies under subjection. Well might Solomon say “Wine is a mocker.’’ Y'es it is a vile deceiver.” A little of this poison will make a fooi feel uncomon wise. Some poor men become so sick while their brain is bathed in on as Arsenic, Lead, Prusic .Ycid, Nux Vorn, Opium, Hcn- Ijanc, tobacco etc. T’c may do good sometimes as a medicine, but something else would do ctiually as tvell, Oh yes it is a great medicine atid there are a great many' ick people in the world too, this litiuir fire. They feel that! But many times the remedy thev could buy broadway and j is worse than the disease-. If then have nioiiey left. the education of onr children? That is the way the people of America appreciate it, If the amount of money spent for each is a critcrian, how many really drinking men do not spend $25 per year for drink; yet if you follow this for 20 years you have spent the sura of $500 which with the inter est would amount to about $1000. You have gone that far on the minus end of the road, not only' in money but every other way. How peo ple misapply their means then coi-nplain of their bad luck. We all have such to do with making our luck. Docs the man who spends his money for drink get value received? Does he get that which, does his body one par ticle of good? No, Does he get that which, improves his mind? Not in the least, Does he get that w-hich, makes him any better a man morallyr' For j.u'omis, How then does his indulgence pay him? He throws a-w'ay his means of living and bis reward is im poverishment in mind, body', pocket-book and soul. Well docs the prophet say why- spend ye your substance for that which is not meat and your money for ’that which satisfieth not? Suppose the money- spent for drink were given to the work of the Gos pel, Christianity' would soon cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Siqjpose the money-were spent for cduca tion, magnificentschoolljuilri- ings -^ouhl l>e erected in every community- from Alaine to Texas and intelligence and morality implanted in the youth of our land. Will not God hold us accountable for the means he has given us whereby we may benifit our selves and those around us, We should like for others as well as self. He has placed nothing in our haudsto waste either health morals, or mon ey. He are told that a good name is rather to be chosen than|greatriches. Has stron^i drink imjiroved the character ofanindividual? No,butthis giant will has robbed thous ands of that precious jewel, Shakesphere says who steals my- purse steals trash, but lie a person takes a dose of ([ui- who steals my good name and rolled y-ou in the mud. Y’et there is about as much reason in it as there is in drink ing to drown trouble. Foi at the last it stingeth like an adder, fl'lie greatest reason that can be urged against strong drink is that it maybe the cause of yourloosingyour immortal soul. IThat shall a man give in exchange for his soul? VEhat arc a few days here to vast and gp-eat eterni ty. Christians of America think of, 60,000 being S'v.-al- lowed up in this whirl pool of .sin and ruin annually. ITith- out one became of light, one ray of hope. lEith the dai'k- ness and gloom of midnight staring them in the face. God’s sentence has been pro nounced against them. No di-unkard shall enter theking- dom ofheaveti. Cannot this eviibea^.'if intemperance be slain before ho devours this ovely land of ours? Is there no balm in Gilead no phy'si- lan there. Y’es tliank God the glorious wordsofreformation is going on, and the temper- ancerefiu-mation today' stands at the lead of all the reforma tory- movements of tlie 19th, century. The temperance army o ’ today is as grand an army- as ever unfurled a banner to the breeze of heaven, and theugh they are fighting an army tliathascarricdmore destruction in its make than the armies of Caesar Napole- and Geo. HI combined they will atlast be victorious. For he who urges them on, their captain, chief, and King is the King and Lord oflords. Victory will notpaid him. IV'hen our county is de livered the winged dove of love and mercy will raise a chant of praise above the proud ainerican eagle, Let our preachers preach temperance. Teach it to the children teachers, and thereby save tlie hopes of generation yet to come. Temperance is queen of all that is tight just, honorable and true. Compan ion of reason and guardian of the pssions. Sweetest of life and all it comforts. Then if you would extend your nar row span make the most of life you can, let temperance constantly preside y-our best physical! friend and guide. Composed by Mattie Philips. This temperance laclure or address was delivered by sister Mattie Phillips, one or two years before she died, rler brother gave it tome a short time belore she died and I have always regarded itasi valuable treasure, and now for the ben* fit of tile y OLing I will have it printed. Many of you remem ber that she was often giving ad vice to the young. It seemed to bo her mission. Sne was a regular correspondond to thi paper as long as rile lived. Now she is sleeping that blessed sleep. Slio still sleepeth. Yours in Christ, Moli.ie Daii., Elder M. L. Miller wH lireach at the following times and places. Pitt county'.
