You may take almost any ntau who hits ■ been hurled out of society, and trace him lack, alul yon will find that the curse ol'iiileni|ierance was the cause of it. I Imve heard numbers argue that there is no harm in taking aj 1 glass of wine once in a while, hut I tell yon there is as much danger in becoming a drunkard by taking a glass of whiskey or brandy once in a while. I hope the time will come when the poison stuff will lie put out of existence. I tell you my friends l am no advocate of drunkenness, I took the pledge against it, ami if I keep my right mind I will never 1 break it. Til s great, evil of intoxi cation is the master sin that, rules on earth. I tell you this single evil is ' inflicting more injury upon the inter- 1 ert ot ottr country than all the evils combined to-got her. Now Ii lie boy* you know your i-arctits love you, and if von wish to gratify them in any rc«|ioct, take the pledge and against drunkenness and keep it until 1 deal In il yon will do tliis you will always have some control of your mini! in regard tojobedience. Yon Imve no idea w lint bad feelings your icirerts Would have if you would grow Up under the influence of in toxicating liquors and die anil till a .lriiuknril's grave. Numbers of them had rather see yotl die now, ■ him lit d.e the humble death of a diuiikard. I tell you there IS some thing in liquor which distinguish es it fron. all other drinks; it is the leading parent ol hII crime* that cun 1 lie nieitliotictli it leads y«nl to swear, lit 1 rails jnnt to the jail, il lends you |io whet the murder's knife, and tlu* worst of all it will lead you to the .gallon's. Yon imfsl remember that lile is la-fore you Bill of temptations; and if you wish lo master tempta tion take the pledge and keep it, My advice to all who are under the sound of my voice this evening that hav'nt their names enrolled Against intemperance, do it at once, And il every body would do this, yon would see that the human race would become lietler, nobler and more elevated. Young men yooii that reverend gentleman prooeeded in his risnal eloquent manner, taking for his text, Isaiah, chapter 42, verse 11. At the conclusion of the discourse the Bishop read, and the choir sung the triOilh hymn. The Bishop then proceeded to deliver his Episcopal Address. He next gave a fueling eulogy on the decease of brother Gabriel llice, who has served in the district lor a number ot years as a faithful and earnest laborer, who fell asleep in the triumphs of faith on the 14lh of September, 1874, after earnestly exhorting the brethren to keep the faith.
