But when we wish totcst Iheir aincenty in this
matter, and ask them to sign the pledge, their
aliawe; is. "No, 1 will dnpk a UUU. because it

of this number, you are not in favor of the tem-

U,e cause. "Ut that u not for a it agatjut us,
and As tAol fStAerrM not with ut teatitreth

men, yet drmk little, are in favor of Uie priufent

prudent-use men, -that a little liquor occasional

A' . niu. mn tall us what

The truth is, this prudent uae ia that indefinite,

do," replied the toper, "but I always got drunk

that of the toper'. Thoughtless,' self.sumcient'

cull upon these prudent-drinking christians to
pause and reflect lor a moment upon the tremen

that they are not guilty. The drunkard plead
