O, what a desperate evil is intemperaooe, and what thousaodsof evila does ttoocasion or produoe 1 Juat look over our beloved land, cursed with intemperanee. Four- fifths, or perhaps oioo-teoths of the orimes, murders, and sTcty kind of wiokedness, wretoheiioess, aod suffering, arise directly or indirectly from iotemperaoce, from tbo nse of liquor both io small aod largo quan¬ titiea. It does muoh positive harm, and destroys oi prevcnta muoh good—A»m» ntucA none ean tell. Waa it not for liquor, wa would likoly hava but little uae for ooutt- bousea, jails, poor-houses, peoiteotiaries, asylums, &o. Our taxes would be light, aod peaco and quietneas abound.

Now, liquor is really a poison to a woll man, to iotoxioate and kill. Tho man who buys it, drinks, luffors, and dies, pitied and blamed; but the seller goes free. Christ, tho author of life, is oruoified, but Barabbas the murderer, is set freo. But you may say the aeller has a lioense to do this. Yes, and men have had lioense to sell indulgences, to give pooplo liberty to do—what ? To commit sin ? Yes, and to bo Indulged therein. And now tho soller has a license oot ooly to giv* moo the liberty to commit sin, bnt to foroe them to commit ein; not only to kill drunkards, but what ia far worso, to make drunkards; not only to deprive them and theirs of eojoymeot io this life, but also in the lifo to oome; oot only to bar heaven, but also to open the gates of hell.
