SAVE THE CHILDREN! THEODORE L.

BY REV, CUYLER.

The press is discussing very widely the attempted cures for drunkenness, One ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cures—especially when they prove to be bat catch-penny quackeries. The only infallible specific against the curse of drunkenness is to stop before you begin The time to instil the principles of total abstinence is in childhood: and one of the best places to do this is in the Sunday school. Good instructions in the home may be strengthened there; bad influences ae example may often be corrected there “rhs of thousands of children do not re- ceive any moral instructions anywhere else. Why should not the most widely destructive sin in our land be made pro minent inthe one place, where prevention may be made most effective ?

Missionary societies are organized in every Sabbath-school to encourage beneyo- lence among children; but ought they not also to be taught to abhor what sinks

| human beings lower than heathenism in

our own land? Ifa child is taught to avoid profanity, falsehood, theft and im- purity, should he or she not also be taught to abhor drunkenness and everything that may lead to it? Ifa bey is told that the stealing of a pin leads to the stealing of a pound, why should he not also be told that the first taste of wine or ale may kindle the appetite that has sent so many bodies and souls to perdition? A wise teacher says to the scholar, “My lad, it will be a wholesome act of self-denial to

put a part of your spending money into }

the missionary box.” Why not go farther

and inculvate that principle of self-denial |

on which the total abstinence practice is built? It is the business of a Christian

teacher to buoy the channel with plain |

warnings against the customs and practices

and temptations that are to be encountered |

on the stream of life. Paint as in letters of fire—oh teacher!—on one huge buoy

| these words: “Whoso committeth sin is the slave of sin;” and on another, “Wine

biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder;’ and on another, “The drunkard

} shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”

The moneys of R.G. Dun & |

reference

to E. W. Ballinger, of this materials purchased on the ruery, 1893. Wiman being in urgent straits for monev directed the cashier of K.G: Dun & Co. to make out a cheque to the order of Mr. Bullinger, and instead of transmitting it to him in payment of his account, deliberately forged the name of E. W. Bullinger on the back of the cheque and deposited it to his own credit in his

city, for

own bank. The account of Bullinger on the books of the firm was debited |} with that house in the usual course }of time. I need hardly say that these acts of Wiman’s were wholly with-

out the knowledge of Mr. Dan, or of any of his associates in the firm of R. G. Dun

| & Co., and that since then they have paid

to Mr. Bullinger the sum which Mr. Wiman, ou the day named, appropriated by forgery to his use. A few days before the Ballinger case just recited, viz., on the 20th day of January, 1893, Wiman com-

| mitted another forgery under circumetan-

ces very similar. On that date R. G. Dan & Co owed the Campbell Printing Press

j}and Manufacturing Company the sum of

$5,580 for two printing presses purchased in May, 1892. Wiman procured from the cashier of R. G. Dun & Co. a cheque to Brower, treasurer of the pretext that he desired to pay the account. He then went to the Campbell company, and telling them that R.G. Dun & Uo. were short of funds, asked them whether they would take notes for their agcount instead ef cash. On Mr, Brower acquiescing in his proposition, he made two notes cover- ing the amount in his own name and de- l.vered them to him. He then forged the name of Ogden Brower, treasurer, on the back of the check and appropriated it to his own use. All of these facts were con- cealed from the knowledge of Mr. Dun or others of his associates, but they subse- quently, on discovering them, paid the

Mr. Dun first learned of any of Wiman’s crimes in the latter part of February, 1893. Neither he nor his assistants in

| R. G. Dun & Co.’s had had any suspicion

of the extent of them or of the amonnt embezzled by him. That could only be

| ascertained by a critical exatnination of

their books which has recently been com-

leted. But discovering them, Mr.

dun immediately, on, the 20th day of Feb- ruary, 1893 terminated his contract with Wiman, dismissing him from his employ and has never seen him since. On learn- ing that his crimes had been detected, Wiman offered to transfer to Mr. Dun cer tain rea} estate interests on Staten Island of doubtful value, but Mr. Dun, learning that Wiman was insolvent, refused to ac- cept them or to receive any preference over his other creditors. Wiman, there- fore, made a formal assignment for the benefit of nis creditors, but his assets have amounted to almost nothing. Mr. Dan did not submit the proof of Wiman’s crimes to the authorities on first

on

discovering them for several reasons. In the first piace he was moved by con- siderations of sympathy for Wiman’s

family with whom he had been on terms of friendebip for many years, and the piteous appeals for mercy which Wimen made to him ima letter. In the second place he had then no appreciation of the

; extent of Wiman’s embezzlement nor of

the length of time during which he had systematically abused his confidence and betrayed the trust reposed in him. The whole hietory of Lis many doings had to unearthed from the voluminous records of the business of four or five years. [It has required 4 vast amoufit of time and labor to tind all the irregularities by

| which he succeeded in embezzling so

large asum of money. The whole ac- count, with the history of each item, wee not made up until a comparitively ré- cent date.

that. What sound ethical objection can be made to a boy’s signing a solemn pledge never to touch an intoxicant? It is no more a “cowardly act” than it is cowardly fora youth to stay out of a gambling- house. A temperance pledge has saved tens of thousands. I verily believe that, under school and college days. The pledge system ought to be resumed and put in practice again in the homes, in the Sunday schools, in the colleges and in the com- munity.

All Sunday school libraries should be well stocked with more or less books like Sargent’s ‘Temperance Tales” and the best productions of the “National Temper- ance Society and Publication House” (58 Reade Street, New York.) That society

has issued some capital books to point the |

virtues of abstinence and the miseries of strong drink. Their little paper, “The Youth’s Temperance Banner,” is very at- tractive, and in misssion Sunday schools may be a preacher to the parents of many

a poor child as well asto the child itself. i

The chief thing to be done to-day for the spread of temperance is to enlist the young on the side of entire abstinence. Curing drunkenness is desperate business, and only a wreck is saved at the best. To

wait for every saloon to be closed by pro- |

hibitory law is to wait until millions have been ruined. If we cannot shut up the slaughter-houses at once, we can keep the young from being enticed into the drinking habits. For the sake of home and commonwealth and the Church, let us, with God’s help, strive to save the children, If the two hundred thousand Sunday school teachers in the land will do their part, this greatest of all social re- forms will the sooner be accomplished.

Loypon, Feb. 28.

Late inquiries of Press reporters tend | ty confirm the report that Gladstonee’s re- signation is inevitable within a few weeks. | The Liberal are divided in opinion as to | whether the retirement will be temporary | gr permanent. Gladstone himself tells | his friends that his hearing is going witb } his sight. His health otherwise ia good. | The private secretary of the Premier will neither affirm nor deny the reports. The most he will say is that the positive state- of the Evening News that Gladstone has j resigned is entirely unauthorized. The

Evening News says that the Earl of Rose- berry has been offered the premiership, but has declined it; later it was offered to | Earl Spencer, and he accepted it. The
