TH E LIQUOR EVIL

Shy-By his sermon on Sunday last. the Bishop of Charlottetown supplied an example that may well be followed by all the itiinls- ters of all the chitrches. "Tem- perance sermons" should be more frequently heard. The law itself cannot, as we ull know, prevent the sin oi‘ intcmpernnce. it must be co-operated with by the minis- ters whose duty it is to rebuke sin and admonish and instruct the people. and It must be maintained and enforced by oflicers oi the law. Wlthal there will he some iiiteni- peraucc, for the sin of inteniper- ance ls one to which humanity has a. particularly strong tendency. It is not wonderful that practically unsupported by the voice oi’ the clergy. the luw has not wholly pre- vented the evils affecting the pub- lic. caused by _the lnteiuperance of

individuals; poverty, crime, ills- ense and death, as well as the drnnkartfs eternal damnation.

There ought to be teaching from the pulpit, in lilCtflCilllfiifl. and in the homes, concerning the Liquor Evil. and its effects; and there ought to be denunciation. as well as puuishmentnl those who make money by the sale of that which causes the Litiunr Evil.
