Letter from Rey. George Steel.
Srr,—If there is any disgrace in being known as a believer in, and advocate of the Scott Act, | wish to share that disgrace along with other temperance workers.in Charlottetown. Some time after it. was adopted I should not have been sorry to see it repealed; hut when every goneeivable legal! point in-thé way of objection wus set- tled in favor of the Act, and it began te be fairiy well administered in many. parts of the Island, 1 became, and still remain a con- vert to.an Act which is rapidly paving the | way for the entire prohibition of the liquor | Since the middle of the year 1877,

Pownal to Southport Ferry, right in the middle of the afternoon, and | met a con- stant stream of teams. A few of the men were evidently sober— but they were not driving recklessly; they were not beat- ing their horses, and they certainly were udty cursing and blaspheming. .'The re hravir was admirable. Very diff in 1877-8. Jn the latter naimed year, I drove into town on the afternoon of a market day. Within five or six miles, the gentleman who drove me, who was nota ** biguited teetotaller,” but nevertheless: a. ** temperance man,” had great difficulty in avoiding many teams, be- ‘ause of careless, reckless drivers ; and our ears were often, in that distance, assaulted with blasphemous oaths. When | asked him what it meant, he said, ‘*Oh, it is mar- ket day, and people must have something to drink.” Drunkenness, I aim sorry to say, does still exist, but I often thank God that it does not. exist. to anything like the extent that it did ten yearsago. and I be- lieve that to the Scott Act mainly must be attribated this nothing Jess than marvellous change for the better. Defective as its best friends admit it to be, its opponents Have not yet told us what greater good we are to reegive in lieu of it. On one point only are they agreed, and that is its repeal. .The liquor sellers and drinkers, and a very in- significant handful of temperance men, say that the Act promotes draukenness; while the churches, and nearly every one who has ever been active in temperance work, say that it promotes - sobriety, "Tis passing strange thatthe publican’s opinion should; be accepted ratherthan that of the churches. The repeal of the Scott Act at the present tume would be nothing less. than. a Provin- cial calamity, the widespread, evil effects of which no one can foretell. Hold, then, to what you have wuntib-erther Prohibition or something nearer to it than yoo have.at present takes its place. ~~~ GEORGE STERLE. Pownal, Nov. 17, 1887... ;

The words I gave utterance to were ‘** Christian man,” and not ** Christian gentleman.” Yours, &c., T. Hearn HaviLanp. Alma Cottage, Nov. 18, 1887. ~ — ee Unprejudiced Testimony.
Sir,— Kindly insert the following, which has recently been issued by clergymen at Richibucto, N, B., who. have doubtless been convinced of the weakness of the Scott Act and-its utter inability to cure the evils of intemperance, I would respect-. fully invite the ** high pressure” advocates of the Canada. Temperance Act to read it in a liberal and dispassionate manner. It is to be hoped that the same safeguard will, at the ensuing. election,.be accepted. by our people—and that ‘abertion knuwn as the Seott Act be stamped out.
MOoDERATION,
“* We, the clergymen m, and around . Richi- bucto, having taken into our. sérious consider- ation the Liquor License Act passed in the House of Assembly in April last, and coming into operation’ttis month, have dnanimousl, adopted the following resolution, and direct the same to be read to our respective congre- gations on Sabbath first.-—
Whereas, ‘Fhe liquor traffic too frequently proves injuriouy to.be ‘bedics and souls of men, and is destructive of the best futerests of society and i
Whereas, The Liquor License Act is, in our opinion, calculated wlessen the evilsof intem- permhce by restricting the numberef licensed houses by preventing the keepers ef Such hoeuses from suppiyiig invoxicating lquors: to any per- son regarainy whose habits cumplaint bas been lodged, by giving the people the pu wer of closing up Such hourés in any parish or district; and by permbitiog ab opportunity of objecting to any particular eppiieation on the ground of. the per- s nal chwracter of -the applicant, his failing to implement the conditions vf- his license in the che state Of his business -preniises or their locality; therefore
sesuived, Wiihout commitilug ourselves. to cach wud every one of its clauses, that the act is worthy of our careful and prayerful consbera- tivo, arid chat of our people, wno are exhorted ‘tc use the power commitied tothem iu such a way as to jessen the .

jection I have is, that the Act is not en- forced. Why ‘don’t they enforce it?” This certainly contains a serious reflection on seme one, or ldo not rightly comprehend.

A Hard Law.
Sir,—There are many sections of the Seott Act repugnant to justice, none per- haps more so than section 1140. This sec- tion not only tramples on the principles of justice but al8o on the laws of domestic ‘affection. - It compels the wife to give evi- dence against the husband’and the husband against the wife. What'can be more re- pugnant. than a law that requires a tender and affectionate wWife,—the loving mother to appear ina éonrt of: justice and give tes: timony against hér husband, he whom she regards with anxious solicitude and tender affection. Is it' possible the Reverend Gentle- men who supported’ the Act consider the sechivn consistent“with christionity / = 1t is not consistent with right and justice. How then can it be consistent with Christianity /
