LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
“€..” the Prohibition Question,and Dr. Jewett’s Book.
Sir,—In my letter of the 12th, and ‘which you kindly gave a place in your columns of the 14th; in connection there- with, and through courtesy on your part, | now ask space to show your readers soinething of the character of the work then referred to. | in my extract from the New York Daily | J'imes there appeared this passage: ‘* The Times quotes the fact, familiar to our read- iers, that a Rev. Dr. Jewett wrote a work ‘on ‘Communion Wine’ against the two- | wine thery, and that Rev. Dr. Crosby sent ‘it out to several hundred clergymen for their opinion as to its merits.” | ‘To-day, sir, 1 have before me a review of that work by another celebrated divine, if not honored with the title of ** Chancellor.” |'This reviewer, in the course of his article, ‘says: ‘* According to this argument of Dr. | Jewett, the real ‘fruit of the vine’ must be decomposed and destroyed, and the alcohol produced by this process must be called ‘the fruit of the vine.’ ” | De. Jewett says: ‘* It would be no more \silly to maintain that cream is aciually but- |ter before it is churned, and dough bread ‘before it is baked, than it is to insist that ‘mush is actuaily wine before it is ferment- led.” We reply: ‘Cream in churning {makes no chemical chanye whatever. The {butter is only separated from the milk by | breaking the particles. Dough contains ali ithe elements of bread before itis baked ; | baking or cooking in any way only softeus jand fits it for digestion ; there is no change lin the substance.” tid The re- i proceeds thus. ‘The value of grape
juice, ‘the fruit of the vine,’ as a tonic and nutrient, for vigor, health and strength, iis of the highest order. For these purposes \fermented alcoholic wines are worse than ‘useless. The drunkenness of the ancients |was mostly on this wine. The amount of iit used this day is enormous. It is a fasct- inating drink that acts like a decoy intu it is surprising that there ‘are hundreds of clergymen who, contrary to ‘the law of Christ, give their voices in favor lof intoxicating wine at the Lord’s Table. , We have a sample of these ministers in their janswers to questions on this subject, in the 1work we have been reviewing, edited by | Dr. Jewett. Ii they are, as we hope, true, ‘candid men, it seems impossible they should stay where they are, aud negiect the duty Christ commands of ail his ministering ser- | Vants.
| The subterfuges by which Dr. Jewett land these ministers try to escape this duty, jare poor, shabby affairs that really amount itu nothing. Seme go tothe Rabbis, but, jas they don’t believe in Christ, they must
‘reject his law on this subject, which sets; j Te)
iforth and commemorates His redemption. | As they do not admit that he is the Divine Lord, whe now sits upon the wmediatorial throne, how can they admit His laws and His teachings ? Some base their position ;on ancient customs of using intoxicating | wine. Some again, to get rid of | Christ's teachings and laws, aflirm that He used figurative words when He commanded the commemorating service, which is to set forth his death. There can be neither sense nor propriety in laying down a positive law for all who believe in Him in the loose, uncertain and unintelligible manner pur- sued by Dr. Jewett and others who present Christ as duing this.
The reviewer having disposed of the **figurative words” idea, proceeds to show that ‘‘ an intoxicating drink is a type of evil; it is often described in the Bible as the debasing cause of immoral and debasing practices,—drunkenness and its attendant vices.” He then proceeds, and having shown that Christ as our divine, omnipo- | tent and omniscient Lord, guarded this ‘avenue to drunkenness; which so many 'ministers-in former times have thiown
Sieeping Cabins fiited in best possible style for! open; and which so many now desire to
‘keep open. To do this they resort fo every possible expedient. Think of the absur- idity that it cannot be the fruit of the vine unless it is fermented, and all the nutrient | properties of ‘ the fruit of the vine’ are ;destroyed, and an entirely new substance, lalcohol, is made in its places. Let
jone think of this; if that is not fr jenp of wrath and of Christ’s displeasure. | We do not wish to blame those who have
‘been deceived and misled by the officiating |
iservants of Christ, nor many of these, | whose censcience has been offended by what they had not the power to reform 1n ithe church. Without trespassing further on your ‘space at present, [am of the opinion that ithe reviewer has not left much standing reom for Dr. Jewett or Dr. Crosby and thuse 286 clergymen to whom the '* work ’ of Dr. J. was distributed, or that ‘these opinivns have refleeted much to their ‘credit. Joun Scorr. May 17, 1890.
| Accidents on the I. C. R.
| Hampton, May 18.—Last night, while a special, in charge of Conductor Daley, was coming into the depot here, Brakeman Alexander Murray, in letting off the brake on a loaded gondola, fell and was instantly killed, the wheels of two loaded gond: las and van passing over bis head, chest and one arm. Murray was about 35 years of age, had been of the road 4a iong Lime, and leaves a wife and two children. Be resided at Moncton, where his body was sent last Coroner Smith empanelled a jury,

Notes by the Way.
The lobster factories along the North Shore are now in operation. The season promises fair. Some fair catches have al- ready been taken, and the crustaceans are if zood size,
Mr. William Leslie, of Priest Pond, has aniung other old relics, a light sword about two feet ten inches in length, of French maaufacture, which had been worn by a cacet of Cian Ronald, named McEachern, agrandfather of Mr. McKachern, (hotel ke per) Georgetown, who carried it at the baitle of Colloden.
Ir. H. J. McDonald, of Black Bush, whose new baru was blown te ** smither- eens” during the south-east gale of Feb. 3th has had the structure rebuilt. Mr. D. D. McCormack’s new dwelling, which also sustained slight damage during the same gale, is now being finished.
sarge quantities of herring are being taken in several places on the North Shore. The quality is more than ordinarily good.
A man named Nicholson shot a black fox lass winter which he sold to C. C. Carlton & Sons, Souris, realizing $70 cash and a barrel of flour.
some of the farms at St. Margaret’s, Lot 43, are nearly destroyed by drift sand. If th» parties interested in this matter would allow the road which was, a few years ago, lail out by the late leader of the Govern- ment, W. W. Sullivan, from Naufrage Bridge to Bear River Line Road, it would be the shortest, the cheapest and the most convenient for the public. A new road is much needed at that place, as the sand is not only destreying the farms, but also the shore road. [Since writing the above I understand that Mr. Bentley, the Com- missioner of Public Works, was expected to locate the new road referred to.]
1 visited Mrs. John McDonald, of Goose River, Lot 42, who is one of the o!dest women now living on our Island. She was born at Naufrage, Lot 43, June 17th, 1790, and will be 100 years on the 17th of next June. This old lady, who conversed with ;yeur correspondent quite intelligently, is ithe eldest of the late Angus McIntyre’s jtamily, Cable Head, and a sister of His | Lordship Bishop McIntyre. Mrs. Me- ‘Donald has eight of her family yet living, four sons and fcur daughters. Her husband | died about forty-ix years ago. Herelcest son, D. J. MecDonaid, who 1s now 76 years, ‘18 an intelligent man who has largely | travelled in foreign lands. Mrs. McDonald jhas enjoyed geod health for the last ten years, and until the last few months could knit and sew, as her eyosight ie yet remark- ably good. She has been, tor the last few weeks, confined to her room. I understand it is the intention of her relatives, who are aumerous, to celebrate the centennial anniversary of her birth on the 17th of June, with eclat betitting the occasion.
The church at St. Margaret's is a good structure. It is beautifully located, and »ommands a fine view. The buildings and grounds are kept in good order, and the cemetery is well fenced. This is the third church built at that place, the first being a | tog building. Their clergymen—Rev. D. J. Gregory McDonald—is a very energetic ;and eflicient gentleman, whose aim is to | slevate and advance the spiritual and other | wants of his parishioners.
Gus and Dan O'’Hanley, of Orr River, killed fifteen seals on the ice last April. | Their fat or blubber filled a puncheon. | There were some exciting incidents on the shore at that time. I understand there were ‘over one hundred seals captured. One of the seal-hunters, Mr. Edward McKenzie, walked out among the seals on the ice, only killing the larger ones. He espied an en- 'ormous one some distance from the shore, which he wished to capture, and, thinking ‘that be might prove too heavy to drag asl ore, determined to drive him in before hia, and afterwards kill him. He succeed- ed in driving him but a short distance, when his sealship refused to go further, ‘and turned on his pursuer. Mac, being in do: bt as to how the fight might end if he forzsed the battle, Jagged his comrades, and tw of them came to his rescue, who quickly despatched the seal, and took the pelt off him, and all three had much difficulty in taking it ashore.
