Rev. R. P. Srrvpse, one of the Redemp- torist Fathers holding the Mission in this city, delivered a special sermon on the li yuor tratlic and its attendant evils, to the married and single men of the congrega- tion in St. Dunstan’s Cathedral last night. The church was thronged, and among those -esent were many persons not of the yvman Catholic faith. The address occu- ed about an hour in its delivery, and was esived with the greatest attention and pr R pi re devoutness. The rey. gentleman, in opening, ex- pressed his pleasure at seeing so many peo- Their presence in such num- ple present. bers, he thought, indicated a desire on their mart for a change of life with regard to the liquor traffic and the evils that followed in it He was amazed when he was told that Charlottetown was under the regulations of the Scott Act. He did not know very much about the working of the Act here, but he had a good deal of ex- s wake. and when they do not obey they can be put outside the pale of the church. They had, place where the vice of intemperance 1s raging like it is here. Why, there was scarcely a fifteen year old boy but had at least oneé fallen a victim of it. He hoped that this meeting would have such an effect that hereafter no Catholic would be seen in a state of intoxication. intemperance, he went on to say, is the ruin of both body and soul, of everything that we should hold dear. _ Drunkenness is a mortal sin (1) when one wilfully becomes drunk, (2) when one is not entirely drunk, but is temporarily deprived of his reasoning faculties. The second stage is perhaps worse than the first. When one is that far advanced he generally devotes his energies to cursing aud swearing and wanting to fight, thereby adding other sins to the one he is guilty of when he becomes inebriated. When in the first stage the unfortunate person generally wants to sleep off his debauch. Then, again, there are men who drink any amount of beer—who are regular walking bei - rels—yet they never get drunk. Woe be to them, for they do not avoid the occasion of sin. Whosoever does not adopt the proper course to prevent drunkenness and the cul- tivation of the liquor habit is living in a state of mortal sin. The man who incites another to get drunk is also guilty of mor- talsin. You may only give a man one drink, yet you are the means of his getting drunk: for there are some men so consti- tuted that when they get one giass of liquor they must have more, and the first drink is the cause of their becoming drunk. The liquor dealer who sells to a man he knows will get drunk is equally respon- sible for the drunkenness, and is also guilty of mortal sin. lhe man who drinks to excess—who spends the money for liquor that he should rive to his wife and family to provide for their wants — commits mortal sin against charity and justice by depriving them of that which they need at home. The laws of Quebec are very strict on this point. There a dealer can be fined for selling to a person to whom he has been{warned not to sell. In Montreal scme time ago a dealer was actually fined $500 for selling to a man whose wife had cautioned him not to do so The drunkard, he proceeded, transgresses all the tea commandments. Do you sup- pose, he asked, that he whose god is his belly, wii! observe the second command- ment ? See him reel along the street. Hear him blaspheme and curse. On Saturday night he spends his money in drink, and when he goes home early on Sunday morn- ing he is half drunk. After sleeping awhile he awakes, and after abusing and beating his wife he sends her off for more liquor which he drinks during the day while lying in bed. Others again go ovt and spend the Sunday in the grog shop. And do drunken; sons observe the fourth commandment? Do they honor their father and mother ? They most certainly do not. Does the drunkard observe the fifth commandment ? He does not, Is it not generally while man is drunk that he commits the awful crime of murder, and wants to fight and do other things forbidden by the laws of God and man? Certainly it is. Drunkenness is no excuse for committing crimes; but on the contrary, increases the yu \nd how does the drunkard keep the sixth commandment? The drunkard is always impure and lustful ; his heart and soul is filled with impurity. And so on with the other commandments, Is it not for liquor that clerks steal from their employers, children from ther parents, the mother from the father and the father from the mother? Of course it is. When a man has liquor in him he is not himself; but is possessed of a devil. Drunkenness is a sin most difficult to be forgiven, because as a rule, the drunkard is impenitent. Indeed, it requires almost a miracle to convert him. The man who drinks when he is young and continues the vice in after years generally dies in his sins, Why? Because he does not pray, attend mass, frequent the sacraments or txke any of the means provided for his liv- jug in a state of grace. - . -) MONDAY, priest cannot reach—that is the sit: of the man who dies in drunkeness. The drunken man is a beast. Is there any happiness where drunkenness abounds / Is there happiness in the house where the father or son is a drunkard? Certainly not. Asarule, there is nothing there but poverty and distress. Indeed, it is no won- der that some of the women who are wed- ded to drunken men become insane, when they see the way their whole life is blasted. Is it not enough for them to have to undergo the pains and troubles of mater- nity without being obliged to see their fondest hopes and aspirations blasted by drunkenness ? The woman who is married to a drunkard is certainly a martyr. How many men are there to-day who would be rich if it were not for their fond- ness for liquor? He knew there were many. On Saturday night the drunkard comes home to supper with his pay in his pocket. Afver perhaps giving his wife a few dollars of this money, he puts the balance in his pocket and goes off to the rum-shop where he spends it for liquor, and comes home again drunk. How much better off would he be if he were to put this money in the savings bank or some other place where he ,could get it-when required ? And how much more happy and comfortable would himself and family re / Drunkenness also destroys the body. Dress Goods in Ladies’ Felt Hats, FURS! FUR-LINED CLOAKS.

The liquor and beer sold at the present day is so adulterated with poisonous drugs that it is injurious alike to brain, stomach and liver, and consequently tends to shorten life. Hence it is that the life of the total abstainer is much longer than that of the drunkard, and that the former are more sought after as risks by insurance men, and Now, as to those who sell liquor. There are those who will not sell on Sundays nor who will not sell to a person they know will get drunk. Again there are those who will sell on Sundays and will sell to those they know will get drunk. There are many men and women here who are fattening upon the money they are making in this way. But for each dollar they receive they bring down upon themselves the maledic- tion of the widow and orphan. They may escape the curse themselves, but it will fol- low them and theirs even unto the fourth generation.

Hon. George S. W. Bagnall. Tue Hon. George 8S. W.
