THE BISHOP OF NEWCASTLE ON TOTAL ABSTINENCE.
At a recent meeting in' Newcastle-upon-Tyns,' the Bishop of Newcastle said he had been an abstainer a long time.- Seme very, bad wine made him a -'toti£* abstainer in the first instance. He tried, it .two or three times oa his way home from India/and found it so very bad on certain steamers, that he took to water,, and found it so extremely good that, he had-stuck-to it ever Since. If he had' not by that accident become a water drinker, he should have become one for other reasons afterwards; for, when he went to work in' a large town parish, and tried to do some good in what were called the slums, he found that example was better than precept—that he could, do a great deal more good if he- kept from what did harm to other people than if he took it in moderation.
