THE REV. CANON PHILIP DUMOULIN ON PROHIBITION.
Cacon Dumoulin, of Toronto, Canada, thos expressed himself wit-h regard to prothibition, before the Royal Commission on the Liquor Traffic:—"l dp not think it would be a wise or workable law. Ido not think it is founded on those principles of eternal wisdom aad of long experience that have dictated the laws of past nations. I do not find the principle underlying such laws aa enter into the Divine k.w. The Jews 'had certaisriy not a prohibitory law, druQKeuness w«s iouiw aniuwgist tnem, and it was rebuked by their prophets, but tie article wae not prohibited. The Romans and the Greeks certainly had Bio prohibition. England, the great country, that it is, has noi. a pivu.a>iUiy uw, <mv in, very few of the States of the Union is there prohibition now. For all these reasons, I have come to the conclusion it would not be a wise law."
