i{ To Trim on the Drink Question is Treason I ' By Mrs General Booth. 0 Christians! by your peace of conscience on a dying bed ; by the eternal destinies of your children; by your concern for the glory of your God; by-your care for never-dying souls ; by the love you owe your Saviour, I beseech you, banish the drink! Banish it from your tables, banish it, from your'houses, and oh, for Christ’s sake, banish it from His house. Put no longer the sacrifice of Christ and of devils on the same altar ! Banish also those who manufacture this “ distilled damnation ” from your communion, aye, from your society. Have no fellowship with those who get rich by robbing man of his reason, woman pf her virtue, and children of their patrimony and their bread. Cease to recognise, not only as Christians, but as men, those who fatten on the weakness, wickedness, and suffering of their fellow-men. Hoist the flag of death over their breweries, distilleries, and dram-shops, warning the unwary that death and damnation lurk behind their finely decorated bars, and run like the lurid fires of perdition through their brightly-polishedtaps ! The time has come WHEN TO TRIM ON THIS DRINK QUESTION IS.THE HIGHEST TREASON TO THE CAUSE OP CHRIST and the’ grossest inhumanity to suffering, perishing millions. Tell me no more of charity towards brewers; distillers, and publicans. Your false charity to these has already consigned millions to an untimely end. Tell us not of a charity that takes rides with the Pharisees who devour widows’ houses, and leave the poor victims of avarice and power to groan, and suffer, and die. _ Tell us not of the charity that would have welded the shackles on three millions of slaves in America yonder, rather than have disturbed the comfort and improveished the wealth of a few rich planters. Such charity savoureth of the old serpent, its speech betray eth it. Such was not the charity of Jesus. His charity went out after the suffering multitudes, while it consigned those who gloated on their wrbngs and sorrows to their own place, notwithstanding that they garnished the tombs of the prophets and paid tithes of mint, anise, and cummin! But, say some of our Christian friends, we must have patience. We answer we have had long patience, and the times of ignorance both God and man were willing to wink at; but we submit the time for patience has passed. The land is flooded_ with light,: and if these men do not see, it is because they will not. And this is the crowning, finishing condemnation of ariy class of sinners, that “ light is come into the world, and men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil,’’ or we might interpret it, BECAUSE THEIR GAINS ARE GREAT

Charity, were we speaking of ? 0 Christians ! Look on the multitudes who are led as sheep to the shambles by this great destroyer. Look on thousands, yea, tens of thousands, of your fellow-country-men, husbands and fathers, fobbed at once of their earnings, their manhood, their reason, and turned loose on itheir hapless wives andchildren, worse, more unreasonable tyrannical, and savage than the wild beasts of the forest. Look upon thousands of poor suffering women called wives, who have to endure all a'drunkard’s tyranny and fury, while working for the children’s bread, and struggling vainly to keep a home where they may lay their heads. Look on multitudes of our youth, lured from their homes, inspired with contempt of parental counsel, drawn into gay and immoral society, dragged down from comparative innocence and virtue to idleness, debauchery, and crime ! Look on hosts of helpless, neglected children, ten times more to be pitied than those whom the heathen mother casts into the Ganges or the Nile; look on their half-starved, half-clad bodies, their untaught, benighted minds and souls, land then say how long this modern Juggernaut shall roll down your streets unchallenged —this chief of Santan’s empire sway his sceptre over this vaunted Christian land!
