AnSTIAXCK. Temperance is not abstinence, although great many excellent people think so. Temperauce la tbe modorala use of al things, our faculties of mind, our app elites aod passions all God-given. Religious worship la a duty, hut when too zealous, Is a nuisance, as lor instance a bowling Dervieh. Temp, is a good tbiog. It makes a man self-asserting and prevents servility, but its Intemperate use is frenzy and madoess. Food, luscious and savory, is the help meet of healih, but inordinate quantities eaten is an Injury. Gluttony is a vice. So of drinks. Whether vinous, or malt tbe moderate os eoricbea tho blood, sostalns Ibo oervous system and promotea health, bnl Ibo luordiaaie use Is burtful. Drunkenness is a vice also. No genera tion ot men perhaps ever escaped these vices with many others, but tbo great ma jority always did. Tbe Israelllea bave al ways been, and still are, remarkable fo temperance, but we doubt if a tertotaller waa ever found among them alnca Abraham- Aais, tbe cradle of tbe human family- with nations aboundiog In luxury and wealth, of wblcb we bave no conception, la all tbe centuries past and oow is tern perate, aod yet local options and teelolal 1st laws are unknown. Tbe Greeks and Romans were temperate aa peoples, and from the Christian era down it has been true In tbe mala tbe wondjover tbat temperance prevails. It Is only oow, and here, that we Bod drunken- uess has acsiimed such proportions tbat every cltl.un uiiint be denied access lo any beverago stronger than coffee. St. Piul, addressing tbe primitive Chris tian Church aaid "Be temperate in all things.'' This gives tbe use but not tbe abuse of til 'hing', and la la Itself conclu stve. But the fanatics of the hour choose one thing and call teetotalism tem perance if a man drinks water only, He may use morphine and glutonize to bis heart's ootiteot; be may do aoytbinir, ex eept drink purl or sherry with may be a glass of ' 'all and 'all " added.
