COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT. BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. Origin of "UnoloBara." Sneciilntton lias rccootly arisen re garding tho origin of tho term "Undo Sara" as applied to tho Unitod States government. In tho wnr of 1812, between this country and Great Britian, Elbert An derson, of Now Yoik, ptirohasod In Troy, N. Y., n largo amount of pork for tho American nrmy. It was inspected by Samuel Wilson, who was popularly known n "Uncle Sam." Tho barrels of pork wero marked ''K. A., U. S ," tho lettering being dono by a facotions employe of Mr. Wilson. When asked hy fellow-workmen tho meaning of tho mark (for tho letters U. S. for United States, were then al most now to them), said "he did not know, unless it meant Elbert Ander son and Unclo Sam," alluding to Unole Sara Wilon. Tho joke took among tho workmen, and passed currently, and "Undo Sam" himself being present, was occasional ly rallied on tbo increasing oxtont of his possessions. Soon tho inoidont ap pearcd in print, and tho joko gained favor rapidly, till it was penetrated and waa recognized in every part' of tho country, and, says John Frost, tho Boston hls'toiian, will no doubt conti nue 60 while tho United States remains a nation. It is now firmly embedded in tho Mosaio of our language, liko "Tippo canoe'" "Log Cabin," and other short but expressivo phrases, which refer to important events in tho history of tho uopnbiic. lioth "Tippecanoe ana "Loc Cabin" have taken on renewed force and vitality since their adoption by Hon. II. II. Warner, of Safe Cure fame, in the naming of two of his great standard remedies, tho principal ono known as Warner a .Log Cabin Sarsaparilla. They are based upon formula; so successfully used by our an cestors in the euro of tho common ail ments to which their arduous labors rendered them liablo in tho good old Locr Cabin days. The names of Warder's Safo Cure, likewise, will be held in high esteem, as familiar as a household word, while it continues to cure tho worst forms of Kidfioy Disease, which tho medical profession confesses itself unablo to do. Against Prohibition. Christ tho testator,, whou suspended bo tween hoaven and earth, on Mount Calvary, wheti ho cried, it ia finished, and tho veil of tho tomplo wns rent from top to bottom, thon the old will was (load, natlou with its ordinances to tho cross. Mr. lives, why go bo yond tho crost? Tbero was a time when burnt sacrifices at'mcd for sin. Now undor tho new will tho blood of Jesus Christ oloanseth us from nil in. Tho passaco you ouoted, "cursed is ho that putteth his boltlo to his brother's mouth to mako him drunk, for tho woo shall not bo upon him that U drunk, but upon him that makoth him drunk. I would thank you for tho chapter and versa. I havo search ed tho soripturos with tho aid of a concordance and havo failed to Gud it. Every person ought to bo exiro- moly careful how they quote Holy Writ. Never quoto from momory, but from tho book. I found what I think voti wanted to quote, but you er red sadly. You will rind it in' Habak- kuk21(i "woe unto mm tbat in vein his neighbor drink, that putteth thy bottlo to him and maketh him drunk also." Now tho sin was not in drink ing, for wino at that day was used as a uoverago throughout tno ctviuzeu world. But the ain was in using it to excess, getting drunk, that is where tho sin comos in to-day. Thero is no sin attached to eating or drinking. Tho Saviour Hays in Matthow 15 11 "not that which gocth into tho mouth that defiloth a man, but that which cometh out ot tho mouth that defileth a mar." I think 1 havo made this plain and to the point. Hoping, Mr. liens, you will oomo out of Babylon, I re main, Yours Truly, A. J. Dunn. Editors Colcudun. Dtar Sir. : In purusmg the oolumns ot your last weeks issue I found a letter from C'eutral signed I. Burt Hess. Hi first effort in trying to defend tbo preachers in preaching prohibition. think ho bad better leave them answer for themselves. If it is right they cer tainiy can snow it. it wrong in don't want to show thoir hypocrisy. have shown in my former letter that prohibition w is not taught in the last will and testament of our Lord Jesus Christ, and for preachers to preach that now, they are preaching another gospel. What does the great Apostle to the Gentiles say on that subiectf Now listen to the words of the Hoi Spirit "Though we, "the apostles' or au angel irom neaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which wo have preached unto you, let bim bo accursed. Ah we said betore, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel noto you than that ye have received let him be accursed Fearful responsibility. Yet wo have men that say they are called and sent of the Holy Spirit, following atter old women s tables and the W. V. 1. U, In the namo of heavens what do they want more than tho word of God? Paul says in Hebrews -1-12 tbat the word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any two edged swoid, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the -joints and marrow, and is a disccrner of the th tights and incnls uf the heart. Mr. Hes, what moro ia needed? John, tbo ureal lerelator in summing up Ins prophecy Hays: "ror 1 testify nnt ) every man that hearelh the wonls of ihU prophecy of this book. If any man shall add unto theso things God shall add unto him (he plagues thai are written in this book, and if any man shall take away from tho word" of the book of this prophecy God shall take away bis part out of the book of lift) and one of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." Rev. 22-18 19. "For the time will come when thoy will not en dure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts shall they heap to them selves teachers, having itshing ears, and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables '' Mr. Hess, it those times are not upon U9 now as predicted by Paul, then I pity the generation ou whom they will fall. Wo have preachors whoso ears are itching for notoriety otitildrt of the gospel. Do yon know what they wanit Power, not from on hieh but from tho prohibition party, and if through their influence the pro hibilion party goes iuto power, they will say to the leaders: "Sirs, wo havo an nx to grind wo want you to uso your influence for us and help us unitu ohnrch and state. How wonld you liko that, Mr. HessT Then ou would havo to support the sucoesMiil ehuron whether you believ ed in thoir dogmas or not Secondly, JUr. lio.is says, to successiuiiy preach tbo gospel, sin in its various forms should be preached to men. I believe that. Now what is sinful in drinkingT Why using it to excess, getting drunk. The preachers duty is to tell bis bear ers to be tomperato ic eating as well as drinking. If they understand the Soripture they will so teach. Ha say thero is no middle ground to occupy in this question, men an men are extre mists, then aocordiug to his teaching (Jurist aud the uoiy apirit were mis taken whon they told their follower to bo temperate in all things. Wond erful wisdom, stupendous reasoning. Ho further says that if we vote against prohibition wo will become re sponsible for drunkenness. Far from it. The same reasoning would mako ns r'Bponibln for suioido, because wo did not vote to take away pistol, tho rope and tho razor from tho people. They are all well iu their places when properly need. He said I overlooked tho declaration, "it eating meat caus eth my brother to ottend I'll cat no meat." Paul was talking about ob taioiug from meats offered to Idols and has no bearing on tho question beforo us. All of the brethren that partook of my hospitality took kindly to meat and we had no trouble on thatfooro. Mr. Hesa what wpuld you think ot a man that would hunt up an old will tbat waa respected by the court and trv to get possession of a certain es tat?, when you knew that a later will waa in force?
