J^trq?^ance. ADDRESS OF RET. JOHN CHAMBERS, i OFI fUUtADBLpMIA. * Vtuvnf&w-ihe FirtCPretbyfyrian. Church , in Cor* Monday evening, Feb. 14tA. On thb 20fb of December last, during'a hurried visit to your magnificent volley, I addressed, pursu* ant to their invitation, tho citixnna of this place on tho subject of Total Abstinence. .In that address 1 assumed us the basis of my remarks, that iuloxlca ling liquor used as a beverage was a poison and a curse, an enemy of God and man, and interdicted ; alike-by a common morality and tho great rulcof ■ our faiih and. practice. It was tho design of tho . epoakcr on thot occasion to show that tho inspired volume has loft not a loop upon which a doubt can : hang as (o iladccldcd advocacy of (olsl abstinence, la both spirit and letter, from Genesis to Revelation —that the. praises of this elevated and elevating doe. trine were coeval with tho preservation of our race by Noah in the ark—and that it continued a respect ed theme of tho inspired writers from that moment to the days bf St. Paul, inclusive. It was also re spcotftilly urged that,ifthe personality oflho Christian Church, living through a period of eighteen hundred ; years, hud by p'roccpl rejected this doctrine, and by example in the vicious indulgence consequent upon 1 such rejection, spread death and mourning over the 1 world,some other remedial action should bo resorted 1 10, more consonant with tho'avowod purpose ofGod, and .(ho crying wants of humanity. It was further* moro stated (Bat I had examined and weighed well the claims of the several organizations instituted with this specific view, and that tbo investigation resulted in (he belief that none existed whoso means were so admirably adopted to that end, as the Order of the Sons ofTompcranco. To this address IhoKov. James LUlio,on the 50th of the flame month) made a reply, and caused or pci* milled the substance of it to b'o published. This re* markable discourse, so intrinsically singular and so astounding in the light of Us authorship, is familial lo you all. • Pursuant to your invitation,! am hero for the 1 purpose of reviewing it. And in doing so 1 shall pass over such charlatanry ns his allusion to my hurried departure being dictated by the feat of his Attic whip* as being as much out of place ss his scriptural deductions ore wide of honest and truthful Interpretation, • I( may bo said however that, if cowardice urged my departure, the old Couplet hoaj been verified— ■ •• The man who Halils'and runs away,. May live to fight another day,” I pass over thoappllcutionlomysclfofsuch thoughts ae “Imbecile fierceness,“ “utter incompetence," “ion ofdarknow,*- &.c. &c.,Jooving them to a more congenial companionship in tho homo of their birth , Indeed I might pass 6vbr the whole of his discourse] ns, whnl I think tho religious world will consider it, a libel upon tho sacred record* a slander upon the purposes of Divinity, and a scandal upon* tho refer* liiatary spirit of the llltii century. But this would bo asking 100 much from tho most generous patience. Gray, headed abuse when clad in a sacred garb, do* tforves prompt and unceremonious exposure. If men I in high places will officiously, muddy or divert the | the groat current of truth in God and Nature, a most especial rebuke should bo administered. Iftho Lil. lie of the valley will toil and spin, tho thicnd of his verbosity should bo of d piece with tho staple of his vocation—his yarn should have the right twist. In other words, his calling is too elevated for indiffbr* once lo Ids heresies, The Rev. gentleman, in legal phrase, thus joins issue with mu on this Important subject s “I foot myself bound by tho most solemn obliga tions as a minister of Jesus Christ, to protest against tho principle on which the whole speechlof Chambers was' founded. Thot nrinclcio-TVaslhut intoxicating drink, under every topuffwas a poison and a curse. On tlie contrary,the whole strain of the divine teaching In both Testaments, demonstrates the very opposite of what those teachers so confi dently promulgate. This I now undertake to prove. 1 * This Is a bold position, Before (ho'trulh or falsity oMI, tremblingly.hangs (ho security of unborn mil- Huns who arc to oomo after us. WhalJ those im perishable ordinoncos, which the Wild fhtfndcf cloud as tho messenger of Jehovah, boro to Moses on startled Sinoi—those sacred prayers breathing the spirit of th 6 Almighty Father—throwing a mantle of holiness , around 1 llml .cause,• whoso cflbols, like tho heated airocen, Imvo blfelilfd tho ffocn and prowirip.onor- , bat never btforc. In Iho bo.oti. of wlldo.l oxlrav.gonoo - did the, horrible round fill upon niy car that Hr will) i died for our b.ppincM, had jnillfiodl and uphold the i direct onn.o (moderate drinking,) of three fourth! of i (t,c mi.rlos ivilli wblob liumanUv is afflicted. 1 ] It U.lncoroly to bo rogrotlod thotouoh n dl.oouroo i i. bnadod with tho announcement thot • Mini.lorof 1 God i» it* oulhor, no stronger., la oil probability, would hive rood it without entertaining such oo eu. .sober, temperance—Paul to TUaA. 7,U” These are oil thcpoinls upon whichtho gentleman has Inbored to build his heresy. Now for the sake I of the argument, let us aupposc that the full force of I meaning attaches to these passages which the spirit ed gentleman claims for them;.and then let us place by thoir.sidc the following interesting hints frtnn the same invaluable source: “Do hot drink wine nor sttohg drink; thotf, fief thy sons with thee, when yo go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die; it shall bo statute forever throughout your generation*— he), x. 8, 9.' . Now therefore beware 1 pray thce;and drink hot wihe nor strong drink—Judges sm. 4. Wine .is a mocker, strong, drink is raging, and whqsbcycr is deceived thereby is not .wise—Prof. xx. I, Look npt thou upon the wine, &.c.—Prov. xxm. 29—35. It is not for Kings to drink wino.Jior for princes strong drink; lest they drink and forget the law; &c,—Prov. xxxi. Ye shall drink no wine, neither.y6, nor your sons forever—Jer. xjxv.6. Woo onto them (hat risemp early in the morning to follow strong, drink, dtc.— Isaiah v. 11,12,13. Neither shall any Priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner corfrl—Ezek. xl'iv. 21. Diit ye gave the Natarlics wine to drink, &c.—Amos 11,12, Woo unto him that grvoth his neighbor drink, that pultosl thy bottle to him; dec,— Hab.xi. 16. The nations have drunk of her wine, therefore the nations arc mad—Jcr. u. 7. Thou hast made us drink the wine of astonishment—Psalm. i.x. 3. Awake yo drunkards, and weep; howl all ye , drinkers of wine—Joel 1. 5. And they shall drink snd bo moved, and bemad, dee.—Jer. xxv. 15,16. Put away thy wino from thee—lst Sam. I. 14.” • Hero then wo have a cloud of witnesses of equal authority, equally sacred, more numerous, and .infi nitely stronger than the ambiguous branches of truth which Mr. L. has violently turned, ogalnst thclr pa' rent trunk.- Admitting then, I repeat, the meaning which (his violence ascribes to these several passages, what will such testimony amount io against this overwhelming counter current? If in a court of criminal jurisprudence during a (rial for assault and battery, you should hear eleven men say under oath, that they saw A. strike D. and fifteen asserting, with similar moans of knowledge of the transaction, of equal character for veracity, and under similar so lemnities, that A. so : far from striking, was himself struck by D. which,let mo ask, would the gentlemen believe? On what ground would a jury render a verdict 1 in favor of A? Tho only motive; I appre hend, which could induce such a decision, hy an otherwise honest jury, would bo a secret preference for A. himself, or the expectation of favors from hts friends, over that of fi. and his associates. Hut do (hose fifteen passages to which 1 have referred, con slituto (ho whole of tho sacred testimony in favor of my position? Nono; they arosomcoflneaccasidnal sparks from that hallowed fire ofindignoliou, fed by tho atmosphere that wraps God's throne, which breathes and burns with undying fervor throughout these inspired pages. Yes, so important has been tho theme that In throe hundred instances do wo find allusion made in the , Bible to tho cause and effects ol wmo and strong , drink; and from that teniblo array of evidence do I Iwo rood.tho condemnation (hereof, as plainly ns iff • on archangel had dipped his finger in tho out spread-1 ing halo of God's glory, and (raced It upon the bine vaulted heaven. * And yet with dll this thrilling and unmistakable testimony ago hist this vice, with un fettered reason to analyze and comprehend it; with tho spirit of reform tearing away (no veil of moral darkness for the ingress of that true light, in which wo recognize It as the epitome of o(|*ol|jcr vices, wo find a clergyman whoso profession it is to preach by precept und example against nil evil tendencies, tor turing his ingenuity, and still more his Bible to find cloven passages, out of three hundred, to show that God himselfhas sanctioned a moderate indulgence in that practice which has hung our vast earth in mourning! ’ | Wo ask again, then, to what conclusion will tho gentleman come when contemplating the apparent contradictions? Will ho regard the Bible as a lie (erogenous compound, a mass of conflicting elements? Will,his comprehensive mind,and enlarged piety, delect no menus for reconciling these imaginary dif ferences? Yea, verily, wo will introduce to tills Horaljo, some of those things which; it is to bo hoped have not, as yet, been droumod of in his proscribed philosophy. Wo will invito his examination Into (he, meaning attached to tho nine words in tho Hebrew Bible, wfiich nro there used (p describe <ho »arJo«»j kinds of vinous beverages then In u»o. >»o will show him.
