Bain, lectured te a very large audience In the Nermal Scheel cbspet en Sunday afternoon. The lecturer seemed te be In his happiest mood, and gave the audience one of the finest lectures ever delivered here. Hla subject was temperance. He considered two phases of the question, 1st, total abstin ence, and 21, legal prohibition. The only sure way of overcoming the drink-habit or of never forming It Is by total abstinence. The first pledge taken by people ever 100 years ego declared that the pcep'e would abstain from using ardent spirits except at public meetings and ether Important occa sions. He described tbe wonderful growth of temperance sentiment and of total abstinence principle. The wealth et e nation la In the brains, muscles, bones and wills of a people, what ever Injures these lDjures the wenltheta nation. The drink habit does net add te the wealth of a country. It does net pro mote health ; 1b net geed for heat or cold, or happiness or trouble. We should have a law prohibiting the sale, manufacturing and importations of llquerp. He compared tbe curse et intemperance te that of slavery In the Seuth, and Bald that the law et the land nlene could emancipate the slaves te rum. Ue speke against high license, saying that it Is a greater hindrance te the cause of temperance than any ether legalized form of soiling liquor. He complimented the Y. W. C. T.
