These men coin plain of, the tee-totallers as being too yigid i too fanatical, too ultra. But experience has abundantly demoostrated, that the temper ance reformation can never be Consummat ed under the old pledge, Or as long as pro fessors of religion allow themselves to.in dulge in th - e - ti6e of feimented drinks. The pledge of the American 'Temperance Union, at the-head" of whichi• are ad Sound, shrewd and judicious' men ns can-be found in this country, prohibits, the use of "all intoxicat ing liquors." AMI this is the pledge, we believe of all the flourishing Temperance Societies in the • world, the others having but a dubious and. sickly existence. But it is easy to see where the difficulty lies. Those who indulge themselves occa..j sionally in- fermented liquors, love 'them. I And they are npLwilling to give them though their example is doing immense injury to the Temperance cause.
