Itov. W.

He really cou)d not see any consistency in the 'induct of those who abstained from intoxicating dnnks and continued to indtdge in this noxious weed. He then went on to ohSlene that the principles of tota! ab- stinence were ptainty enjoined in Scri)Jtme. Cert.am peoph-were commuuded in the Old Testament for their .tbstInHMco.

The next meeting waf held at the Tabernacle Chapel, Mr.IInght)ughei',L]angaffo,inthcchair. The Cn.\ntMAX brieay addressed the meeting, after whiuhheca)!fdthe i );ev. K.T. Own' Betiiescl;t. who spoke of the social duties which pertained tu each member of woiety to ditcharge. Re enumerated the evikof intemperance, which aSceted not the drunkard on)y, but the tax- payers a)so, who had to support gaois, reformatories, and workhouses, which ware n))af) by .such characters. Itev. W. EDWAtiDS, of Aberdat'e, next audreaeed the meeting. Dr. I)!vmu WHITE referred to the amount of Sabbath desecration engendered by intemperance, and the open- inKofpuMic.houaf's on Sunday. InSeot)andthe;\ct for ctosing puHic-housea on the Lord'a day was in the 9th year of ita operation—they were closed from 11 o'ctoek on Saturday night till 8 o'clock on Monday morning He and others In Scotland went personally to the people, and asked them what reat advantages were there which had growu out of such a change. The first was the poiice. Before Forhes Iacken. zie'a Act had come into operation they were told that from 80 to 100 people were locked up in Glasgow he- tween <) o'c)ock on Saturday night and 8 o'o!ock on Sun- day morning. Since the iteration Bunded they were told by the police that scarcely 5 individual were locked up during that period v [Cheers.] Then he looked at it eommerciany—the diSerence in the tax'ltion for the support of those so committed. In addition to Glasgow they gathered the opinion of the shopkeepers in Kdinburnh, Dundee, and Aberdeen. They asked them what their condition was previous to the passing ofthatAct. Tbeyansweredthatthepeoplecameto their shop!< )ate. )aid out little money, and bought the worst at the very last hour. Since the a!teratiot) they came early, ]aid out a iarger sum of money, making moreampteprovi.ion for their cuphoards and their homes. Andtooka.titin another light. Thatwhich the people bought at the provision shops afK) ware- houses did them fond, whikt the money they spent for driuk at the pubtic-houses ouiy muclclled their br,¡jn, Md bfeame a curse to them that "sed it. [Cheers.] They next went to the ministers and those who had f.harge of congregatiotM, ffnd Mked them also what had taken place with respect to the number of persons who attended places of worship since the Mackenzie's Act was passed. "Oh," they «aid, "we can harniy find room for the pRoplouow!" Now, headed them, was it no- thinf that the people were gathered together in the House of Prayer, and put their fm't,a«itwere, upon one step of Cod's Mdt'r, which they hoped would tet- minate at God's throne? Sahbath day dunking was one of the curses which they had to battle with. Since the passing of that Act in Scotland, whatever ficoffers said to rhc contrary, the morat Mpcct of the peo)))e had I changed. If itwaarinht forScot)and it was right for broad F;r)zl,,tnfl -it wi.,t right for Wate.<. [Cheers.] At the royal commission instituted, iarfe entptoyera of la- bour admitted that .1. great number of the men before this Act passed did not come to their work till late on Monday, others on Tuesday, and some even not tit) Wednesday. Look at the toss to the UMt-ufacturer, and the toss to the working meu themselves from that state of things. Who coutd estimate the happiness which the working man's wife tost, the education of his child- ren neglected, and the comforts of home frittered away. But the change. The men came at the usual hour on Monday morning, and continued, with some exceptions, tilt the afternoon of Saturday with their work. Hi)n- setf and friends next went to the mnuicipat authorities at Edinburgh. There they had voted .012,000 to enlarge one wing of the gau). The vote, however, remained in abeyance for a short time; because it was a targe sum to pay out of the ta.x-paying peopte for an asylum to dntukarda. Now, let them took at the advantages of closing pnMic-houaes on Lord's day. It was found out after the passing of that Act that it was no longer uc- cessM-yto eutargethe ga.ot.
