Natural food and natural drink ; pure water and fresh air, are essen tial to build up aud sustain man's body to a maximuio of strength. Jn England SS Insurance Coiupauieh have a total abstinence department. Many of the di- rectors are moderate drinkers, and some so immoderate as to bo drunk occasionally, yet these men are shrewd enough to perceive that it pays to give a premium to all wlio abstain from strong drink. They know that the death rate aioong those who drink beer and spirit'* is very much greater than among teetotalers, so great (hat it is neat^ double. Therefore on the ground that » total abstainer lives nearly twice as long as a tipler yon can ea«ly see that in the long run, a teetotaler pay- ing $10 a year on 91000 at death for 44 years, will have paid into their treasury much more money, than a drinker who pays $15 a year for 16 years. A drinker at tho age of 20 may expect to live till he is 3i) years «nd months:'. A total abstainer at 30, may expect to live till ho is 04 years and 2 months. Of course there are many drinkers who live to be much older, and many abstainers who die much younger, but taking the acath^ of all the drinkers and all the abstainers, ihesB are the AVERAGE periods. The next part of this proposition is, Why is the average life of an abstainer so long, and the average lile of a drinker so short ? My answer in briel is that tile liquor so defiles the body, that all sorts of diseas'.ts are generated by the vile stuff, ns to eat up, or rather burn up, all the vital tissues of '.he human frame, and 8rms in N«w Y«»k reported to the'^ iUMirmii i%eT«na9f .«««/,w^ (}»a«\iiM« w« p^* tli« tnurafaetun of bogn« wines.

In the deserts of Egypt I have marched for days with a burning sun on my head, feet blistered in the scorching sand, with my eyes, nostrils and mouth tilled with dnst, and thirst so tormenting that I tore open the veins of my arms, and sucked my own blood Do you ask how I conld survive all tliese horrors ? i answer that, next to the kind Providence of God, I owe mv preservation, mv tiealth and vigour to this fact, TH.VT I NEVER DRANK A DROP OF SPIRITUOUS IJQUOR IN MY LIFE. That is X sublime endorsement of Daniel's position. Now let us look at a specimen of the work of Strong Drink. The following is a saloon-keeper's speech on exhibiting his wares for a pri«e at a State Fair. ' Gentlemen, I took this boy out of a Sundav School only 18 months ago. His father is dead, ^he old man voted for license all his days, and left his eon for me to practise on. See, in 18 months his mother has died of^n broken heart, and he has become what yon behold, — all bloated, dirty and diseased. GOOD WORK, don't you think soP Moreover under a per- mit for pay, the State is my partner in this business, and it should not discredit this beautiful specimen of our joint handiwork." Look on this picture and ihen on that and you need not ask why a total abstainer lives nearly "twice as long as those who are tiplers. These two cases furnish you with premises and con- clumon without any brain eH'.trt to compare and deduct. Here are a few propositioiii that tha thoughtAiI may think over. 1. Every one ought to know that it is next to impos- sible ta J^t pure wines, brandies or liquors, but the bulk of trticles sold are mtide up of the most danger- ous drugs, which poison the blood and ensure early dticay ot the physiot I system. 2.

That the frequent and unreatricted uae ofiricohol innat be pronounced in the lii^'bt of acience aud inowtedgo, the very lowest kind ut quackery, especi- ally in those cases, in which the «'.ote is mearured by the patient's appotite. lU. i'hat the uae of alcoholic .liquera a^ a medicine, by the doctor's order, has made a gi'eat many drunk- ards ; has caused the backsliding of profeeaud chritt- tianti; tbe fall and ruin of reformea drunkards; and to all appearance the eternal ruin of precious souls. This pre- scribing business has been especially injurious to women 1 1. Titat I have in my possessiou evidence that doc- tors huve given preacriptiona for whiakey to well men to the extent of, Iroiu one to four quart bottles at a time. That a doctor who will thus I wet his noble calling to such an extent, as to be thi means of de- moralizing weak men by giving them bogus certiticatee ileservoB all the dishonor that an exposure ol his wickedness desert es. I'J I'hnt every doctor of only modt^ratley wide reading uid experience, knows that where alcohol has saved <>no life, it has destroyed a thoueand. .ind that doc- i«ra with this knowledge of the vastly more destruc- live nature of alcohol, than its curative powers, are in I he sight of Qud and man, cruel tu humanity, when they carlesflly and t'requentiv prescribe this gigantic [oison, to be taken as a medicine. . 13. That during the first six months of this year no kiss than tlio enormous number of ASS prescriptions were drawn up by the doctore of this town, for liquors tc bo supplied by the liquor agent While 34 pre- Rcriptiona were received which were written by 10 doctors out of town. There is proof positive that mtny of these prescriptions were given for other than i^iiidicjil purpose!. That many of them were given in dintinct violation of our local law, and regnnllea«i ol thii inevitable ruin and desradation they imposed on the drinkers. 14. Aa a proof that many of these preecriptiona were boijuo ones, I lind by glancing over the books ol the ageiit that the naiiie^ ot many of the persons to whom the;' were given are habitual tiplers, the reading aloud of >vhich names would make so'ne of the doctors' checks blush ; and the sales in December are nearly doul'le those of any other month, except May, in which are two general holidays Queen's liirtbday and and rounding of Varmonth, 16. If all those persons who got liquors on a doctor's presciiption during the tirst six months of this year, has boon sick in Imd, we ahould have required twice as many doctors to attend to them as we nave in town .\ud iv they were not sick enough to be in bed, I ask in the name of truth and honour, bow can our medical men bHray the great and sacred truat which la com milted to them, in the care of our mortal bodies f The three years previous to Mr. Sanders' appointment there was sold $6532.00 worth of liquors and beers.

Hut I tupiKwe there is not a young man here who cannot recall the facea of rome young men, who to-day would have been en- joying the comtorts of a pleasant homo, and the froita of an industrious career, but for this demon alcohol, liefora how many grave* yeu can pause in yonder cemetery and say, "Here lies the dust of a once bright and promising young man, whom this demon aleoDol laid away in an early grave." Oh, I plead with you that you will take warning ere it be too Ute, for when the body has become so de6led, that tbe iirat stage of Alcuh'olic poisoning has begun, there ia very little hope of a cure. , Saya one, " Some years ago, I waa tent for in haate to visit a /oung man who was dangerously ilL I went to the house.

Yahmoute, Nova SroriA, Jan. 10th, 1887. a the Secietary ot Yarmouth County Convention : iSkr:--The Committe appointed to interview Mr, harles W.

He accompanied us to his cellar, in wh>ch tlie )ur.t are kept, showed us the different brands offered f hill for sale, and gave u.« tl.e cost of diflurant randr of liquors, and in our opinion the prices charg' I by him, yield but a fair remuneration.

That report gives a clear straight-forward denial to II th* falsehoods that have been circulated about the iiality and prices of his liauors. And from what I DOW of the standing of Mr. Sanders both in the lurch and in business circles, 1 would rather believe is word than all his enemies combined. Hia personal laracter, his place in this uliurcb. and the clnracter r Ills home-life nre such as to have verv few equals in lis town. I challenge any one of his enemies, leraies whom he hitx m Vile thrniffh being just and rict in the administration of his office as liquor agent challenge any of such men to pinrj beside bis record I a christian, as a father and husband, as an upright Uiiness man its EQUA L. It cannot be done. Soma r bis own fellow members have treated him cooly, scause they have believed the fn1.d« of tlie riim- ics. Now let ine ask every member of this church I give Charles W. .Saunders the true place his charae ir deserves. I have urged him to give up thiti ^pncy, and he ihw decided to do so, und wash his inds of the infema! stuff*. Many pec«u8e every ()odly woman ; she instructed me nuthfully ; prayed for me tenderly ; and triad to make me a good man. I left home and came to Beaton to make my own living. I intended to do right and iollow my mother't counsels. Her last gift to mo was thit bible. At first I read it dailv, and uttendud worship every Sabbath ; but I fell into bad oampany, and gradually went astray, until I lost all inv manliuast and be- came a wretched drunkard. I have burst a blood vesxel and nni dying ; for God's sake and my mother'a, PCAV FOR Me. I lea him in great distress and the next day I touud bim deid. lie was lying with his book clasped to his lips. It was wet with tears and blood, and torn with hit convulsive agonies. Some years after I made a temperance speech and I related the incident holding up the bible, at I djd so. There was a stir in the aadience. A poor woman with a sad heart-broken expreshion, arose and tottered to the pUtform. She implored me to let her have tbe book. The stillness of the room waa terrrible. Every eye was Hxed upon her ; with trembling hands she turned to the fly-leaf; then with a scream she fell faint to the floor. She had read thu name of her son, and for the first time knew of his sad fate." Ob my dear young men, I plead with you in the name of that dear old motherly heart ; in the name of the many tear-bedewed prayers she has put up to Qod for her boy ; in the name of those premr.turely gray hairs your past dissipation has caused ; in the name of those early sacrifices if rest and health which she endured for you, I implore you to give up the accursed glass, and tbe twin-evil cigar, and -the pack ,n who is bUghted bv^lcohol, has his manliness blast- of onrds. and turn to yocr mother's Qod, and her ;and always tries to injure temperance workers in a way, and in the dork. What a record could lie nishod of window-breaking, and barn-burniug and even murder by those who have been demoralized this abominable thing, alcohol. And now young men, if you want to live long, and (ill the sublime mission of % true man ; if you de- to cultivate a strong and manly character ; if you •h to attign unto a virtuous, cliaate. and honorable YOU MUST OIVE UP STRONG DRINK, i dare to be a Daniel, I am not speaking to you mretically, but out of a sad and sickening eiper- ce I know the siren-like bewitoliery of gay and rldly companions. I know a Utile of the satanic eery of last, drinking, and smoking society, and but the grace of Ood, 1 would have been in my grave gugu. I know by painful experience the truth ol It holy coinmandment that says, " I the Ixird thy d am a jealous God, visiting ttie iniquity of the fa- in upon the children onto the third and fourth temtiou of them that hate Me. Out of poverty icttrity, and niiaary Ood mciouily lifted me, and mml up a way, whereby iTiata eosse tsj be a worker his vineyard. Uow I often long lor the sticngfth of lovely Christ and begin to live anew. And you lathers and husbands, will yon not aid us in this humble endeavour to save the boys, and help them to escape the inevitable scourage of body and soul which strong drink will bring on to them F Can it be that they have learned the ways ot evil from you P Must you shut your lips in their presence because yon are doing what you hate to tee them doing ? O do be men, or hurry out of this world. Mothers and wives and maidens, do I beseech you wake up and do something to halp save the boys. I,i*i iojbt a Daniel, Otre to stand Jone !
