Editor Ka Leo. A professed Ohristian prohibitioDist will say, to Hades, with everything with the ahape of alehoholie drinks. The Lord says : u Give strong drinks unto those that are ready to perish." Again Mr. Prohibit says : 4, W:ne and other alehoholie beverages is on!y fit for the devil, and his works." The Lord says : "Give wine nnto those that be of heavy heart, let them drink and Ihink of their sorrows no raoFe." The prohibitionist says, destroy everything in the shape of wine thronghout the universe. The Lord eu(souraged the use of wine by tuming water into wine. Now then my brave professed Christian prohibitionist, hoist you colors in the main, and step out before the world and say i at onee, that the Lord is wrong and we are right. A professed ChriBtian prohibitionist appears to one outside of the pale of the church, as the quint-tesaence of ineonsistency and hypocracy. The true Christian practicea charity and good will to man, d|tv after day during all time. The hvpocrite who is in the great nuyority % makes a prelence of oharity, etc., during church Ume» while under the eyes of the cottgregation; whieh is the worst strain t that he has to contend with dnring the week. The hypocrite in his heart dislik«B the Babhalh; worldly aflklfBand Jthe dolUr in his life, and God. I £BIS QO wmmn.

In re,i(ling thc leader in tbe Adr ,vertUer of June 10. I wae furcibls* remintied of those <lear oīJ times sav, from 1887 up eleetion, During that titi)e the Ad vertiser felt itself Vx>th lustv, and saucy.. If the reader wiU take the trouble to hunt up the Adv#*rtiser, or Gazetse from 1887 to last general eleeiion, he will there find bounce, and abuseof his fdllowman, enough t© sink a four thousand.ton clipper, or' swamp a fashionable cburch. Those were love!y tinies, for the Advertiser ionocents. .Mechanic.
