FLESHERTON : THURSDAY, SEPT. 11, 1884. THE ADVANCE under the TEMPERANCE V. INTEMPER- ANCE.' A short time ago an editorial ap- I tared above heading, by way of reply to an article above a similar heading which appeared in tlu- Thombury Standard, above tlic nom dt plume, " Temper- ance." In last week's Venture ap jieared a reply to our editorial by the same gcnili man. Our old friend I we believe we can confidently claim him as froch ) starts out by giving us credit for desiring to Lear all that can be .sides of tin question. said on both He is right. We do most sincerely desire to hear all that cun bo said on both sides, not only of this, but of every public question. How are people to decide intelligently if they only bear one side of a question? In !!'( ix-iu-e to our first question, us to whether thr passage " Cursed is he that yivi-tli bin neighbor drink," liouhl be till. i>ii in the literal sense or not, " Temperance " says, Yes, I tulra >v \iVcml\y, amd I likewise take 'hit literally, " I was thirsty ami yo gave me drink, for in as ye did it for one of these tittle ones, ye did it also for me." Now, what docs all this prove, friend "Temperance?" The second pass, age docs not state whether it was by wine or water our Saviour s thirst was quenclied. It simply says " I was thirsty and yc gave me drink," but does not say by what that thirst was aaauagcd. You say, that almost every day yon " curse the scoundrels who sell poor liquor to maku him drunk for the sake of thr profits on a paUry 10 cents!" And then you bless the man who gives his neighbor good beer to drink. Now, you will say, the first passage docs not say whetlier the " drink is wine or water. But, re- member, that there is a cnrte in the first quotation which is not to be found in the second indeed the latter Rounds much like a blessing. And, besides, but that the come in just arc not quite sure word "ttrong" should before " drink " in the first quotation, which we only gave from memory, mid have not time to hunt up" just now. Anyway it is not likely that wnter would be cursed. " No drunkard nhall enter the kingdom of Heaven." "Temperance" admits that this " is a powerful reason why moderate drinkers should do Kuntftkinii. but," he adds, " it is no reason at all why they should tolerate such an impudent condemnation of the first miracle of Jesus as tho. placing of tho Scott Act on the Statutes was." Jesus certainly did turn .water into wine at the marriage supper at Cana. No question about it. I tut, no doubt, the wine was gn<l not like 'hi> adnltorated, poisonous Evidently, however, the wine made by our Saviour was either not in- treating, or the gucata partook sparingly of it, for we arc not told that there wero any drunken men at that marriage feast. It is not the proper nse of pure liquor we condemn BO much as the abu$ of it by grasping manufacturers, by adulteration, in order to create a constant longing for it in that large class of humanity who cannot control their appetites, and by the habitual drunkard. Right here, we would ask our well- informed friend, " Temperance," in what manner should tho manufacture and sale of vile adulterated liquors bo dealt with and only the pure " article " placed on the market? We might also reiterate the question put in a former issue in what manner should we deal with drunkards ? And, sup- posing only pure liquors arc sold, will that do away with all the evils of the liquor traffic ? In reply to our question, as to whether there was even a hundred moderate drinkers in the Township of Collingwood, " Temperance " re- plies, " Yes, sir, and without going more than ono mile north of Clarks- burg bridge, or more than three miles in any direction from it." That settles it, of course, for we know our friend is not only well posted in that respect, but we also know that he would never stoop to tell a falsehood under any circumstances. But is it not a sad fact, that within the small district you have mapped out there are the graves of men who have died the drunkard s death ; that there arc the- wrecks of noble manhood who, every wecH, pans throngh your beautiful villages like gaunt spectres, illustrat- ing with terrible force that passage of scripture which saith "win* it n mocker ; itrong drink rageth ; " that there are men wh would deprive themselves and families of the necessaries of life and some v<ry who have done so in order to satisfy the cravings of a vitiated taste. We have not space, however, thia week to discuss the question at greater lenth ; and as our friend, "Temper- ance," proposes to tell us about the tomething moderate drinkers should do in order that drunkards may not be debarred from entering heaven, we close for the present with the re- mark, that it is a pleasure to us to discuss this great question with so worthy an opponent. would be delighted to see this Mr. Thnmon if it is the same man we mean for many reasons best known to himself and us. REPREHENSIBLE. " Dare to be true, nothing can noda He." That any man pretending to edit a reliable newspaper, should furnish such a distorted, inaccurate report of a base ball match which he attended in i> i son as did tho editor of the Dundalk Herald in his last week's paper in reporting the match between Flesherton and Dnudalk Base Ball Clubs is enough to " make angels weep" and men grow woary of this deceitful and wicked world. That a man of Mr. Theophilus Hall's high mural and mental status should de- scend so far in ihe scale of respecta- bility as to tell downright falsehoods and to slur over the truth, is a shock to men who have regarded him here- tofore as " without spot and blemish '' ilmott. We stand amazed our- self we who have long known Theophilus as a man who was always ready to take more credit unto him- self than was his due to sec with what unblushing effrontery he en- deavors to cast a stigma on the houor and fair name of the youth of Flesh- u. .n. It is enough to make the very stones weep and cry out in righteous indignation " Alas I the mighty fallen!" in the teeth of this alas ! how are We cast back " plucky little man " the fonndationlcss insinuation, that the " thax>wing up of thu game wan a prearranged affair in case Dundalk was Bare to win." Of course ho qualifies the contemptible slur, by saying ho " cannot say whether it was so or not," but directly after- wards he adds insult to insult by saying that " circumstances appeared to favor this view, for (mark the " plucky little man's " words) as soon as the dispute arose, Fleshcrton players left the field without waiting to see if the matter could be amicably settled I " And then he further adds that the decisions of umpire Peterson " were impartially given." The above are unqualified falsehoods. Tho de-, ANOTHER POINTER FOR THE- OPHILUS.

All that was hnmuising enough to the family, but one of his expressions, viz., " That it wot a pity to bury mrh u iticf girl in a . burying ground," sets him off as a limb of tho High Church party. Such a spirit is bad enough for tho old country nnd the dark ages, but who would have thought in tho niiiutc. n'li century, and in Canada right here in Artemosia such priestly bigotry existed. Is it to be wondered at, that the family referred to henceforth renounces a Pan- tor of snch narrow, shrivelled, popish proclivities , nnd seeks a better and inoro benign atmosphere?

Wo of Peterson in the case most munition comprising the Church of particularly referred to, was acknow- ledged unjust by one of the most honorable members in the Dundalk team. The Herald can't wriggle out of this, adept as he is at the art. The Flesherton players left the fluid solely because of this unjust decision, the vile and repeated insinuations to the contrary notwithstanding. The Herald ulso lakes the oppor- tunity to throw a little mud at THK ADVANCK man, and even hurt he must report to falsehood. \\'e were not, as this falsifier ntates, "lying under the .

So much for the statements of this ' plucky little man," who, occasion- ally takes his stand in the pulpit and preaches from the good old book in which occurs this passage "Thou uhalt not bear false witness against ,hy neighbor." It would be a blessing to the community if thin scribe would once in a while put his preaching into n-acticc.
