people in our midst so disloyal to the noble defenders of our j country a perusal of our friends letter must cause the reader to conclude that the manifest intention of the writer was not so much to correct the wrong impression respecting the unanimous sanction of the church parade as to direct a covert thrust at the lords army wherever you found these sublime ideas my letter neither expresses nor implies them what i said is this i am able to inform you that i heard it the rausis not the parade denounced after i came out of the church as a profanation of the lords day seeing yoa so adroitly

the cbrutian guardian sizes up the scott act campaign now in progress throughout this cxnidi of oun tv follows the echoes of conflict ire monad us on every side tjjj people are getting thor- ooghly aroused to the evils ol the liquor traffic enthusiastic meetings are being held in a large number of counties it is also a good sign that the opponents of pro hibition are active in defence of their bosi- ess because itsiob that they feel their craft is in dinger whit u the istue ia tkit eonfid it is whether the places of tenjpt- tion should be closed or not it is whether 1 demoralizing traffic should be maintained against the judgment of a majority of the people for the benefit of the few ko one has the hardihood to maintain that the country would really suffer physicially socially or religiously if the traffic in in- undcating liquors was stopped- who art v the partes in this faniist f on the one side are those who are disinterestedly laboring to promafce the moral and social vrellbeing of the people t nearly all the ministers of all christijsirchiirches favor prohibition so do almost all earnest christian people in all denominations and ail who are them- selves total abstainers whether they are right or wrong atieast they have a high philanthropic- motive in favor of the traffic we have those who are selfishly interested because they mass their living by eehing or manufacturing uquer those who are habitual users of liquor and do not want the supply cut off and a third party whose educational prejudices are in favor of things continuing as they are or who have friends in the business it is evident therefore if votes are tobe weigh- j ed as well as counted that the verdict of those who are for the scott act is worthy ofmuch greater consideration than that of those who are against it what arc ke arguments used against the act it is said tt cannot be enforced this comes with s bad grace from those who are selfishly and illegally laboring to violate it it can be enforced if they act as kwading citizens it is said it interferes with mens liberty to frftilt sot with mens liberty to drink bat with their liberty to sell liquor when it has been abundantly shown that the traffic is demoralizing and hurtful to the interests of the community but says another men are sfrengthened by tempta tion and yoa interfere with the divine or- cter if you take away temptation if this wnxanninp in correct wb do god service by multiplying temptations to sin the truth is all the arguments against the scott act are the weak special pleadings of interested parties substituted the due for the other you must have some skill m the art of shuffling as for your imputation of disloyalty to the noble defenders of our country it might have been some spirit from the tasty deep j that inspired your mind with the notion certainly not what i wrote and with regard to my intention to direct a covert thrust all the lords army as you call it i can assure vou that t had no such u intention if you in your seal to defend your friends had not in your edi torial virtually imputed insincerity or instability to a respectable and upright portion of your neighbors including the greatest numberof a christian congregation in their disapproval of your pet armys boisterous proceedings on the streets if they are hurt jvou are to blamafor it for you introduced hem into this affair with out the least cause or provocation though soma men are magnanimous enough to acknowledge a mistake i was foolish in expecting the editor of the acton fbxe pkess to do so for really i do not re member him to have ever done anything- of the kind to silence an ordinary editor in his own paper is an arduous undertak ing one mighi as well assail jobs levi athan protected as he was with his strong and closely joiirad scales having now on my part finished this slight tussle with you i thank you for your courtesy in giving a place to these letters in your columns and remain yours truly

of his road to endeavor to convince our readers thai we imputed insincerity or instability to a respectable and upright portion of your neighbors inclnding the greatest number of a christian congregation such was car- tainly not our intention neither did our words imply such a conclusion and we feel confident that xery few beside our respected friend ever th ught of such a thing when they read the litem referred to we consider the remarks concerning our willingness to acknowledge a mistake most unreasonable and unfair the fexpbzss has ever evinced a readiness to fully atone for any

agree with the ooncluding sentiment of your reply to the rev- d b camerons letter that the army have the right and certainly should be allowed to quietly enjoy the privuege allowed other religious

therein disturb the enjoyment of the samej right by their neighbors i must strongly protest against your assump tion that those who do not approve of mil itary parades iriih mafic on sunday are therefore disloyal to the noble defenders of our country or to our good queen whom may qod still spare long to reign over us i was out in 66 and served several year with our volunteers and should my country canada or the em pirerequire the sacrifice would go again but i should be very sorry to have to ans wer present to my name at a sunday parade to march to church with music why sir at church parade in our battalion camp tbe band instruments were laid a- side and thejdrums alone used for a read ing desk and the bandsmen who possessed good voices led the singing as a choir on sunday yet our
