AfG 1, 1884. TEMPERANCE V. Iff TEMPER ANCE." A letter under this heading ap- peared in the week before last's Thorn- bury Standard, above the signature- " Temperance." The writer is a moderate drinker and denounces any prohibitory measure as tyrannical and unjust. He says it is wrong to pro- liibit the use of liquor simply in order o save the drunkard from that which in ruining him body and soul. It is an uujust and tyrannical measure as regards tin man who uses liquor in moderation. It interferes with his rights and liberties as a free-born man. He quotes scripture to show that man is endowed with the privi- lege of choosing between good and evil, and that the nse of wine in moderation is not condemned but up- held. " Choose ye yourselves what task. DR. SPROULE. The Thornbury Standard of a recent issue speaks in the following high terms of our member for the Commons, Dr. Sproule : Our member for the House of Com- mons, Dr. Spronle, visited this section on Friday and Saturday last. He has kept his promise like a man, and shows by his acts the deep interest he takes in the welfare of his constituency. That he has done nobly, and is doing nobly for this riding is patent to both his political friends and opponents ; aud we trust when he oext comes be- fore us without the M. P., the consti- tuency will be grateful enough to send when circumstances actually calls for it.

This and a number of J _, _ j . J him to parliament without the un- other quotations arc introduced to strengthen his arguments. While admitting that Temper- ance " oscs tli* strongest arguments ttfi a pOMibly UMM! in the iutuwsts of anti-prohibitionists, and ^HH\H himself to be a keen, logical reaaonor, there are several points important ones, too he has evi- dently overlooked. ill There is a passage somewhere in Scripture which saith " cursed is In- that givotli his neighbor drink," or words to that effect. Are we to accept this passage in the literal inter- pretation ? If so. what position docs the moderate drinker occupy ; or 19 he in tilt habit of giving his neighbor dunk ? How did he learn to nse it if his neighbor did not give it to him ? 1 2i " No drunkard shall enter the kingdom of heaven," suitli Holy Writ. IB this not a strong reason why moderate drinker* as well as teetotal- lers should do something yea, even to sacrifice a not very beneficial habit in order that poor, fallen, treat liunmnity might be rescued from the pit into wliiuli it has fallen and not debarred from entering Heaven. Surely it would not IK- a great sacri- fice for men who can " take their glass, or leave it alone ?

Our amiable but, at timcn, rather excitable friend, the editor of the Dnndalk Herald, seems determined to gain a little cheap notoriety in con- nection with an editorial which ap- peared in Tut ADVANCK a few weeks ago under the heading, " Show Your Colors." Indeed he seems to be a little jealous because Tux ADVANCE man, instead of himself, was the first to point out to the journals in the immediate neighborhood their duty as " moulders of public opinion." There was really nothing in what we said to arouse the anger of such a "mild and unassuming " gentleman as the editor of the Htrnld for, notwith- standing the fact that he has called us some very niuuhty names, we Hill believe him to be rather a good sort of a fellow. At the same time we must frankly confess he is not just as " mild aud unassuming " at ho in supposed to TEC Agent'* Herald for August, denounces Toronto Truth for going into the newspaper lottery business, and says that it belies its name very much by the course it is pursuing.
