But surely l cannot see the brilliant, untarnished glories to be shed forth, by a prohibition court, setting in judgment against a sinless pro duct of the soil, for the purpose of cleansing the hearts of the wicked. The spirit of our Christ, with out the aid of*civic enforcement acts, must abate the spiA- ual evil of stimulants, or any other iniquities thut debar men from the spiritual Kingdom of our God. If by impartial inves tigation, our rulers find the liquor Gallic to be deteriinentai to prosperity and our fundamen tal principles. An enemy to government institutions.
