The tone of these articles for sume time past has been uncharitable and narrow-minded to a degree, but the one in question seems to cap them all.

the insinuation that some of them are not fit to j Christin and that their endeavours can good to.the cause they advocate nor in any way benefit Uhemselves; this, I think, i unchriatian and rude tu meritgousideration.
What example does the great Master set us in this respect? And low did he turn round on the Pharisees, who hugged themselves in their self-righteouses? The New. Testament and the life of Jesus Christ team with examples of charity and consideration for others, and for very letter of the law that the writer of the jous articles in the Temperance Union can bring to bear on their sentiments, a hundred instances of toleration and noble-minded sympathy can be produced to rotate them.
