CORRESPONDENCE.

TEMPERANCE MINISTERS. || : - (To the Editor.), Sltr, —Having read in your issue of 'the 7(1 a letter headed " Temperance Ministers,* tigned " liondstency, I should like t« make v few remarks in answer to him. In the first place I must say that Iproteit agaUst his erecting the spirit Of drink lota a mystical king, and placing him i» juxtaposition with the Redeemer of tha' World, "King Jesua." Secondly, on the--* I matter of church officers, there can be no doubt that if the majority of the member* of any church are total abstainon, they will in all probability lit the fact influence their choice, and no one could complain |bol when it comes to total abstinenoa being mada " an abaolutaly necessary qualification" for church membership, then it it another1 matter. I am sure anyone who' knew tat Scriptures would not advocate such a pieos 1 ot unwarrantable tyranny)' neither woilil i any minister, understanding whai'ekurta membership really means, be Justified is adopting such a oourte. St. Panl ea.Ua m>/ '.■ oommunieation "delivering unto Satu, aea lit Timothy, lit to 20th t,, aid is is " evil ent that only for the actual aommtwic* •■ of very grosa sin could such a manor* to curried into effect* It ii not (in1 to tar - beer, make fermented • wine, or te sell the same.

Such idea* are only of hunan origin, although they general^ emanate from those that think themselvesrand «omf> times speak of themselves as th« more refer gious portion of the community. I think a a pfty that the word Gbapel ilwnid be nsaj In connection with the name, of total ami* nence sooieties, becaaie I do1 not tee Uun there ia any actual or necessary eonnecHMJ - between the two i neither W tha word temperance rightly used by war ? societies.
