...well worn, and well hacked one. We now need no argument for it. All are agreed on the first point, at least-that drunkenness is an evil, and an evil that all should seek to avoid. Traffic, or provision in any way encouraging drunkenness, should be discouraged. But people object, and say that there is no sin in moderate drink-Dr. Crosby has even said that temperance is more manly than total abstinence; the temperate man is the manly man, the total abstainer the coward, and the excessive user the beast.

From this it appears that the development of the elective system has been...
...from compulsory chapel-going. We sincerely hope the former contingency is not the actual case. Improvements in the service, if they are possible, will not avail much in the present state of the prayer question. The fact is, the men who signed the prayer petition did so because they object to take religion under compulsion, and not from dissatisfaction with the service. This objection, however, is one which can not be obviated by anything short of voluntary chapel...
