They have no nt?r©j right to do so than teetotalers have to « on licensing benches.; A total abstinent crusade is one thing-, but gospel preaching is another. Ministers of religion, <,as a matter, of fact, do sometimes "leavetheir platforms to make commbn causa against the drink traffic," but such departures are generally ill-timed and distasteful, and too dosely resemble the bottled peas competition and. special totedodgesjof worldly money-hunters. ; lam, (fee, Every mas to, ma trade.
