MORAL RENOVATION. (By the Rev. J. KNOX.)

We take the following extracts from the concluding part of the Temperance Prize Essay, which will be issued from , the press in a few days z——

I. FROM the preceding observations we see that the use of intoxicating drinks is an evil. This I have attempted to establish, not by blinded assertion. uncer- tain theory, or idle speculation; but by the irresistible and not-to—be-mistakeii evidence of facts. It is an evil resulting from the violation of law. Our bodily powers, like every part ofnature, are governed by ﬁxed laws, the Violation of which disturbs the order and harmony of I he

There never was a time, perhaps, in this world‘s eventful history, more extraordinary than the pfesent-— more marked by a strange combination of mighty cir- cumstances, and demonstrative of the vast capabilities ofthe world, as if indicative of the approach _of some mighty catastrophe—mas if we were standing upon the threshhold of an opening and enlarged constitution of things, more pregnant with hope for our race by the influence they are evidently intended to exort over the present happiness and future destinies of mankind. There is abundant encouragement to lead us to enter- tain the hope that the great things spoken of Zion shall speedily be accomplished by the power of that Spirit which operates in connection with '1‘11UTII,«'IH(I for the proper ascertainment of which, knowledge is essential. Accordingly, this period is to be characterised by know— lodge-—saving knoivledge-L-iiot to the exclusion of soience or ofthe works of God, but embracing every thing that can enlarge our conceptions of his character as displayed in the operations of nature, of providence and of grace «-an era of enlightenment, of mental and moral glory»- of rcctitute of principle and uprigbtness' of action, which evidently implies the abandonment of every thing that would disturb the balance of the niitid.

It is the duty of all to abandon the system of destruc- tion and delusion, so pregnant with evil to mankind—— immediately to adopt and perseveiingly to diffuse those principles that tend to the physical, mental, and moral improvement of mankind.

In short, I regard the establishment of Total Absti. nence Associations as the ﬁrst, though a subordinate, measure of a series for the entire renovation of mankind; as the only effectual means to put us in the undisturbed possession ofthat grand attribute of our nature, by which we are distinguished from the inferior creation, by the removal of those customs whose effects becloud, impair, and entrammel it in every department of its operations— a measure which will render the mind superior to those mysterious bewilderments which are co-existeiit with ignorance and superstition; .1 which will tend to the development of the moral and intellectual powers, and by their exercise, to the illumination of knowledge, the corn- prehension of science, and to higher and nobler attain- ments in philosophic and moral truth, till, under these enlightening and expanding influences, the present ini- perfect system of instruction be exploded, and a purer, a more rational, and a more elevated method of educa- tion be demanded—a method which will delight, while it cultivates, and strengthen while it informs the mind- and a system being established in accordance with the intellectual and moral progression of the people, from which shall emanate streams of enlightened and varied knowledge, the public mind shall be delivered from every contaminating inﬂuence, and ﬁtted to appreciate all that is noble in mind, and high and elevating in morals; to perceive more clearly their existing relations to God and to each other, and to practise more perfectly those
