l for aid. And this, with the instinct of genius, Garrison did in the temperance reform, nearly seventy years ago. His editorials in the Philanthropist in the year 1828 on Female influence may be said to be the courier avant of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of to-day, as they were certainly the precursors of the female aningstone do we find a record of more astonishing activity and achievement than what is contained in these sentences, written by Garrison of Lundy, in the winter of 1828? Within a few months he has traveled about twenty-four hundred miles, of which upwards of nineteen hundred were performed on foot! during which time he has held ned in his rising. Never was moral sublimity of character better illustrated. Such was the marvelous man, whose visit to Boston, in the month of March, of the year 1828, dates the beginning of a new epoch in the history of America. The event of that year was not the Bill of abominations, great as was the national excitement which

He did not hesitate to charge to Federal legislation the responsibility for all this poverty and distress, for he

o one of these causes. He says: I was most kindly received by all, and treated as a brother, notwithstanding the wide difference of opinion between us on some religious points, especially the Sabbath question. The italics are our own. Until within a few years he had been one of the strictest of Sabbath observers. Although never formally connected with any church, he had been a narrow and even an intolerant believer in the creed and observances of New England orthodoxy. Words failed him in 1828 to express his abhorrence of a meeting of professed infidels: It is impossible, he exclaimed with the ardor of a bigot, to estimate the depravity and wickedness of those who, at the present day, reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ, etc. A year and a half later while editing the Genius in Baltimore, he held uncompromisingly to the stern Sabbatical notions of the Puritans. A fete given to Lafayette in France on Sunday seemed to him an act of sheer religious desecration. The carrying of passeng
