THE REV. DR. GUTHRIE says:—I have heard a man with a bottle of whiskey before him have the impudence and assurance to say—"Every creature of God is good, and, nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving; and he would persuade me that what was made in the still pot was a creature of God. In one sense it is so, but in the same sense so is arsenic, so is oil of vitriol, so is prussic acid. Think of a person tossing off a glass of vitriol, and excusing himself by saying that it is a creature of God. He would not use many such creatures, that's all I say. Whiskey is good in its own place. There is nothing like whiskey in this world for preserving a man when he is dead. But it is one of the worst things in the world for preserving a man when he is living. If you want to keep a dead man, put him in whiskey, if you want to kill a living man, put the whiskey into him. It was a capital thing for preserving the dead Admiral, when they put him in a rum puncheon, but it was a bad thing for the sailors when they tapped the cask and drank the liquor till they left the Admiral as he never left the ship—high and dry.
