The owner, under these circumstances
The owner, under these circumstances, was held responsible, and justly too, for the injury which his beast might do. Though men are not required, or permitted now, to execute this law, as they were when God was the Magistrate, yet the reason of the law remains. It is founded in justice, and is eternal. To the pauperism, crime, sickness, insanity, and death, temporal and eternal, which ardent spirit occasions, those who knowingly furnish the materials, those who manufac¬ture, and those who sell it, are all accessory, and as such will be MBT held responsible at the divine tribunal. There was a time when the owners did not know the dangerous and destructive qualities of this article—when the facts had not been developed and published, nor the minds of men turned to the subject; when they did not know that it caused such a vast portion of the vice and wretchedness of the community, and such wide-spreading desolation to the temporal and eternal interests of men; and although it then destroyed thousands, for both worlds, the guilt of the men who sold it, was comparatively small. But now they sin against light, pouring down upon them with unutterable brightness; and if they know what they do, and in full view of its consequences, continue that work of death—not only let the poison go out, but furnish Tory Burch Outlet it, and send it out to all who are dis¬posed to purchase,—it had been better for them, and better for many others, if Tory Burch Flats they had never been born. For, 1. It is the selling of that, without the use of which, nearly all the business of this world was conducted, till within less than three hundred years; and which of course is not needful. 2. It is the selling of that, which was not generally used by the people of this country, for more than a hundred years after tbe country was settled; and which, by hundreds of thousands, and some in all kinds of lawful business, is not used now. Once they did use it, and thought it needful, or useful. But by exper¬iment, the best evidence in the world, they have found that they were mistaken; and that they are in all respects better without it. And the cases are so numerous as to make it certain, that should the experiment be fairly made, this would be the case with all. Of course, it is not useful. 3. It is the selling of that which is a real, a subtil, and very destructive poison; a poison, which by men in health cannot be taken, without deranging healthy action, and inducing more or less disease, both of body and mind; which is,when taken in any quantity, positively hurtful; and which is, of course, forbid¬den by the word of God. 4. It is the selling of that, which tends to form an unnatural MBT Shoes and a very dangerous and destructive appetite; which, by grati¬fication, like the desire of sinning in the man who sins, tends con¬tinually to increase; and which thus exposes all who form it, to come to a premature grave.
