Temperance Societies are no tuofe ma
dern institutions than drunkenness IL
modern vice. Higisfnnnd de DietrichstHii
established one 10 1917 under the atispi
ces of st. Christopher. In 1000 Mauric,
Duke of Hease established one, by thu
regulations Of which, a Knight was ALLOW
ed to drink seven glasses IT aaeH ficl
twice q day. This Ii sotiethinE like tht
modern Practice. Our temperance soGie.
ties have only d local Jurisdiction, and b
temporary partial one At that. The Boston
W~ashingtonian gets drunk in New Or
lenns; and the member of d state, county
or city society, limits bis obligations 10
the pledge by the confines If the territory
embraced IN the maine Of The society! in
all cases If sickness they take n genera
dispensation. It IL gratifying however to
know, that notwithstanding the general
prevalence Of this vice, Tie world is grad.
ually improving in temperance. There is
not so much gluttony or drunkenness now
as there have been in former times. Tho
gradual extension of, and Improvement in,
the moral education of tho lower classes
of society. backed by the good example
of those who give tone to pubic opinion,
has effected d more s~alutary change than
all penal enactinents. all the dannnciations
of legislatures, all the anathemas Of The
pulpit could ever ha ve done. Tho news.
papers have done more for the cause of
temperance than all s~anctitnonions almo.
nltIo1s have ever done. and Gre nj this
dav ii more effective advocate nf it than
all tho ranting pseudo saints in christen-
dom or all temperance societies put to.
